In France, between 2014 and 2024, the number of dogs per capita increased by 31.8%, while the birth rate decreased by 22.6%. Sensing an opportunity, a new generation of pet food brands is blurring the lines between human and animal food and giving the global kibble giants a run for their money. But is it really worth paying 2.5 times more?!
For this video, Roy the Doberman and I tasted a plate of Royal Canin kibble, Elmut fresh pâté, and a dog meal from the Mandarin Oriental hotel. And the verdict is, let's say... surprising!
🚨 Note: Royal Canin and Purina did not respond to my filming requests. But Elmut did!
