Royal Canin Declares May 8 National Pet Wellness Day with Launch of New Supplements and Probiotics Line

The new product portfolio is clinically proven to support the overall health of cats and dogs, making them the ideal addition to Royal Canin's nutritionally balanced diets

ST. CHARLES, Mo., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ROYAL CANIN^® U.S., a global leader in pet health nutrition and one of the billion-dollar brands of Mars, Incorporated, took its more than 55 years of pet nutrition expertise to expand its offerings and create a supplements and probiotics line that empowers pet owners to further individualize their pet's health. To celebrate the launch of this new product line and underscore the importance of tailored health based on each pets' unique needs, Royal Canin is declaring May 8 as National Pet Wellness Day.

Royal Canin has always prioritized pets when it comes to developing their science-led solutions, and this new product line holds true to that philosophy. The supplements and probiotics are formulated with proven ingredients supported by scientific studies for optimal efficacy, making them the ideal addition to Royal Canin's already nutritionally balanced diets. The probiotic powders for cats and dogs were specifically designed to promote a strong immune system and digestive health, and the soft chew supplements for puppies and dogs were developed to target the most common sensitivities such as joint, digestion, and skin and coat.
