Royal Canin Dachshund breed dog food is the way to go for your Doxie! We have our soon to be 10 year old who we’ve been feeding Royal Canin since we got her at 3 months old. She thrives for this stuff and always excited to hear that bag open and when we ask her “You hungry?” Every time we go in for check-up’s at the Vet, they always ask what we feed her because she’s lean about 9 lbs, good muscular strength, bones, and teeth, even at almost 10. We tell them Royal Canin since she was a pup, which they say that’s got to be it, plus we take great care of her teeth with brushing them about 2-3 times per week, and carry her as much as we can avoiding steps or anything. She still acts like a puppy to this day, even age won’t stop her from having fun. To anyone wondering what to feed their dachshund, I strongly recommend Royal Canin. Is it pricey? In my opinion no. For what you’re feeding them with the small amount each day, and how long the 10 lb bag can last, it’s basically cents per day!! Think of all the other things you spend money on in a day or week on material things… I think your little one is worth the price of their health, wellness, and care! Right? Enjoy my friends and take care of your fur babies!

I have purchased this product for my poochies for 14 years. They love it. Seems to have caused no ill problems and they always go straight to the bowel of biscuits throughout the day whenever I add it to their bowel!

My sausages love this food. I see them fatter, their stools are firm and it is a semi-premium brand at a very good cost. I always wait for it to go on sale at $650 of the $900 it normally costs. It lasts three weeks for two experts. Just remember to always give them the indicated amounts and take them out for a run.

A while ago I was looking for reviews about this food, and I was encouraged to buy it from my mini dachshund dog. I must say that it was a great choice, did not arrive the expired packaging, my dog had a problem of eczema for another type of food he consumed and with this new he greatly improved his condition… His ears are 10.

Thanks Amazon MX, I have avoided the burden of the bulges of the beloved sausage of this home, everything is very well but when I want to buy more lumps says that there is no longer existence, I want to buy more, the food is vital for your health and your spine.

Good product at competitive price. This brand tries to balance diets according to race and activity or age. My comment is regarding the delivery logistics, it takes a long time to arrive the last order. Petco can be a good choice.

MY DOG LIKES THESE CROQUETTES AND EATS THEM VERY WELL, I FEEL THAT THEY ARE A LITTLE EXPENSIVE BUT THEY ARE WORTH IT. THEY HELP HIM MAINTAIN HIS WEIGHT EVEN THOUGH HE’S ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE CHUBBY!

Our vet recommended this food for our 1 year old girl because they discovered she has a liver shunt. Because her liver has trouble processing certain protein and creates toxins in her body, the other food she was on was 20 percent protein and slowly killing her liver (little did we know). Once we switched to this food, our baby girl lost a healthy amount of weight, gained muscle tone, and her energy came back tenfold. Her appetite also became very healthy and we realized the “picky” eating she was having before was due to her liver shunt and the other foods she was ingesting. Basically, this food saved our baby’s life and she is the healthiest and happiest she’s ever been. It’s no wonder it’s a vet recommended brand!

My dog seems to like Royal Canin. I personally can’t attest to its taste!

Oh man oh man. I’ve been battling my chiweenie, Bingo, ever since we got him at 11 weeks old over not eating his dog food. I cannot tell you ow many dry dog foods I’ve tried with him. I can’t even remember all the names, but I went to dogfoodadvisor.com and made sure I was buying at least 4-star-rated dog foods. He went through three different puppy chows he wouldn’t eat, then when he hit a year old I started him on adult food. At least six different kinds of dry and two canned foods. Wellness, Merrick, a few others. I’ve tried him on cheap and expensive, limited ingredient formulations of all kinds, and most recently several kinds of Natural Balance I got as freebies to review.
All Bingo would ever eat is his Zuke’s or his bully sticks or people food from the table or plastic. (He’s big on plastic, and despite our best efforts, he’ll find a way to find plastic and chew it up. Hopefully he has not swallowed any, but we just don’t know. It’s amazing he hasn’t wound up in surgery like that 43-sock-eating dog did.)
Anyway, I gave away the almost full bags and ordered this. When it came, I put a quarter cup in his bowl, really not expecting much would happen. I came back about ten minutes later and it was ALL GONE! So I gave him another quarter cup, and he ate all of that, too. I’m knocked out. At his weight he needs to eat about 3/4 cup of the dog food each day, so I’m giving him a quarter cup in the morning when we have our coffee, at lunch when we’re eating lunch, and again at dinner when we’re eating dinner. It’s playing into his ritualistic behavior and also cutting down on the table scraps we’ve had to give him to keep him from starving himself. (He could always hold out much longer than we could. Two days, three days, begging the whole time.)
Needless to say, I’m thrilled with this dog food. I sure do hope this miracle lasts!

Our Dog goes nuts for this food, gave it 5 stars for flavor just because she would’ve wanted me to.

Lotti loves this and her energy level has greatly improved versus her previous food.
A little pricey but we feel it’s the best on the market.

Our doxies love this food but what the fart is up with prices?! We used to pay $50 for this exact food on Amazon 🙁 Our pup started off with royal canin puppy food and just switched over to adult food to match his sister. We’ve tried other dog food with our adult girl, and she didn’t react well to them. This is the only food we will feed them.
