My Two Rottweiler Boys Love This Stuff
I've fed my Rottweiler boys Tsar and Titan on Royal Canin for most of their lives. Form 7 - 12 weeks they were on a cheaper dog food (mainly because it was BOGOF at local pet store). During this time their bowel movements were never solid and generally smelt quite bad, they were also very hyperactive and often turned their noses up at the food. After much research I decided Royal Canin was the brand for me. I still had a tough decision on whether to go for maxi or giant breed size as the average adult weight for a Rottie boarded on either side of the manufactures guidelines. I eventually based my decision on their dad’s size and went for Giant which I’m glad I did. Before moving to Junior at the age of 9 months they were fed on the Royal Canin Giant Puppy for which I would say the same about as Junior. They and I seem a lot happier since they have been on this stuff they eat every kibble (or should I swallow) to the point they lick the bowl spotless for minutes after it is empty much to my annoyance as the noise is very loud. :) The size of the kibble was also important to me in the decision for this food, being a large breed and know for suffering from bloat my two conform and generally immediately swallow anything they are given rather than chew. This kibble allowed these two to at least chew the majority of their food, which I’m sure helps with their digestion as well as cleaning their teeth (as I always feed it them dry). Their bowel movements have always been firm and regular, as well as smelling less in my opinion since being on Royal Canin. They seem less hyperactive and boisterous as well as having a thick glossy coat, sparkling teeth and eyes. They are fit, healthy and lean (to the point you can just make out their ribs by just looking at them), weighing in at 48KGs and 49 KGs at a year old now they have shown no signs of joint or hip problems that’s this large rapid growing breed are notorious for. I also commend Zooplus for their service, quick/ free delivery and costs. I have not been able to find this cheaper anywhere else which is especially handy to me when they go through 3 bags of this stuff a month between them. With a fair amount of growing to do I can assure you I will be happily feeding this brand to my two for the rest of their lives and shopping at Zooplus for the foreseeable future.
