Veterinarian Jean Cathary founded Royal Canin in France in 1968. Dr. Cathary had the vision of a pet food company grounded in science; a company based on the principles of acquiring knowledge about pets, maintaining respect for them at all times and, most importantly, creating advanced cat food and dog food made to satisfy the needs of the pet – not the desires of the pet owner.
he results of this vision are easy to see. Despite countless fads, based on more than 45 years of rapid scientific progress, Royal Canin remains on the cutting edge of pet nutrition, and we’ve created specialized cat and dog food diets that are unlike anything else the world has ever seen.
Our vision is completed by our daily interaction with partner professional breeders and veterinarians, and by the ongoing research of scientists at Royal Canin. This has allowed us, better than any other company, to remain at the cutting edge of innovation and to bring the best health nutrition to cats and dogs.
