Royal Canin
 PROFILE
For prudent pooches or prissy pussycats, there is Royal Canin. Founded in 1968 by a veterinarian, the French pet food company focuses primarily on high-nutrition dry food products for the upscale market. Its dietary products are developed for dogs and cats according to their size, age, and activity level. The company also makes regular-priced kibble and special products for animals with specific conditions such as obesity or depression. Europe's leading dog and cat food provider, Royal Canin's products are sold in over 80 countries; Europe accounts for about 80% of sales. French bank BNP Paribas Group is selling its 56.4% stake in Royal Canin to US candy giant Mars.
