Review on Optimal Canine Health Nutrition Puppy Loaf in Sauce by Royal Canin by Jennifer Mitchell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Expensive but convenient for us. Only use until puppy is 1.

I bought this for my puppy because he always leaves his kibble and my older dog eats it. The puppy then eats adult dog food. The pup is starting to look skinny so I want to make sure he is getting the right nutrients. The good news is that he loves this food (but on the flip side, he loves almost all canned food). I mix it with some grains and warm water and it soaks it up. It's a lot more convenient than waiting forever for him to eat his piece. He is 9 pounds at 10 months and I feed him 2 trays + 1 tablespoon of food per day. So more than the instructions say. But when I did the math, that's the number of calories it should have. I'm trying to give him weight so I'll see how he handles that crowd. On the rare occasions when he doesn't seem interested in food, I throw in some Stella and Chewie's magic food dust and it works. The bad news is that this meal is quite expensive. I will alternate between this and wet puppy food on a scientific diet until he becomes one of them. I give my other dog eggs, sardines, meat etc along with her bits and it's a lot cheaper than that. I already buy premium granules and occasionally use Stella and Chewie's Magic Dinner Dust on my other dog because she's picky. So I spend good money. When my pup is older, I buy him a cheaper wet mix food if I find it necessary. Maybe Caesar. He also gets the same human food as my other dog. Update: some of the trays on the back were damaged. I would say at least 6 subjects. I couldn't feed them to my dog because they were open. I threw them away. I don't even think I can get a refund as I will not return damaged trays. I fed the rest, but I won't buy it again. I'm unhappy because I spent a lot of money on this premium food.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
