Performance notes
Adding shrimp alongside fish oil is a bit less common than a straight fish oil formula, and Royal Canin ties both to the skin, coat, and heart health claims on this label. The loaf in sauce texture and small can size are built around the portion needs of a small breed like the Shih Tzu.
What buyers say
This is the highest-rated product in this batch, with 240 reviews averaging 4.8 stars and about 2,000 cases bought in the past month, suggesting Shih Tzu owners are especially satisfied with how this formula performs.
Yes, shrimp is listed as a special ingredient alongside fish oil, so it's not appropriate for dogs with a shellfish or fish allergy.
Is this formulated for a specific breed?
Yes, Royal Canin builds this Breed Health Nutrition recipe specifically for adult Shih Tzus, sized as a small breed formula.
Does this support heart health?
Royal Canin lists heart health as one of the benefits alongside skin and coat support, though this is a general dietary claim, not a treatment for a diagnosed heart condition. Talk to your vet about your dog's specific heart health needs.
