#64 Royal Canin is now making fresh food... here are my thoughts

Royal Canin has recently entered the gently cooked space with its new Fresh Health Nutrition line for puppies, adults, and senior dogs.

In this episode, I break down what I think this shift means for veterinary nutrition, what I like about the move toward less processed food, and where I still have questions.

We discuss:

Why I see a major veterinary brand embracing gently cooked food as a positive shift
Why having separate Puppy, Adult, and Senior formulas matters
Why brown rice being the first ingredient in the Adult and Senior formulas caught my attention
Why “fresh” does not automatically mean low carbohydrate
Why I want more transparency
Why the source of “fish oil” matters

My biggest takeaway?

Royal Canin moving into gently cooked food is progress—and I think we should welcome that progress while continuing to ask thoughtful questions.

Fresh is a processing description. It isn't automatically a nutritional assessment.

Always work with your veterinarian or veterinary nutrition professional to determine the most appropriate diet for your individual pet.
