Royal Canin is a French premium pet food company founded in 1968 by veterinarian Jean Cathary in the south of France. Cathary created the brand after observing that many skin conditions in dogs were linked to poor nutrition, developing precise nutritional formulas to address specific health needs. Now a subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated, Royal Canin has become one of the world's most respected and scientifically driven pet nutrition companies. The brand is distinguished by its breed-specific and health-specific approach to pet nutrition, offering hundreds of tailored formulas for different dog and cat breeds, sizes, ages, and health conditions. Royal Canin's product range includes Breed Health Nutrition (with formulas designed for over 60 specific dog breeds), Size Health Nutrition, Feline Health Nutrition, and Veterinary Diet, a therapeutic range available only through veterinary clinics. The company collaborates extensively with veterinarians, breeders, and pet professionals worldwide, positioning itself as a science-first brand. Royal Canin operates research centers and manufacturing facilities across multiple continents and employs a global team of veterinarians and nutritionists. The brand's precise, tailored nutrition philosophy has earned it a loyal following among breeders and veterinary professionals. Royal Canin products are sold in over 100 countries through veterinary clinics, specialty pet retailers, and authorized online channels.
