About Royal Canin – Legacy of Veterinary Excellence
Royal Canin began in 1968, founded by French veterinarian Dr. Jean Cathary, who recognized the critical role of nutrition in veterinary care. What started as a specialized diet for pets with skin and digestive sensitivities has evolved into a global leader in precision pet nutrition.
In 2001, Royal Canin was acquired by Mars, Incorporated, one of the world’s largest privately held companies. As part of the Mars Petcare division, Royal Canin benefits from vast research infrastructure and global distribution networks — including partnerships with Banfield, VCA, Pedigree, and Whiskas.
The brand’s formulations are rooted in veterinary science, not marketing trends. Every diet is developed in collaboration with nutritionists, veterinarians, and academic institutions.
Royal Canin ensures consistent quality, safety, and traceability with state-of-the-art manufacturing across Europe, the U.S., and Asia.
Its mission “To make a better world for pets” drives every innovation, from breed-specific kibble to therapeutic veterinary diets. Trusted by professionals and pet parents, Royal Canin remains the benchmark for tailored, evidence-based nutrition.
Why Do Vets Recommend Royal Canin?
Veterinarians recommend Royal Canin because it delivers scientifically developed dog food that addresses both preventive and therapeutic needs. Each formula is precisely engineered to support dogs and cats diagnosed with specific health conditions — not just general wellness.
- Clinically Validated Nutrition: Royal Canin collaborates with veterinary nutritionists and clinical researchers to develop diets tailored to pets suffering from urinary disorders, renal insufficiency, or gastrointestinal diseases — among others.
- Veterinary-Prescribed Diets for Chronic Illnesses: Its veterinary-exclusive line includes condition-specific solutions like Urinary SO, Renal Support, Gastrointestinal Low Fat, Hypoallergenic, and Hepatic formulas. These are often prescribed as part of a long-term care plan.
- Precision-Formulated for Therapeutic Support: Each veterinary diet is calibrated to deliver the exact balance of proteins, phosphorus, fiber, electrolytes, and prebiotics needed to manage clinical symptoms and prevent recurrence.
- Trusted Across Global Veterinary Networks: Royal Canin is recommended by vets worldwide and integrated into the Mars Petcare ecosystem, which includes VCA Hospitals, Banfield Pet Clinics, and BluePearl Specialty Care.
- Palatability and Digestive Assurance: Formulas are not only effective — they’re also tested for taste, tolerance, and consistency, ensuring better compliance from pets under medical nutrition protocols.
For pets with diagnosed conditions, Royal Canin provides therapeutic-grade nutrition trusted by the global veterinary community.
How Royal Canin Delivers Tailored Nutrition?
Royal Canin’s nutritional philosophy is built around biological relevance and scientific precision. Every product is developed with the understanding that optimal pet health depends on targeted, not generalized, nourishment.
What makes Royal Canin distinctive isn’t just what it offers, but how it formulates:
- Deep Research Before Development: Each formula begins with a biological need or clinical observation — not market trends. Their global R&D teams work alongside veterinarians to define the exact nutrient profile needed for that case.
- Precision Over Ingredients: Unlike marketing-driven brands, Royal Canin doesn’t promote ingredient trends. Instead, it balances macronutrient ratios, micronutrient levels, and digestibility to ensure that every component serves a physiological function.
- Customized Nutrient Delivery Systems: Kibble size, shape, density, and texture are engineered for different pet anatomies and chewing behaviors — optimizing how nutrients are absorbed and how pets engage with their food.
- Continuous Validation & Clinical Testing: Royal Canin conducts ongoing feeding trials, palatability assessments, and digestibility studies to validate the effectiveness of its formulas in real-world conditions.
Through this process, Royal Canin achieves what few brands do: a replicable model of nutritional precision that scales across breeds, life stages, and clinical conditions — without sacrificing consistency or safety.
