Product Description

Product Overview

Royal Canin X-Small Puppy Dry Dog Food – 1.5kg is a complete dry food specially formulated for very small breed puppies from 2 to 10 months old that are expected to reach an adult weight of up to 4kg.

Very small breed puppies mature relatively quickly and have specific nutritional and energy requirements during their growth period. Royal Canin X-Small Puppy provides an intense energy content adapted to the needs of these rapidly growing puppies while also helping satisfy the fussy appetites often associated with extra-small breeds.

The formula contains a complex of antioxidants, including vitamin E, to help support the puppy's developing natural defences. A balanced intake of fibres, including 1% psyllium, helps support healthy intestinal transit and contributes to good stool quality.

The small, specially adapted kibble is designed to suit the miniature jaws of X-Small puppies.
