Royal Canin Size Health Nutrition X-Small Breed Adult 8+ Dry Dog Food
What is Royal Canin Size Health Nutrition X-Small Breed Adult 8+ Dry Dog Food?
Royal Canin Size Health Nutrition X-Small Breed Adult 8+ Dry Dog Food is targeted nutrition for your extra-small dog’s unique traits as they age. Maturing extra-small dogs and toy breeds can have a longer life span than larger dogs—and with a long life comes unique nutritional needs. They may be graying a little and slower than they were when they were younger. They’re also possibly becoming pickier about the food they eat in their mature years.

Royal Canin Size Health Nutrition X-Small Breed Adult 8+ Dry Dog Food Directions:
- The below feeding chart should only be used as a guide.
- Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your dog's temperament, activity level, and environment.
- If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
- Ensure fresh drinking water is available to your pet at all times.
- Kibble color may vary due to natural ingredients.
- Slowly moving your pet onto a new food over at least 7 days is recommended to ensure their comfort and help them adapt to their new food.
- Transition Instructions: On Day 1 and Day 2, mix 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet. 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.
Moisture Boost: X-Small breed dogs, especially seniors, may benefit from additional moisture in their diet. Consider moistening Royal Canin X-Small Breed Adult 8+ Dry Dog Food with warm water or low-sodium broth before serving. This not only enhances the aroma and palatability of the food but also increases hydration, which is important for urinary tract health and overall well-being. Allow the food to soak for a few minutes to soften before offering it to your dog. Adjust the amount of added liquid based on your dog's preference and health needs, and always ensure fresh water is available throughout the day.
