Getting to know your Ragdoll
Ragdolls are mostly a loyal breed, known to relax like a doll in the arms of anyone who holds them.
One of the biggest domestic breeds, they are well-mannered, playful and are able to learn quickly. Their big, square mouths can swallow normal kibble whole, which is why we have designed a special, larger kibble shape that encourages them to chew.
