PROS
Very impressed with the product. Difficult to get a Havanese and Maltese to eat dried dog food, but both will from their first bite. They love the taste , smell and small bites that are easy to chew and swallow. Our female Maltese is very picky about anything she eats, but the hard food is better for her few remaining teeth (5). When I read the ingredients, it is not as high a quality as one would expect, but then the higher quality dry competitors' food just sat untouched in their bowls. This food is actually liked and eaten, and appears to be good for their health.
CON
I didn't take off any stars for the price, but must address that point of contention. I have have been buying this food online for quite a few years, but there is a big change ... the price has doubled, tripled and even quadrupled during the pandemic. It continues to be way overpriced. I could no longer afford it when I could find it and the dogs are the ones that suffer. I finally located a few bags online at fairly normal prices ($12 for a small bag) that will last a few months, but then what do I do??? Price gouging is going on constantly even when products are available. I will probably switch products again as it is difficult on my pets when the Royal Canine Senior is not available, and the price is definitely a determent as well.
