Royal Canin Small Puppy Dry Dog Food
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.

My 17 week old Cocker Spaniel puppy "Sir" has had GI issues since I got him at 8 weeks old. He has had constant diarrhea, been a picky eater, and gets a upset tummy frequently. I know that's kind of strange for a Cocker Spaniel. They are known for their "Stomachs of steel". He was examined by a vet as soon as this all started and has been continually brought in for check ups. About 4 weeks ago my vet recommended changing his puppy food again and switching to Royal Canin. It was a hit! He loved the food! No more upset tummy and no more not wanting to eat his food! He still had the diarrhea, but since adding probiotics to his diet that has resolved.

I can not sing enough praises about this product and Royal Canin. Since the switch I have changed my other dog and 2 cats to Royal Canin as well and have seen amazing differences in their health and coats. … more

Another excellent product from the Royal Canin product line. We just adopted a 10 week old Beagle puppy and she loves this food. The kibble is small and easy for her to chew. Have always had a good experience with this brand. It’s a very high quality product recommended by our vet. She digests it well loves the taste.

I have been buying Royal Canin puppy food for my King Charles Cavalier puppy from the local pet store. I paid approximately $20 for 2 oz bag . I paid approximately $30 for a 13 pound bag with Chewy.com. Do the math......

Great quality food. This brand is great for my sensitive bulldog. He loves the taste and it is great for his sensitive skin and tummy. Worth every penny!! Glad I can save a few by using Chewy though.

Just like another post here I was shocked to see the new blue bag have a significant formulation change and not for the better. This is deceptive advertising saying it is a change in bag branding and not mention the formulation change. Luckily, I saw this change at the store and found an old green bag. Will be using this last bag of original formulation to mix with my new choice in puppy food as this is not what I am going to continue with.

We tried three different foods for mini breeds. This is the one our JR likes the best. It is so easy to order and receive at our front door. Once we know how often to order we will use the auto ship. Thx Chewy!

READ the ingredients! It is NOT the same! Used RC Mini puppy for over 10 years. Paid the high price for the QUALITY. First ingredient was chicken meal. Now the FIRST ingredient is BREWERS RICE followed by (chicken BY PRODUCT). REALLY? Way to go Royal Canin! If you think people will buy this lower than grocery store quality at a HIGH price you are sadly mistaken. Also NOT fair that the reviews are based off the OLD formula.

ROYAL CANIN IS VERY GOOD FOR PUPS, THEY HAVE ENERGY, IT DOES WELL FOR THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. MY PUPS LOVE IT, THEY CAN EVEN SMELL IT WHEN I AM ABOUT TO GIVE IT TO THEM. I ADD A LITTLE WATER TO MAKE THEM MOIST AND THEY GO CRAZY FOR IT
