GREAT FOR PICKY EATERS: Senior small breed dry dog food designed with rehydratable kibble is easy to chew and designed for older dogs’ small teeth and jaws

When small breed dogs reach their senior years, their nutritional needs change. They may be slower, but the right diet can help them stay active and vibrant throughout the later stage of adulthood.

Royal Canin Small Aging 12+ dry senior dog food (formerly Mini Aging 12+) is tailored to support healthy aging in your small dog. This scientific formula helps small senior dogs maintain their vitality through an exclusive blend of nutrients with EPA, DHA, and antioxidants, and helps maintain healthy kidneys with a controlled phosphorus level. Optimal levels of essential fatty acids from fish oil nourish their skin and coat for a lustrous shine. Not only that, this small kibble is highly palatable and easily rehydratable: Just add warm water for a soft, easy-to-chew meal your pint-sized senior dog will love. And for even more variety, give them Royal Canin Mature 8+ wet dog food.

Perfect for Pekingese

I have been using Royal Canin for a year with my two 11 year old Peke's. They love it and their energy level is increased. I use a little pumpkin to top off their dry food and their blood work is excellent. They act like young dogs not dogs entering their senior years.

Keeping my older dog healthy.

I've fed Sabrina nothing but Royal Canin ever since she rescued me over 10 years ago. She is now 13+ and eats eagerly and loves her morning mile walks but going in the car (even to the vet) is her absolute favorite.

Excellent Food

I have been feeding this to my 14 year old dog for several months now and he is really doing very well on the food. His energy has improved greatly. He loves the food as well. I also feed all of my other dogs Royal Canin but not the same variety as they are different ages. All doing very well. All of my 6 dogs are rescues.
