This Diabetic dog food is the cheapest I have found online or in store. The customer service is outstanding. The communication is excellent. There delivery service is exceptional, they are the only one with a Saturday delivery. My dog loves this food. He has been doing exceptionally well on this food. There is only 2 brands that make a specific food for diabetic animals. This is the one that our dog loves, even our other dog love it too. If you have a diabetic dog, I highly recommend this product and I highly recommend this company, for delivery and customer service. Thank you so much for looking after me & Scooter.

Bella was on WD food and did not fancy the biscuits much. Would spit them out or play with them. The new diet I am trying for her special needs is awesome and she loves the biscuits. Great fine. Thanks Royal Canin and Pet.co.nz.
