Royal Canin is the most trusted pet food brand in Egypt, which also makes it a target for repacked, badly stored or imitation bags. Here is how to make sure the Royal Canin you buy is original and fresh.

1. Buy sealed bags, never loose food

Original Royal Canin comes in a sealed, branded bag. Food sold loose by weight, or in plain bags, can be old, mixed with other food, or not Royal Canin at all, and you cannot check its expiry date.

2. Check the bag itself

• The print is sharp and the colours are clean, with no spelling mistakes.
• The seal at the top and bottom is intact, with no signs of opening or re-gluing.
• The batch number and expiry date are printed clearly on the bag.
• There are no holes, tears, moisture marks or a strange smell.

3. Check the expiry date and storage

Dry food stored in heat and sun loses quality, which matters in the Egyptian summer. Buy from a shop that keeps bags indoors and away from direct sun, and check that the expiry date leaves enough time to finish the bag.

4. Be careful with prices that are too low

Royal Canin has an official consumer price. A price far below it can mean an expired bag, a repacked product or an imitation. At Pet Shop we sell Royal Canin at the official consumer price, original and sealed.

5. Choose the right formula

An original bag only helps if it is the right food. Read our guides Royal Canin for cats and Royal Canin for dogs by size, and use Veterinary Diet formulas only on your vet’s advice.
