Expert Review
royal canin veterinary neutered adult small dog is a dry complete diet from royal canin. one of the world's largest pet food manufacturers, owned by mars petcare. known for breed-specific and life-stage formulations. as with all small breed formulas, the recipe has been adapted to meet the higher energy density requirements of smaller dogs.
this is a poor food and the ingredient analysis backs this up. relies heavily on corn, wheat and rice as primary carbohydrate sources, and uses unspecified protein derivatives which make it difficult to assess true meat quality. the heavy reliance on cereals and unspecified protein derivatives means that the nutritional value per portion is significantly lower than premium alternatives.
we would not recommend this food. the combination of low-quality protein sources, high cereal content and artificial additives falls well short of what we consider acceptable for a complete dog food. owners are strongly encouraged to consider alternative options that offer significantly better nutritional value.
