WEIGHT MAINTENANCE: L-carnitine helps maintain a healthy weight, while helping to meet the high energy needs of small dog breeds

SKIN AND COAT HEALTH: Optimal levels of fatty acids like EPA and DHA support skin and a healthy dog coat

SPECIALIZED KIBBLE: Small breed adult dog food has an exclusive kibble design adapted for miniature jaws

GREAT FOR PICKY EATERS: Enhanced palatable dog food satisfies the fussy appetites of small dogs

Your small dog has some big nutritional needs. That’s because small breed dogs actually have higher energy requirements than big dogs. Not only that, these mini pooches have unique traits—and are pretty picky when it comes to what’s put in their bowl.

Royal Canin Small Adult dry dog food is formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of small breed adult dogs, as they actually require higher levels of calories per pound of body weight than large dogs. L-carnitine helps metabolize fat to help your dog maintain a healthy weight. Ideal levels of EPA and DHA support healthy skin and a beautiful, shiny coat. Plus, enhanced palatability helps satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Add a variety in texture with Royal Canin Adult Beauty wet dog food. And when your dog reaches their later years, there’s Royal Canin Small Adult 8+ and Small Aging 12+ to help keep them happy and healthy as they age.

Best Dog Food Out There!

I was told to try this dog food when I got our Jack Russell puppy . It is the only food we give our pet and she loves it. It is healthy, easy for her to eat and it keeps the smell of her waste down to a minimum.

Eden Loves It

Eden has been on this food for over a year. Before that she was on the puppy formula. This food has helped maintain her overall health and easy on her digestive system. She does not care for any other food now.

The only food I feed!

When I got my puppy I started him on RC puppy, as he got older I switched him to another brand of food, big mistake. His feces was runny and he always seemed gassy. I put hm back on Royal Canin Adult Small Breed and with in a few days he was not tooting all the time and his feces was back to a nice firm and healthy consistency. I will never switch him off this food again.

switched all my dogs to this food and they love it. My only negative is they can't seem to keep it in stock from one day to the next.
