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+.

22 May 2017Dogs love it
We have a Cairn (almost 13 y/o) and Westie (almost 9y/o). Both came from puppy mills and this food has not caused any dietary issues for them. They both enjoy eating Royal Canin. We wish there was a larger bag to purchase in stores as buying small bags is very expensive esp with 2 dogs.

05 Jul 2016Tastes good
I have been using Royal Canin for 14 years. Sadie is a fussy eater and the Mini Special was a life saver. She wouldn't eat anything else. I switched to Mini Mature 8+ a few years back and she still loves it.

27 May 2016The only thing my dogs eat!
My dogs just love this food. We switched from another food a few years ago and they love the flavor and crunchiness of this food. It is hard to please all three of my dogs but Royal canin seemed to do it.
