Customer review: "We have fed successive Labrador pups on this food. They've grown really well, they shouldn't get overweight as pups on this food (unless you overfeed them) their coats have always been soft and shiny and they've had no tummy problems. From eight weeks, we started to introduce this food slowly, a small amount at a time until they were having all dry food and no more soft food and milk. We soaked it for a few minutes at first but I don't really think there's any need to. We went by the guidelines for quantity on the Royal Canin website. At three months, our current pup is having 300g a day, three meals of 100g. We put a bit of warm water with it to make a gravy and plenty of fresh drinking water available all the time."

Customer review: "My Lab Retriever loves these. We always give him a little bit of something for his breakfast as softies that we are it always seems rotten to just give him one meal a day. We make sure we adjust the evening meal accordingly so he doesn't eat too much – he's part Labrador – he doesn't think there is any such thing as too much – and he seems to really enjoy these. He can hardly wait for it to come out of the pouch but then that's Labs for you."
