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.
Key Benefits- A veterinary-exclusive formula for small dogs under 22 lb that are prone to dental tartar and plaque buildup.
- Clinically proven to reduce plaque buildup and maintain oral care; accepted by the VOHC.
- Exclusive kibble helps reduce plaque accumulation and tartar buildup by creating a tooth-brushing effect when dogs chew.
- Promotes a diluted urine which helps reduce the risk of crystal formation in the bladder.
- Contains calcium and phosphorus to help support healthy teeth.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

Big kibbles for small breeds
By Tiffany on Jan 12, 2022
My 16-lb senior throwback Pomeranian has small teeth with dental issues, and the kibble size is almost as big as a starburst candy. He doesn't seem to mind it, and I mix it with another smaller kibble that he's been eating.

Not for small breeds...
By Marly on Oct 9, 2021
I purchase this item because I wanted kibble that would support my two toy poodles' dental health. BUT the pieces are huge and absolutely not kibble that I'd feed my 7 lb. dogs, especially since the suggested serving size is 3/4 cup (which makes for too large a serving for small dogs). Each piece has a circumference of approximately 1/2 inch. Pretty big... So, it didn't meet the need for my dogs.

Great product
By Myka on Dec 25, 2021
Was a little worried my dog would not eat this size kibble but she love it. Hope it works well on cleaning her teeth.

Chewy gets my vote!
By Izzy on Sep 2, 2021
I simply love Chewy and the folks who work there! While sometimes I might make things complicated for them, they smile and send lots of hugs to me and my human Mum! Keeping up with all the things I need as an elderly sweet Havanese is easy with auto ship. Everything arrives on time with a pre-shipping notice, a chance to change anything, and occasional discount coupons for my next order!

not Chihuahua size
By Speedy on Sep 10, 2021
My Chihuahua eagerly eats Royal Canin Satiety for small dogs mixed with RC Satiety canned food. But she will not eat if mixed with this larger kibble. My mini Dachshund scarfs up all of the mixture, even dry.

Pieces to big for my small dogs
By Debbie on Aug 6, 2021
I purchased this food, marked as. For small dogs in attempt to try to care for our dogs and their teeth....the pieces are too big for Coco and George. Their normal size pieces of Acana food has smaller pieces. Trying to decide if I will food with trying to chop it up or if I will soak it and feed it to the chickens.

Brandi's Dental Care
By Brandi on Jun 30, 2021
Brandi has been on other Royal Canin food since a baby. She loves it and is her favorite food. Tried other dental food for small dogs but, the kibble was so huge and hard for her to bite or chew. Was so glad when found out Royal Canin had Dental food. My first cairn had her teeth cleaned and cost was Super Expensive. Hopefully this will help to avoid that. Loves the taste and didn't cause and diet problems.

Great dental food
By Kristine on Sep 2, 2021
My vet recommended this and my dog loves it. It helps keep his teeth cleaner so more frequent cleanings are not needed, which is what I am trying to avoid. Highly recommend.

They're big for a reason...
By MomOfGemma on May 23, 2021
My vet explained to us that that nuggets are extra-large, because breaking them up helps control the tartar. If they were smaller, they wouldn't be as effective. All the reviewers complaining about the size should possibly talk to their vet - you might feel better about about feeding them to your small dog. Gemma just went in for her first teeth cleaning and we got the BEST report. They said it was really easy to polish up her teeth because they were in great shape. I don't think that would have been the case without this food. We adopted her from an animal hoarding situation where she got no care for the first year of her life.

Tasty and healthy
By Janchi on Jul 5, 2021
Royal Canin Dental was recommended by a vet to keep our MinPin’s teeth healthy. Our dog eats wet food with dry food available. After she sampled a few other dry foods, Royal Canin was the one that appealed to her fussy taste. It was very easy to acquire vet approval and delivery by Chewy quickly.
