My dog absolutely loves this kibble. He also seems to have more energy and overall seems to be just what our senior dog needed. He is a 12.5 year old Havanese mix.
As far as I know this food is perfectly fine, but my 2 dogs wouldn't eat it.My shitzu is 14 years old and my 4 1/2# maltese is almost 17 years old. The maltese has very few teeth so I purchased this food hoping that the kibbles would be small enough for for him to handle. They are not. He's tiny. I tried it dry and by wetting the food, but neither of my 2 would eat it.I posted with this review, a picture of some of the kibbles showing size in relation to a dime and a nickle. I hope this aids in helping you make a decision about this dog food.
This is perfect for my super senior dog who is 16 years old. She does eat it does not make her sick
It's okay she's not crazy about it

Our boxer doesnt like it as well as their canned dog food BUT she does eat a little...where she wouldnt eat other expensivw dry dog foods. She is picky!
This company is amazing. Our dog loved this food.
My senior dog did not like the taste too much. Will have to look for a different one after he finishes it. He prefers other lines from the same brand. They are kind of big kibbles, however my dog is toothless and I mush it in warm water.
Great dog for for older dogs that need a special diet. I keep this for my 15-year-old grand-dog, and this was recommended by the vet for his health/nutrition. By feeding the dog the correct amount, he has lost weight and is moving and breathing much better. I do soften the kibble with a little bit of dog bone broth, and he eats it all without issue. The kibble is the right size for small dog, like my Pomeranian grand-dog.
Great dog food that my dog will actually eat!!
My older dog lives it
Great shape great quality, but very expensive. Definitely go with the 12 lb bag for the cheaper price
I Give them to my 15 year old dog as treats to get more nutrition into him. They are not as soft as I hoped they would be, so I break them for him.
Only kibble my senior jrt would eat. He has now crossed over. I trust RC products. My two senior rescues are now eating the xsmall 12+. Again, only kibble they will eat. And they have very few teeth left!! They eat lots of soft, fresh home cooking and veggies, but i can hear the munching.
Our mini dachshund likes this food and it was time to get him onto the upper age stuff according to the vet. We’ve been loyal customers to royal canine and I suspect we always will be. Just wish they’d come out with deals or coupons to make the food more affordable.
I have a senior cairn terrier dog and she had started to dislike her food, so I was looking at other high quality dog foods that are available. I purchased this one - intrigued by the concept of special formulations for breeds. They don't have a cairn terrier breed specific one that I could find, nut senior small dog definitely also fits the bill. My dog can be picky and she enjoys this. She lost a couple of teeth in an accident a year or so ago (bottom teeth) and doesn't seem to have any issues eating this at all. She also doesn't lay in front of her bowl staring at it, hoping it will suddenly change into salmon (she gets salmon in the mornings). That's what she had started to do with her last kibble.In addition to that, I've noticed she seems to have more energy. Noticeably more. Nothing else has really changed... besides her being on her second bag of this food (I waited to write the review).
I usually buy the small bag at petsmart, but I'm pregnant and doing lots of online shopping. The 12 lb bag made me soooooo happy! The small 2.5 lb bag would last me about 2 months. I give my dog 1/4 cup morning and night. And now with this large bag, omg its gonna last me so long. So so happy I did it.Shes been on this brand of food for years. Good quality and she seems to love it. When I tell the vet what shes on, they all say good food.Also not sure why the title says cats food, its dog food, but whatever.
My 15 year old Chihuahua has congestive heart failure and Cushing's disease. After we got him on medication I took him in for a four week follow up and his kidney enzymes were off. So I was told to change his food to a type that would be good for his kidneys. I researched and researched and finally landed on this product. I would never ever have believed that a dog food could make such a difference for a dog. My Chihuahua has been on this diet for about two months. About two weeks ago I noticed that he is much more energetic and enthusiastic. He's doing little things like jumping over the door frame to get into the house rather then slowly stepping over it. He gets all waggy and happy when I'm petting him and talking nonsense to him .. whereas before he was just a little waggy. He wants to go on his walks again and he has some pep in his step. Don't get me wrong, he's still a 15 year old dog with congestive heart failure, but the difference in his energy and happiness is noticeable since we changed his diet to this product.
Before I got my dog, I was asking my friends what great dry dog food do they recommend. My friend, who's worked in Vet clinics and the like recommended me this brand Royal Canin. Royal Canin has many different nutrition profiles for all kinds of dogs. My dog was 12 years old when I adopted her and I know that senior dogs have special nutritional needs that pertain to aging. Surprisingly, I've had a difficult time finding this dog food in-person, but thanks to Amazon I was able to find this brand online.The kibbles are relatively small and, even with my dog's small amount of teeth, she is able to eat the kibble with ease and no bleeding (from gums). I mix Royal Canin with a spoon of wet food and add water. Even though she can eat dry kibble, I do like to add some water to soften it.The price is reasonable for what you get. Please do your dog a favor and buy this food! Royal Canin has a bunch of profiles for age and size of your dog. This dog food is definitely worth it.
