Royal Canin Small Puppy Dry Dog Food
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Small dogs need more than just a small kibble. They need more energy than big dogs, and they have a shorter and more intense growth period. Plus, they typically live longer than large dogs, and have a more finicky appetite. Whether we’re talking about their bodies or their lifestyle, small dogs are a little bit different from the rest of the canine world. Fortunately, Royal Canin Mini is distinctly different, too.
Key Benefits- For puppies up to 10 months between 9 & 22 pounds
- Highly digestible proteins for the best possible nutrient absorption
- Specific nutrients to support digestive health
- Intensified energy content to support higher energy needs
- Proven kibble technology helps reduce the formation of tartar

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.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain grains?
Grains can be a healthy part of any cat or dog’s diet. As always, we focus on the nutrients each ingredient provides and grains can provide many important nutrients.

Pricey but worth it
By unclecharlie on Sep 12, 2020
I like this brand. I had puppy for 7 months. He will be switching to Adult next month. He will be 1 in October. The reason I like this brand although it cost a little more is because his stools is very easy to pick up. I notice that this food alone make his stool firm and biodegradable. This is what sold me. My dog is little 8lbs but my yard is not messy from his stools. If I do not pick is up immediately. I found out that is gone in a few days.

Dog loves it but I’m worried
By SchnauzerMama on Sep 2, 2020
This food was sent home with our new puppy and she LOVES it. However I’ve read so many reviews saying it is one of the worst foods if you want your dog to be healthy. Scares me! I’m researching options b/c I trust Chewy.

Picky puppy troubles
By Jenny on Jun 29, 2020
I have a toy aussie (5 months old) like most puppies, she explores and put things in her mouth but not her puppy food! I started her out on Royal Canin puppy food but made the mistake of trying another brand of similar puppy kibble. Jenny would have none of it ..even try to cover her bowl with a toy! Once I returned to R.C small puppy food ...she quite happy to eat her food!

Veterinarian Highly Recommended
By JenA on Sep 11, 2020
My vet uses this for her dogs. Older brand & consistent reliability throughout the years. She is not a fan of grain free as many of those recipes are resulting in canine heart disease.

Is the larger bag a different recipe from the small?
By Katkol on Aug 9, 2020
My puppy loved Royal Canin. I was buying a 2.5lb bag from our local pet store. When I saw the price on chewy.com for a large bag, I bought it. Unfortunately, it is a different, lighter color than what we had been buying and my dog doesn’t like it. Did it change?

Excellent Puppy Food
By Mugs on Jul 24, 2020
Very good, fresh, high quality kibble. It actually smells good and my puppy is crazy about it. He lines it so much I can use it as training treats.

Would not buy this again
By Tiffany on May 21, 2020
My cockapoo puppy HATES this food. We only bought it because this is what the breeder was feeding him and they suggested that we stick with it for at least a month. It has been a true struggle to make him eat this! We tried adding chicken broth (worked a few times) and chicken. Adding chicken is the only way he'll eat this and even then most of the time doesn't eat it until at the end of the day when he's starving and desperate. Also, just from a nutritional standpoint, this food is not great. The first ingredient is brewers rice and all the proteins are by-products. It's ridiculous considering the price and I don't understand why my vet recommended this. I would not buy nor recommend it to anyone My cockapoo puppy HATES this food.
