The Royal Canin different recipes are sold in very large bags at VILLAVERDE garden store just before HyperU in Pontarlier- of course apart from the Diabetics recipe we hve to get from the vet in Houteau (near Lidl/Leclerc, they are very good). Send news if you find a mo.
When Slinky was diagnosed with diabetes, he just would not eat his Royal Canin Diabetic croquettes- and it was life or death. I got a packet of frozen fish and added a little crumbled cooked fish to the croquettes, and bingo- it saved its life. So if you are vegetarian, would you be able to handle fish perhaps? Gatsby was of course very jealous, so they both have a tine helping with their food and have wonderful glossy coats, and are very happy.
