Ingredient Review
Our review of Royal Canin Large Puppy Wet Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Water Sufficient. In pet food, the term water sufficient typically refers to the amount of water that is needed to process the rest of the ingredients.
The second ingredient is Pork By-Products. Pork by-products are the remnants of a swine that has been processed. The term usually refers to parts that aren’t used for human consumption, i.e. kidneys, livers, lungs, intestines, and other tissues. In pet food, pork by-products can be a source of protein and other nutrients.
The third ingredient is Chicken. Chicken is meat from the domesticated bird of the same name. In pet food, chicken is used as a primary protein source.
The fourth ingredient is Chicken By-Products. The chicken by-products in pet food are defined as dry, ground, parts of the chicken carcass that have been rendered clean. Most pet food companies use chicken by-products such as liver, kidney, heart, and gizzard, which are sources of protein and other nutrients. Some do include chicken by-products like feathers, bones, and beaks, all ground up and unidentifiable.
The fifth ingredient is Wheat Gluten. Wheat gluten is a good source of digestible protein. In pet food, wheat gluten is used as a binding agent and texturizer as well as a protein source.

Nutritional Analysis
Like puppies of any breed, large breed puppies require extra calories to support growth and development. However, large breed puppies grow more slowly and are at an increased risk of developing bone deformities. That’s why puppy formulas for large breed dogs should have an optimal ratio of calcium to phosphorus. This helps to ensure appropriate large bone growth rate over the typically extended period of growth time for these big dogs and mitigates against bone deformities.
