Royal Canin Dog Food

Royal Canin is a globally recognized leader in health nutrition for cats and dogs. The brand was founded in 1968 by French veterinarian Jean Cathary, who developed a cereal-based 'yellow soup' for dogs to treat various skin conditions. This scientific approach to pet health became the cornerstone of the company’s philosophy, leading to the development of breed-specific and health-tailored formulas.

The brand has changed hands several times in its history, having been acquired by the Guyomarc'h Group in 1972 and later by BNP Paribas in 1990. In 2001, it was purchased by the American multinational Mars, Incorporated. Today, Royal Canin operates as a major subsidiary within the Mars Petcare division, benefiting from a massive global distribution network.

Manufacturing for Royal Canin is highly decentralized to ensure product freshness and localized supply. The company operates numerous production facilities across the globe, including major plants in France, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa. Each facility follows strict global quality standards to maintain the nutritional integrity of the specialized formulas designed by their veterinary researchers.
