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.

The Best Dog food

I got a puppy 2 months ago and another one last week. The second pup came with a half bag of this dog food which she loves. I couldn't find a puppy food my first dog would like until I gave him Royal Canin. He loves it as well. Thank you so much !

Great Transition food!

My Yorkie/Maltese puppy, Lucy has been on the Mini Starter from 6 1/2 weeks old to 4 months old because shes so tiny and is only 2.8 lbs. Last week I bought this food to help transition her and am mixing it with the mini starter brand. So far so good! The kibble are the same shape and texture, however they are a little bigger! No tummy upsets or finicky eaters yet! She even will graze throughout the day on this :)

I have a very fussy eater. I tried other puppy foods in the past and she would turn her nose up at them. Since I gave her Royal Canin puppy food, she hasn't eaten any other. She loves it!

Great experience!

My puppy has been eating this for over six month now and she absolutely loves the formula. She eats every bite and we are soon to transition her to the adult food. Our vet even recommended we keep her on this (her breeder fed her this and sent us home with some) because they are a handful of dig foods that actually have registered vets on their staff checking the food quality. Great brand and formula!

I raise tiny Yorkie puppies and this size kibble is terrific for them. They start eating it at 3 weeks of age and I wean them onto it completely at 8 weeks. Smallest kibble I've ever found in any brand of dog food and great for the puppies growth and health.

Excellent food

I got my chihuahua puppy at 7 weeks and the breeder started him on some cheap food, he wouldn't eat it so I tried a few other brands and this one was the best, he got so much healthier looking and grew so beautifully. He is about ready to go to the adult mix, I may mix the two to transition him to the new food. Thanks for making such a great food for my baby.

My two puppies like this food.

I have two Itialian Greyhounds under 6 months. I changed yo Royal Canin from what the breeder used due to product availability and veterinarian recommendations. They both like the food and are doing very well. They are growing nicely, have a beautiful shiny coat and are very healthy.

Puppy/ Chiot

I tried other dry dog food, but with Puppy/ chiot, my dog "Pepper" stopped licking the carpets when I switched back to Royal Canin Puppt/ Chiot. And he eats it all and does not walk away when half full!!

Pups love it and so do adult dogs.

My adult dogs are fed this. They eat it up. Puppies love it and are sent to new home with it. I have puppies at 3 weeks old that started nibbling on it after feeding on mom! LOL, special for them. Keeps them happy and healthy.
