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.

Great Dog Food

Have used this dog food from day one of getting my dog. He is 7 yrs old now! He loves it. Has never turned his nose up to it either!! I love the size of the kibbles. Hes a 9 lb yorkie, so it's perfect size for him.

Absolutely a great product!

I have used this for 2 years now. It has changed all my dogs health in every way. Wish I would have started sooner but was trying other foods because this was expensive. But going to vet with issues from past foods ,far ways more then this food. No ear infections, no stomach upsets, no skin allergies, less pool, maintains weight. Great job Royal Canin, dont change a thing.
