Royal Canin is science-led and developed in collaboration with veterinarians and pet nutritionists. It was founded by a veterinarian in 1968, and over 50 years of research support its recipes. The company’s philosophy is knowledge-based: each formula is created through rigorous study of pet health and nutritional needs, resulting in balanced and palatable pet foods.

Each recipe is also carefully put together (often breed- or condition-specific) rather than one-size-fits-all. In adopting continuous innovation, partnering with field experts and relying on solid research, Royal Canin aims to deliver precisely the right nutrition.

Yes. The company develops food options for a variety of breeds, sizes and life stages. They have Royal Canin breed-specific diets, such as for Siamese cats or Maine Coons, and for dogs like Pugs, Yorkshire Terriers and Rottweilers, as well as age-based options from Royal Canin adult dog formulas (1–7 years) to Royal Canin kitten food (0–1 year) and everything in between.

Along with general breed and age lines, the brand creates recipes for particular health needs. For instance, there’s the Royal Canin hairball control range, Hairball Care, for reducing excess hair ingestion in cats, and the Royal Canin hypoallergenic line, Hydrolysed, for pets with food sensitivities or allergies, as well as other veterinary diets.

Royal Canin pet food is widely available in the UAE. Pet’s Delight carries a comprehensive range of the brand’s products. Stop by our stores for Royal Canin in Dubai and Abu Dhabi if you prefer to shop in person, or buy Royal Canin online and have it delivered to your door anywhere in the UAE.

Yes, they do. In addition to standard formulas, the brand creates special diets for many health issues. For example, they have Royal Canin Urinary Care and Dental Care diets for bladder health and oral hygiene. There are also options for weight control, allergies, pregnancy and other conditions.

These veterinary-style diets are formulated with specific nutrient profiles (like higher fibre, certain minerals, etc.) to support those conditions. Each product is backed by extensive research so that pets with health needs can still eat a balanced, targeted diet.

Generally, yes. Royal Canin’s development process involves leading veterinarians, nutritionists and scientists. The brand’s commitment to evidence-based nutrition makes it a popular recommendation among vets. Many veterinary clinics also carry Royal Canin because the formulas are designed according to medical insights.

In short, Royal Canin is known as a vet-friendly brand. Its recipes are highly vetted (no pun intended) by experts and aim to support pets’ health, so vets often trust and recommend them to pet parents.

Yes. The brand offers a full range of Royal Canin dry food and wet meal choices. They make dry kibbles for cats and dogs as well as complementary wet pouches (or cans) in many lines. For instance, you can find dry kibble for a “Royal Canin Indoor Cat” and a matching wet formula, or a Royal Canin for puppies dry kibble and wet pouches.

This means you can choose to feed your pet dry food alone, wet food alone, or a mix. The different formats still deliver the same balanced nutrition; the choice depends on your pet’s preference and your feeding style.

Royal Canin prioritises pets, people and the planet. They’re working towards 100% renewable energy in all factories and offices by 2040. They also team up with farmers to source climate-smart ingredients, focus on regenerative agriculture and support efforts in preventing deforestation—all while making sure every recipe is as good for the environment as it is for pets.

Ingredients are chosen for their nutritional value and health benefits, and the brand sources from accredited suppliers close to its production sites. This keeps ingredients fresh, supports local communities and lowers their carbon footprint. Every product goes through strict quality checks, so pet parents can feel confident about what’s in the bowl.

They’re also tackling waste by improving recyclability, compostability and reusable packaging, as well as cutting down on packaging materials.

Start by looking at your pet’s specific profile. Royal Canin’s labels indicate the target (breed, size, age and condition). If you have a veterinarian, their advice is also valuable. You can also use resources like the Pet’s Delight filters and select your pet’s breed, size, life stage and any health issues to narrow your options down to the appropriate Royal Canin formula.

For example, with a German Shepherd puppy, you might already know they’re a large, active breed prone to joint strain. That makes a puppy- and breed-specific Royal Canin dog food for German Shepherds a natural fit. As they grow, moving to Royal Canin for large dogs keeps their joints, muscles and energy levels supported in line with their size and activity.

If you’re still unsure, you can always ask Pet’s Delight’s knowledgeable staff to recommend the best Royal Canin recipe for your pet’s needs.

Yes. Royal Canin makes formulas specifically for finicky pets. The Exigent line, for instance, is targeted at fussy eaters – it comes in different flavours and textures to entice very picky dogs or cats. Even outside that line, Royal Canin emphasises taste and smell (so they use fresh ingredients) to appeal to choosy animals.

Additionally, they offer indoor cat recipes with optimised textures, mousse forms for seniors, etc., all aiming to satisfy pets with particular preferences. So if your cat turns its nose up, try one of these special Royal Canin recipes known to please discerning appetites.
