AGING SUPPORT: EPA, DHA, and antioxidants for dogs promote healthy aging

HEART HEALTH: Key senior dog nutrition supports heart health

FOR PICKY EATERS: Palatable dog food satisfies the fussy appetites of small dogs with enhanced palatability

SPECIALIZED KIBBLE: Senior x-small breed dry dog food has rehydratable kibble designed for older dogs’ miniature teeth and senior jaws

After they reach 12, extra-small senior dogs have unique nutritional needs. Their tiny jaws, sensitive digestive systems, and aging heart can benefit from a targeted size-specific diet. They’re also even more picky about the food they eat in their senior years.

Royal Canin X-Small Aging 12+ dry dog food is targeted nutrition to support your extra-small senior dog’s health. Its formula helps small breed dogs maintain their vitality as they get older. An exclusive blend of nutrients and antioxidants promotes healthy aging and heart health. Highly digestible proteins and a precise blend of fibers promote healthy digestion. And the extra-small kibble is highly palatable and easily rehydratable with warm water to make it softer and easy for your senior dog’s tiny jaws to pick up, chew, and eat. For a variety in texture, give your senior dog Royal Canin Mature 8+ wet dog food.

My girl likes it!

I feed this dry food at will with supplemental morning and evening small amount of canned food. She seems to be thriving on it.

The only food for my chihuahua

This is the only food my chihuahua will eat. I tried feeding him can food and soft morsels after he had his teeth pulled. He wouldn't even try the food. I gave him his x-small royal canin dry adult for 12 + years & he ate it as usual. He loves his royal canin and will eat nothing else. I am so thankful this is a excellent dog food. Keeps his coat healthy along with his health. Thank you royal canin.

The boys love it!

I have two chihuahuas, and they love this food. I switched over to Royal Canin 6 months ago, and they are happier and healthier than they have ever been. It is easier for our oldest to chew with his sensitive teeth, and our younger chihuahua has had less digestive since we made the switch. I am so glad that the vet recommended this to us.
