Aslı Celikkol, the Country Manager of Royal Canin Turkiye, shares her perspective on why Royal Canin is a trusted name among veterinarians, the company’s role in advancing pet nutrition, and the importance of participating in key scientific events such as the KLIVET Congress.
In this exclusive conversation with The Animal Economics, she highlights Royal Canin’s science-driven mission and its commitment to both veterinary professionals and pet owners.
What are the key reasons behind the high preference for Royal Canin products among veterinarians in Turkiye?
At Royal Canin, we truly believe that our vision of creating a better world for pets — and our science-based approach to nutrition — represent trust not only for veterinarians in Turkiye, but for those all around the world.
We share the same priorities with veterinarians: science, precision, and a deep commitment to animal health. Our formulas are the result of extensive scientific research and close collaboration between veterinarians and nutrition experts. This ensures our diets are aligned with clinical treatment protocols and provide reliable nutritional support for a wide range of health issues—from kidney disease and digestive problems to obesity and more.
Another key factor is consistency and high standards. When veterinarians recommend Royal Canin, they know they are offering the same quality, the same formulation, and the same nutritional performance every time. This reliability is crucial for veterinarians who rely on stable, predictable results for their patients. Royal Canin’s commitment to strict quality control ensures that every batch of food meets the same rigorous standards, regardless of where it’s produced. By maintaining this consistency, we build trust with both veterinary professionals and pet owners, which is essential for the long-term success of our products.
But the support we offer goes far beyond the product itself. We support veterinary professionals through ongoing education, training programs, webinars, and tailored clinic support. We also help strengthen communication between vets and pet owners with tools like nutritional consultations and informative materials.
We see our role as more than a supplier, as we’re helping them deliver better outcomes through science-based services and nutrition.
What role does Royal Canin play in promoting healthy nutrition for cats and dogs?
Nutrition is one of the most important aspects, we have to support for health — not just in treatment, but also in prevention. At Royal Canin, we go beyond basic factors like age and breed. We create tailored formulas based on specific sensitivities and health conditions.
Veterinarians play a key role in shaping the health of cats and dogs, but there’s another group that holds great responsibility: pet owners. That’s why we also put a strong emphasis on education and awareness for them. Through campaigns, digital platforms, and partnerships with veterinary clinics and pet shops, we help raise awareness about proper nutrition, preventive care, and the importance of regular vet check-ups.
At the same time, we continue to invest in science and innovation. We constantly study the impact of nutrition on health, recovery, and longevity. These insights help us stay ahead and develop products that truly make a difference in everyday veterinary practice.
And ultimately, with everything we do—from our product portfolio to our health services—we aim to support veterinarians in their vital work.
Why is it important for Royal Canin to take part in the KLIVET Congress?
KLIVET is one of the most respected veterinary congresses in Turkiye, and being present at such a platform is extremely valuable for Royal Canin. It’s a unique space where science, practice, and education come together. For us, it’s an opportunity to engage directly with the professionals we work alongside every day.
Attending allows us to share the clinical value of our nutritional solutions and the science behind them. But more importantly, it allows us to listen. We gather feedback, better understand evolving needs, and strengthen our connection with the veterinary community.
It’s also an opportunity to support the next generation — students, young vets, academics — and to contribute to the future of veterinary medicine in Turkiye.
Through our presence at KLIVET, we’re not just showcasing who we are as a brand — we’re reinforcing our commitment to supporting veterinarians, advancing science, and improving the lives of cats and dogs, together.
All these efforts are a strong reflection of the fact that Royal Canin is not just a pet food brand—but a committed partner in advancing animal health, supporting pet owners and veterinary professionals alike. That’s why building strong communication with the veterinary community and with pet owners is so important to us. Being present at scientific platforms like KLIVET is a natural extension of this approach—especially in how we support and collaborate with veterinarians.
Aslı Celikkol’s insights underscore Royal Canin’s leadership in veterinary nutrition and its unwavering dedication to animal health through science, partnership, and innovation. Whether through consistent product quality, education, or scientific collaboration, Royal Canin continues to be a trusted ally for veterinarians in Turkiye and beyond.
