Small dogs have a longer life span than most larger dogs, which means they have unique nutritional needs. They have smaller bone structures and little jaws—not to mention they can be pretty picky when it comes to the food they eat, especially as they age.
Royal Canin Small Adult 8+ dry dog food (formerly Mini Mature 8+) is tailored to support your small dog’s unique traits as they age into mature adulthood. It’s formulated to help small dogs maintain a youthful vitality as they go into their senior years. An exclusive blend of nutrients and antioxidants promotes healthy aging. L-carnitine helps metabolize fat to help maintain a healthy weight. Plus, the small kibble is highly palatable, satisfying even the fussiest eaters for a meal your dog will love. Add a variety in texture with Royal Canin Mature 8+ wet dog food. And when your dog reaches their senior years, you can help keep them healthy with Royal Canin Small Aging 12+.

31 Oct 2019My dogs love this!
I've tried many many brands of dog food. I've tried Fromm, halo, and other expensive brands. But my dogs love this one the best.

30 Oct 2019Perfect for finicky!!
Our Yorkie is very finicky once she was about six years old. She started getting allergies to certain things our vet suggested we change her to Royal Canin and it’s been a wonderful change. She no longer chews her paws and seems to be easy to digest the small pieces. She is now ten years old and looks like a young pup still jumping on everything. I would definitely recommend you try this product.

22 Oct 2019Glad I switched!
My daughter in law told me to switch to Royal Canin for my 2 small dogs and I have seen a big difference-they are much more energetic. I am very glad I made this purchase and plan on staying with Royal Canin !

22 Oct 2019Love the small pieces
My 2 small dogs love this. One of my dogs has not teeth and he will eat it dry even thought he has no teeth. I have tried other brands and my dogs either will not eat it or just pick at it.
