Maturing extra-small dogs and toy breeds can have a longer life span than larger dogs—and with a long life comes unique nutritional needs. They may be graying a little and slower than they were when they were younger. They’re also possibly becoming pickier about the food they eat in their mature years.
Royal Canin X-Small Adult 8+ dry dog food is targeted nutrition for your extra-small dog’s unique traits as they age. Its scientific formula helps maintain their vitality with an exclusive blend of nutrients and antioxidants. Ideal levels of EPA and DHA support healthy skin and a beautiful, shiny coat. Highly digestible proteins and a precise blend of fibers promote healthy digestion. And the extra-small, highly palatable kibble ensures even the pickiest eaters keep coming back to the bowl at every meal. 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 X-Small Aging 12+.

My dog likes it - easy to chew. I sometimes mix a little bit of wet food with it to change it up for him.

22 Oct 2019Best for my girls.
I have a set of mother & daughter chihuahuas. The mother 13 and her daughter is 8. This food keeps both of them happy, healthy, and going. Perfect kibble size for their poor aching mouths.

22 Oct 2019Great food!
I've been being Royal Canine since the first day of getting my pup. He's 9 yrs old now. Never changed his food brand. I love it and Max loves it. Only have changed kibble size and age specific kind over yrs. He never had a problem adjusting. Wouldn't use anything else. Very confident this food has kept him healthy and at a good weight through the years!

My dog adores this food! I just wish it came in the 14 lb option like the other products do. Its crazy to me that its $14 for 2.5 lbs when I can get 8x more (14lbs) for 2x the price.

I tried this about a month ago on an elderly Papillon that I rescued a year ago. She had to have all of her teeth extracted but still prefers hard kibble over canned or softened kibble. She's a very finicky eater and has a sensitive stomach. Much to my joy, she Loves this food! Haven't had one issue in getting her to eat it everyday, plus her coat and energy levels are improving daily! Thank you!!!!
