Dogs have been "man's best friend" for millenia. Knowing and respecting your dog's behavioural and nutritional requirements will ensure its wellbeing and health.

Cats are fascinating creatures, bringing their own brand of love and peace to a household. Knowing and respecting your cat's behavioural and nutritional requirements will greatly help its wellbeing and health.

One value that defines our innovation: The dog and cat comes first. For over 40 years, Royal Canin has worked with breeder partners and veterinary nutritionists to go ever further into innovation and precision to enable us to formulate nutritional solutions which perfectly meet dogs and cats’ real needs.

About Royal Canin

Who we are

Who we are

The animal comes first

At Royal Canin, everything we do is for the dog and the cat. We don’t do consumer surveys or market research. Instead, our innovations are based solely on the animals' needs and scientific advances.

Focus on Health Nutrition

Royal Canin diets provide precise nutritional solutions to your pet’s needs. Each of our products is based on our extensive knowledge of cats and dogs, gained through years of studies at our own centre, partnerships with leading veterinary schools and universities, and continued input from veterinarians and breeders worldwide. We’re constantly expanding and improving on this knowledge in order to keep providing your pet with food that meets their exact dietaryrequirements.

Where we lead, others follow

One food doesn’t suit all. We take into account age, activity, breed, size and lifestyle when creating our diets, and we were the first to do so. In 1980 we were the first to introduce specific diets for large breed puppies, in 1997 we were the first to meet the different nutritional needs of small, medium and large breeds of dog, and in 1999 we launched the first food for a specific breed of cat, formulated for the unique dietary needs of Persians. Today, we continue to innovate, and you'll find the latest releases from Royal Canin in our news section.

Specialised distribution

Our food is only available from vets and specialist pet retailers. This way, you can be sure that you are getting the right advice and exactly the right diet for your cat or dog.
