HEALTHY ENERGY: Meets the high energy needs of extra-small puppies with key nutrients needed during their short, intense growth period

IMMUNE SUPPORT: An exclusive blend of antioxidants and vitamins provides immune support

SPECIALIZED KIBBLE: Exclusive extra-small kibble designed for miniature and toy dogs with tiny jaws and picky appetites

OPTIMAL STOOL: A specifically tailored blend of fibers promotes optimal stool quality

Your extra-small puppy has some big nutritional needs. That’s because toy and miniature breed puppies grow over a shorter period of time at a more intense rate than any other size dog. They’re also pretty fussy when it comes to the food they eat—it’s important to find a wholesome puppy food they’ll love. Royal Canin has the diet for extra-small puppies down to a science, finding the exact balance of nutrients your tiny puppy needs to become one magnificent dog.

Royal Canin X-Small Puppy dry dog food is tailor-made for your mini pup’s healthy growth and development. It has all the proteins, minerals, and vitamins your new puppy needs to sustain the intense growth period that happens over the first 10 months of their life. An exclusive mix of antioxidants and minerals supports their developing immune systems and keeps their bodies growing strong. A small and tasty kibble designed for your pup’s smaller teeth and picky appetite also reduces the formation of tartar. And a tailored blend of fiber helps aid in digestion for optimal stool quality.

perfect size bite

Began feeding my new Chihuahua puppy this formula and he loves it! It's easy for him to eat the tiny size pieces and it blends so well with canned food. Definitely sticking with your food for his whole life.

Love RC!

I'm a Yorkie breeder and have been using RC for years to wean my puppies. The kibble is perfect size for small mouths. I think they are healthier because of this food. I have tried other brands and always come back to RC!

Used nothing else

This is the food we have given our Toy Aussie since we brought him home, and he loves it. He has grown well over his puppy years. We will be transitioning to Royal Canin Adult food soon!

Toy Aussies love it!

We have two toy Aussies that absolutely love this food. They are very healthy and seem to enjoy eating it. We'll always use Royal Canin.

Amazing product!!

I had bought my Pomeranian puppy these so called "natural" foods (blue buffalo, wellness, etc.) None which he liked. He was losing a significant amount of weight and wasn't weighing his proper weight. It wasnt until my groomer recommended Royal Canine that he started gaining weight. I barely place his bowl down and he finishes it within minutes. I would never turn to any other brand. His fur has even gotten healthier after shifting to this brand. Would definitely recommend for any dog owners who have a puppy that is a picky eater, like mine!

MY Maltese loves it.

I bought the food when I first got my puppy. She was only 1.2 pounds and she loved the food.
