Royal Canin Canine Dental Small Dog is a veterinary-exclusive dry dog food specially formulated to support your small dog’s oral health. It’s been awarded the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) “Helps Control Tartar” seal of approval, as it’s clinically proven to effectively reduce tartar buildup. It contains calcium and phosphorus to help support healthy teeth, and the uniquely designed kibble size and shape encourages chewing, which creates a tooth-brushing effect to help reduce plaque accumulation and tartar buildup. Plus, because small dogs have a tendency to have lower urinary tract health concerns, this diet is formulated to promote a diluted urine which helps reduce the risk of crystal formation.

Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

Have been experimenting with several brands. Pleased with some that keep our Chihuahua coat shiny and no shedding but haven't conquered smelly breath even after a dental till now. Will see long term if this is the ONE!
I was surprised by how large the pieces were, seeing as it is for small dogs! My 5lb pomchi is very particular about food and will turn down anything too large or unfamiliar to him. Well, my little guy did not hesitate to consume this food! Glad that we switched to this food. Hopeful that it will aid in his dental health as well.
We have had our 4 lb rescue chihuahua on this for about a year. I took him to the vet yesterday for his annual dental. When they checked us in and looked in his mouth she told me his teeth were “pristine” and he didn’t need cleaning. Told us to come back in a year!
My dog just loves it, and it is helping his teeth to boot! Thank you so much!
My dog Pearl is a miniature pincher. She’s a small breed approx 10lbs. Unfortunately, Pearl had 15 teeth pulled due to dental disease. Her vet recommended this food. I was hesitant to get after reading some of the reviews. I ordered anyway and have no recreates. My dog is a picky eater and she loves this food. The food is larger pieces but they seem hollow and are not difficult to chew for a small Dog or dog with recent surgery. Within 5 days from her teeth extractions she was eating this food mixed with wet food. Give it a try.
Our Vet recently prescribed this for our Toy puppies' dental health. We use it in addition to their regular food. It will be a while before we can assess its benefits over the long term, but our two little ones love the flavor -- devour it without hesitation..!!
I first bought Purina Pro Plan VH Dental in the small bites formula for small breeds but the kibble were enormous. My dog refused to eat them. Gave Royal Canin a try not knowing if they would be any smaller and thankfully they are. They're still large (have to be to get the brushing effect) but the shape is flat whereas the Purina is spherical like tiny meatballs. It makes a big difference in him being able to eat it. Very happy to have found a dental food he's willing and able to eat. Too soon to comment on its effectiveness.
Our vet recommended these and the dog loves them. We use them for after meal treats as opposed to just feeding these for meals.
I bought this for my 8 lb dog. The kibble are larger than my 80 lb lab's kibble. I cannot use this food. Apparently I cannot return it either.
I trust Royal Canin completely, but too bad my dog won't eat it. She has been eating some version of Royal Canin Sensitive Stomach for over 15 years. She always favors the kibbles I have left from the supplies I stocked up on before leaving Texas. I wish Royal Canin would bring the brand back -- or at least something that looks and tastes like it.
