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.
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.

Good Puppy Food
By Morkie on Jul 20, 2021
I would have given it 5 stars but the bag closer needs improvement. Husband was asked to take some out for indoor use. Left big bag in garage. After a couple of days away there were ants all over the bag an counter. Culprit, bag did not seal well. A toggle closer would be more reliable. had to put in smaller bags and put in freezer. Hopefully that will take care of any ants we missed.

Changed formula
By Jenny on Jul 12, 2021
Our puppy has enjoyed Royal Canin Puppy food since we took him home at 10 weeks old. We are now on our 5th bag of Royal Canin and the dry food not only smells different (and not in a good way), but our dog will not eat it. We knew Royal Canin was having shortage issues, but we are upset they have not kept the same quality standard their food has lived up to before.

Not What It Used To Be
By Laura on Jun 4, 2021
I had used this food for my pups for months, as it was recommended by our vet. I switched to another food when Royal Canin had its shortage. The dogs were very happy with their new food. Once Royal Canin was available again, I bought a bag to add to their diet again. Both pups really dislike this food now. They won’t touch it unless I add tons of toppers to it. I won’t be buying this again and I am disappointed that I wasted so much money to find out they changed the formula. They really need to announce the change. I hope this helps some people avoid wasting money on this food. It’s just not what it used to be.

Hit the nail on the head the first shot
By Paisley on Jun 30, 2021
You know how puppy's can be so finicky. Well, the breeder fed my yorkiepoo a low end puppy food, so I switched her to this brand. This was the first one I tried. She loved it. I let her graze all day and she eats everything. No trying 20 differant dog foods. I struck it rich the first time out.

dog food that is healthy
By dogfood on Jul 25, 2021
My dog loves this food, his energy is great and he loves to eat it. This brand is one of the best to feed your dog. I think I will continue to give him after his puppy period and continue onto adult royal canin food.

My special guys LOVE it!
By Ricki on May 17, 2021
I started looking for a good rawhide chew when my vet told me rawhide was good for dogs teeth. This brand sounded particularly healthy and my dogs LOVE them. Got a small chew sz bag for my miniature poodle puppy and the large chew size bag for my 38 pound, 12 year old Lagotto! I limit them to a 15 minute chew time. My older dog does NOT want to give them up! I was afraid the large would be too big for my mid size dog, but he would have devoured the small sz in probably less then 15 minutes! He handles and loves the large size with no problem!

Good Puppy Food
By HappyDoggo on Jun 22, 2021
Our breeder used this food so we continued to use it after we got our puppy. It works well. Pup is happy with it and doesn’t have too much gas after eating it so we are happy with it. :) We will likely continue with the Royal Canin line of food as our pup grows.

Picky Havanese Puppy Loves it!
By Baxter on Jun 23, 2021
This is perfect for my 5lb Havanese puppy. I tried a different high end brand and had to mix treats in with it to get him to eat it. Now he’s full of energy and excited to eat this!

Dachshund puppy loves it
By akb83 on May 7, 2021
My dachshund was getting really bad gas from Science Diet food, therefore I switched to Royal Canin. Almost immediately after I switched, the gas stopped and he loved eating! He’s 8 months old now, and still loves the food. It’s also much more worth the price than the specialty dachshund Royal Canin puppy food. Would definitely recommend!

Puppy fave
By Staple on Jul 9, 2021
This is my puppy's favorite food by far. He is tiny and very picky. He reliably will eat this food and the quality is good.
