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.
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.
How do you ensure Royal Canin diets are safe for my pet?
Our Quality and Food Safety systems are state-of-the-art and we continue to invest heavily in new technology to make sure they remain that way.* We put our suppliers through a rigorous selection process that doesn’t end with our first purchase.* We monitor every load delivered to our plants to verify the safety and quality of the ingredients we use to make pet food.* We perform tests on finished pet foods before they are shipped to our customers.* We manufacture every pet food we sell, in plants that we own; our plants are ISO 9001:2008 certified for Quality Management and ISO 22000 certified for Food Safety.
How do I know which Royal Canin diet is right for my pet?
Based on size, age, lifestyle, and breed, each cat or dog has unique nutritional needs. For healthy pets, use our Product Selector to find the right diet for your cat or dog.If your pet is experiencing health issues, please refer to your veterinarian for more information.

My 8-month old Westie loves this food
By Andy on Jun 14, 2019
We were planning to switch from our previous puppy kibble brand to the Royal Canin brand made specifically for Westies, but found out that the Royal Canin Westie brand/formula was recommended for dogs of at least 10 months old. So when we were running out of our previous kibble brand, we decided to transition our 8-month old Westie to the Royal Canin Small Puppy brand/formula. Our Westie loves this food. I expect he'll love the specific Westie brand/formula when he's able to eat it in a couple months.

Tasty tidbits
By Tdogmom on Jul 1, 2019
I mistakenly ordered the thirteen pound bag of this food (it is enough for a year for the puppy) but I have found it to be a darn good training treat for my older dogs. I just have to keep an eye on the older ones as they like to go and eat up the puppy’s food. Bol!

Puppy loves. Puppy Mom approves
By Chloe on Jul 3, 2019
My little shih tzu loves this food. Especially when inserted into a toy that dispenses the food when she plays with it. It apparently is more delicious coming out of a dispensing toy than sitting in her dish.

Poppy loves this food!
By PoppythePomchi on May 13, 2019
After trying 3 different foods for our 7-month picky PomChi, Royal Canin is by far her absolute favorite! It is well worth the money, as none of it goes to waste, she’s eats it all, every time. The small, triangle sized kibbles are perfect for her small mouth and the bag has a ziplock that seals in freshness, so go ahead and buy the larger bag.

Great puppy food!!
By Toering5 on Jun 4, 2019
Got this for my French bulldog and he loves it. Eats all of it, great droppings and I will keep him on the Royal Canine dog food for life. His breeder uses it as well and suggested I buy it. GET THIS PUPPY FOOD!

My puppy loves this food
By Lucy on Apr 21, 2019
My eight week old cockapoo puppy loves this puppy food and the fact it is such a good quality and has all the good stuff a puppy needs in it. The bag I got is probably going to last for several months . The price is so much less than other places and that’s the only place I’ll get the puppy food fromYou receive it. You also get the puppy food within two day. Great customer service!

What he grew up on
By Tags on Apr 26, 2019
This is what the breeder was feeding him since he was born, so we kept it. I really did not want to try and change his food to a different brand. With him being a small dog, he really does not eat that much so one package last a while.

Perfect size kibble for small breeds
By SRQcowgirl on Apr 21, 2019
My mini Australian Shepherd puppy really loves this. She is pretty particular about what she eats, and I have had to experiment with several brands. I know she's getting the proper nutrition for this stage of her life.
