Review on 17 Lb. Bag Of Royal Canin Labrador Retriever Adult Breed-Specific Dry Dog Food For Optimal Nutrition by Michael Barrett

When a 1 year old yellow lab showed up on our back porch and we couldnt find its owners, we took him in. I knew yellow labs have problems with their joints and weight, and after hearing about Royal Canin from a co-worker, we had to try it out. I did not want to see Buddy (our adopted pup) go through what my dad's yellow lab went through before passing away. We already had a black lab/brindle boxer mix who always ate the less expensive food. It was time to feed them quality product.This product is definitely quality. So much so that our cats like to eat it! The large kibbles are supposed to slow labs down when eating; however, Buddy has learned to swallow them whole! I have to feed him by hand so that our other dog gets a chance to eat her food (she actually chews her food). The first week - gas was HORRIBLE with both the pups. After the first week, it was gone. I have not noticed any difference in their coat, but I definitely noticed that they have alot of energy! It is hard to compare physical traits because we've only owned Buddy for 3 weeks now, so we had no idea how he acted before we got this food.One positive thing I have noticed with the Royal Canin is that our black lab/boxer mix no longer has bad breath! We were told the last time she went to the vet that she was getting some tarter. I knew we had to start brushing her teeth, but these big kibbles took care of the problem for us! (One less thing for us to do!)With two dogs, we seem to be going through the 30 lb bag of food in less than a month. Buddy is 87 lbs, Lana is 75 lbs. We may try the Eukanuba (sp?) next and compare. I was extremely impressed how quickly ebay got the food to us, and like others mentioned: it was nice not having to go to the store and buy their food! I ordered the food on Friday morning and it was delivered on Monday!
