Product Description

Product Overview

Royal Canin Mini Puppy – 4kg is a complete and balanced dry food formulated for small breed puppies from 2 to 10 months of age, with an expected adult body weight of up to 10kg.

Small breed puppies have a relatively short and intense growth period with high energy requirements. Royal Canin Mini Puppy provides an optimal energy content to help meet these needs while supplying key nutrients for healthy development.

The formula is enriched with DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain development and early learning. A nutritional complex containing vitamins C and E helps support the puppy's developing immune system.

Highly digestible proteins combined with prebiotics including FOS and MOS help support healthy digestion and a balanced intestinal microbiome.

The specially adapted kibble is designed for the small jaws of miniature and small breed puppies, making it easier to pick up and chew. At approximately 10 months of age, puppies can transition to an appropriate adult formula such as Royal Canin Mini Adult.
