VITALITY SUPPORT: A blend of prebiotics and antioxidants for dogs supports natural defenses for immune support

SKIN AND COAT HEALTH: Optimal levels of EPA and DHA maintain healthy skin and a healthy dog coat

HEALTHY DIGESTION: Easy-to-digest proteins and a balanced supply of fiber promote dog digestive health

SPECIALIZED KIBBLE: Palatable, mature small breed dry dog food has an exclusive kibble design to encourage chewing

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+.

My dog loves his food!!

I adopted my pooch a little over a year ago. This food has well balanced nutrients. My previous pooch had tummy issues and we gave him the gastrointestinal formula.It truly helped him.

Great food!

My schnauzer Loved this food. We tried her with different types and this one was her favorite. She was 13 when we started her on this food. It was easy for her to chew, she never left any behind. We are currently looking for a schnauzer and are definitely buying this brand again.
