We’ve got a big 120 lb mastiff/chocolate lab mix lovable beast with serious allergy and skin issues and have been through thousands of dollars of vet-recommended dog food “experiments” - limited ingredient, no grain, this protein, that protein, prescription/non-prescription, homemade, cooked/raw, and so forth, sometimes things work for a while, then our poor pup’s skin flairs up again and were thrown back to zero again.About a year ago, a very experienced and reputable (obsessed?) Labrador breeder / trainer told me that she only feeds her dogs Royal Canin Labrador. So, out of desperation, we tried it. Not only did he love it, his skin irritation got under control for months.What’s kind of odd and ended up being an amazing “accidental” find is that, when his skin irritable begin flaring up again, we were low on dog food and I had tried to find anywhere with Royal Canin Labrador food nearby or with delivery and couldn’t. During a visit to a big-name pet supply chain store about 30 miles from home (was told they had it in store), one of their wonderful employees recommended that I try Royal Canin Golden Retriever “because they are both retriever breeds”. I bought it because I was running out of options, and am so glad I did. After feeding him Royal Canin Golden Retriever, his skin irritation went back down. Don’t know how or why, but it did. So now, we only feed our big beloved dog beast (with very expensive and high-maintenance allergies and skin issues) only Royal Canin Labrador, alternating between Labrador and Golden Retriever every now and again.Since switching to Royal Canin over a year ago, he’s had more playful spunk. his fur has been softer with a beautiful sheen, and he’s definitely been a happier pup with significantly less itchy, painful allergy flare ups.This is high-quality dog food by a company who clearly knows what they are doing to make dogs lives the best that they can be. It is worth every penny.
