hi i have got my bitch royal canin junior just wondering what experiences people have had with this condition of pups ect i plan to feed her this and then when weaning pups use the starter wich i am finding is very hard to get hold of in large 7kg bags or would you say arden grange was better for them as i dont want to keep changing her food as i am scared it will have bad effects on the pups and her

I used Royal Canin on my English Mastiff for seven years and all my Alaskan Malamutes until 1 month ago when i switched to BARF - just swapped  to try a natural diet.Ihad no problems with R.C and still use it as a back up feed.I used Giant baby dog then went on to use Puppy,junior and adult.Dogs did very well on it,and belonging to the breeder club had it delivered at a discount each month.

unfortunatly i cant join the breeders club as i dont have 2 or more breedeing bitches or kc numbers i am finding it extremely difficult to order the starter as no one seems to stock it any advice much appreciated

me again sorry to bug u all again already bugged brainless but still unsure
right i have put my girly onto royal canin junior she is 6wks in whelp i have found out that the starter weaning food is better for pregnant and lactating bitches than junior but i just cant find it anywhere and as i dnt have 2 or more breeding bitches or kc numbers i cnt register on their site does anyone have any idea how i can get it or should i switch to arden grange as one for pregnant bitches is much easier to get hold of just i dont want to keep switching her food incase it causes probs for my girl and babies anyway just thort i would ask on here since you are all fantastic and know everything (well almost) lol thanks in advance

Hi,
Do you know anyone who is with royal canin breeders club who could get the food for you?? My girls breeder used to get mine before i joined myself!
mel.

I could only get the junior also.  Ended up with my smallest litter ever in the breed!  Actually I think I've ended up with the smallest litter in the breed in this country to date!

Is this it?

If you have any agricultural stores/animal feed stores they should be able to order it in as well at no extra charge.

I got a 10kg bag of the starter thru my vet (£33.75), he had to order it and it took 2 days to come. The pups did well on it although Lily(bitch) didn't particulary like it, she stuck to her RC junior (think it was the pellet size of the starter that put her off).

I used to wean of RC but found the protein to high for my breed, several puppies has fast growth spurts and had to be dropped onto a lower protein food.  I only noticed the problems fro 8 weeks + - prior to that all was well.  I now wean on PP.

my boys are all on royal canin and have been since i brought them home and all do very well on it.

I use RC.....from before season arrives to 6 weeks post mating I feed the HT42D, then from 6 weeks and after whelping I feed the RC Starter, my last litter was the biggest we have had for a couple of years, not sure if it was the food or not, but my pups certainly did really well on their food.

Where can you get the HT42D from? iv been searching every where.

I buy it direct from RC

I had a look on there site but couldnt find it, could you possibly post the link for me please?

I don't order it online, I ring them and order it that way.

Ok thats brill thank you il give them a call :-)
