Committed to quality and food safety

Royal Canin has 16 factories around the world, designed and dedicated to making Royal Canin products.

Every Royal Canin factory follows the same gold standard processes for raw materials, manufacturing, quality and food safety.

Because every factory follows the same processes, every product is consistent and meets the high Royal Canin quality standard, no matter what factory is it made in.

Our specialist buyers worldwide use the same selection and purchasing processes for raw materials. This makes sure all our products have the same high nutritional standards.

It is common practice for the countries that sell Royal Canin to source their products from multiple Royal Canin factories.

Royal Canin Australia sources its dry diets from the Royal Canin factories in France and South Korea, and wet diets from the Royal Canin Factory in Austria.

In 2020, Australia has introduced the Royal Canin Factory in South Korea, the newest, most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly factory in our network. Watch the video to learn more.

All 1,800 food production operators follow the same strict process to ensure consistency and quality.

During the manufacturing process, there are ten different quality controls, ensuring quality compliance with our specifications and traceability standards. In addition to this, our labs conduct around half a million analyses worldwide every year.

All our distributors have to comply with our safety and logistical standards. To ensure that's happening we regularly check out their warehousing and transport conditions.

These rigorous procedures guarantee the optimum quality, safety and nutritional value of our products.

We choose ingredients based on their high nutritional content and the health benefits they deliver to pets. So we only use meat and fish that comes from the human food chain. All efforts are made to source our raw materials from accredited suppliers close to our production centres, this supports the local economy, ensures freshness and reduces our carbon footprint.

All Royal Canin diets have a complete and balanced profile. We measure and analyse each raw material in order to maintain the most accurate nutritional composition. This important step is taken very seriously as an incomplete or unbalanced diet could affect the health of all pets.

100% of incoming raw materials are analysed, and a sample of each is kept for two years. This ensures we are able to trace every raw material all the way back to its origin, for the full duration of the product 's shelf life.

We use strict selection criteria to identify suppliers that can help us maintain our best-in-class quality and safety standards. As part of that we undertake in-depth audits to determine nutritional value, production quality, traceability and sustainability.
