Royal Canin Chihuahua Puppy Dry Dog Food, 2.5-lb bag
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
This Royal Canin formula is designed exclusively for pure breed Chihuahua puppies from 8 weeks to 8 months. Chihuahua puppies tend to be picky eaters, making it difficult to ensure the right nutrition for healthy development. Plus, they are less able to digest proteins, resulting in fermentation in the intestinal tract. This is why it's important to feed a diet that is tailor-made to their specific needs.
Key Benefits- Designed for Chihuahua puppies from 8 weeks to 8 months
- A careful selection of exceptional aromas and flavors to increase palatability
- Helps reduce fecal smell and volume and helps support good digestion with highly digestible proteins, an appropriate fiber content and high quality carbohydrate sources
- An exclusive complex of antioxidants to help support a puppy's natural defenses

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your pet's temperament, activity level and environment. If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.

My chihuahua loves this
By Kathleen30 on Feb 10, 2021
My little girl stuck her nose up at several leading brands. She wasn’t gaining the weight she needed to and I was worried about her. I saw this bag and saw the price tag, and swallowed the $$$ factor. My little girl for the past 2 months since I switched loves to eat and has been putting weight on. I am thankful that someone made a chihuahua specific bread puppy food.

I highly recommend this food
By Misa on Feb 1, 2021
My 3 mont old chihuahua mix loves her new food! It’s a perfect size for her tiny mouth. When I adopted her from the shelter they were feeding her this big dry kibble that was so hard for her to chew and break down. She loves her new food. Her coat looks really nice and shiny.

New puppy loves it
By MaryBoise on Jan 31, 2021
I brought a new puppy home from a local shelter. My sister gave me some kibble from a high end brand that she had for her small breed pup, but my girl barely nibbled at it. However, when I put this in her bowl, she ate it right up! Clearly it is the right combo for chihuahuas.

Very satisfied
By Janice on Jan 16, 2021
Our chihuahua puppy has been using this for 3 months and she has grown to be a very beautiful puppy. Smooth and bright fur, fast response and most importantly, she loves this food! I use hot water to soften the food and that doesn’t reduce its favor at all.

When we bought Louie he only weighed 1 lb. Royal Canine Chihuahua puppy food is terrific. Louie is healthy and growing as he should. Very happy with this puppy food.
