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+.

I have 4 shih tzus and all are picky eaters. It is hard to find 1 food even 2 would eat but this particular one they all 4 cannot get enough of and they will all eat it without any toppers of any kind. I can also use it for treats.

I have two small dogs, a Maltese(very fussy) with a very sensitive stomach and a dorkie( dachshund/Yorkie) who eats anything but has a tendency to overeat. They both do very well with this food. They enjoy it, their coats are nice and shiny and they’ve maintained their weight nicely.

13 Jul 2018My dog seems to enjoy it quite a bit
I have been feeding my dog Royal Canin for 9 years. I gave him the pup food at first, then the adult dog food, and now the mature dog food. He munches it right up when it goes in his bowl. He seems energized, he's a good weight, and his coat is sleek and soft -- all of which I attribute to the food. :)
