Royal Canin pet food

Royal Canin is a global leader in health nutrition for cats and dogs, established in 1968 by French veterinarian Dr. Jean Cathary. Dr. Cathary originally developed a 'yellow soup' in his garage in Aimargues, France, to treat skin and coat conditions in dogs, leading to the birth of the brand.

Today, the brand operates as a key subsidiary of the American multinational Mars, Incorporated, following its acquisition in 2002. Under Mars' ownership, Royal Canin has expanded its scientific approach to pet health, focusing on breed-specific and therapeutic diets. Its manufacturing network is extensive and global, with production facilities in France, the United States (including a massive state-of-the-art site in Ohio), Canada, Brazil, Russia, Poland, China, and South Korea, among others. Each facility adheres to standardized nutritional profiles to ensure consistent quality across different geographical markets.
