About Our Veterinary Diets

About Our Veterinary Diets

When veterinarian Jean Cathary founded Royal Canin in 1967, his focus was on developing preventative and therapeutic nutrition for cats and dogs.  From that day forward, we’ve developed our veterinary-exclusive therapeutic and wellness diets with this approach: Nutrition for better health. Nutrition can help the pet’s body recover faster, stay healthy longer and even help defend against health issues. Every ROYAL CANIN® veterinary formula gives priority to the pet, focusing on nutrients that help promote wellness, minimize clinical symptoms or promote recovery.

Veterinary-Exclusive Therapeutic Diets

Nutrition can be an important component in maintaining and even improving the health of your pet, but only a veterinarian can determine what role food can play if your pet is sick. Royal Canin has formulated a range of therapeutic diets that may be prescribed by your veterinarian in certain situations.  We urge you to ask your veterinarian about the role that nutrition can play in the management of illness and to ask if a Royal Canin diet is the right choice for your dog or cat.

You need the expert advice of your veterinarian before making any food changes or diagnosis. That’s why all ROYAL CANIN Veterinary Diets® are recommended and sold only by veterinarians.  Click here to see all our veterinary products.

Veterinary-Exclusive Wellness Diets 

ROYAL CANIN® Veterinary Care Nutrition, one of our most recent innovations, allows you to work closely with your veterinarian to determine the best wellness diet for your cat or dog. It's a complete line of veterinary-exclusive wellness diets that provide complete and balanced nutrition for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes and specific needs.

Our Veterinary Care Nutrition formulas are made to address a wide range of factors that help maintain the health of your pet.  These include:  Growth and Development, Proper Digestion, Skin and Coat, Dental Health and Optimal Weight.
