Do different breeds require different foods?

Most of us think pet food is a one size fits all product, but each breed truly has their own unique set of needs. Royal Canin®, a global leader pet food leader, understands this. Through extensive research, they’ve created a complete line of premium food specifically formulated for cats and dogs—large or small, young or old, purebred or mixed breed. Developed in 1968 by a veterinarian, Royal Canin loves and respects pets and the people who are blessed to care for them. After more than 40 years, they remain on the cutting edge of pet nutrition. Instead of adopting the latest trend, they are focused on their vision of specific pet health. At all times and in all ways, pets are at the center of everything they do.

As someone who wants only the best for my Fur Babies, I love the concept of breed tailored food. To find out more, Charlie and I took a trip to our local PetSmart® to investigate further.

As you can see from this picture, the display was huge!

Pretty much every breed you can think of was available, including the special Chihuahua food I was seeking. The bag is so big, it’s more than twice Charlie’s size. 

The food is loaded with top notch ingredients and beneficial antioxidants, and it’s formulated for the finicky appetite most Chihuahuas have. The small sized pieces are perfect for little mouths/teeth and the texture produces a brushing effect when chewed while the formula helps reduce the formation of plaque to ensure a clean, healthy mouth. (Since Charlie is still recovering from major dental surgery, this is vital!)

It makes a lot of sense to me that each breeds and size requires a slightly different formula. By choosing this food over a generic one, I can ensure that Charlie will get the best food to meet his needs.

#RoyalCanin + PetSmart = A very happy Chihuahua!
