Overview:
-
Mini dog food formulas are so much more than just a small kibble. Small dogs need more energy than big dogs, and they have a shorter and more intense growth period. Plus, they typically live longer than large dogs, and have a more finicky appetite. Royal CaninMiniformulas are designed to meet the specific needs of small dogs throughout every stage of their life
-
Maintains Ideal Weight - Contains 12% less kilocalories than Mini Adult. Helps maintain a healthy weight in small dogs by meeting their high energy needs while using L-carnitine to promote fat metabolism.
-
Controls Appetite - Features a nutritious, satisfying formula to keep a small dog feeling fuller, longer.
-
Dental Health - Proven kibble technology helps reduce the formation of tartar.
Royal Canin Mini Light Weight Care dry dog food is designed for small adult dogs with a tendency to gain weight. 30% to 40% of all dogs are overweight. Excess weight can affect your dog's health, leading to diabetes or joint problems and potentially even reducing their life expectancy. It is important to act quickly at the first signs of weight gain to prevent this from causing significant health problems.
Royal Canin Mini Light Weight Care is rich in protein (30%) to promote muscle development and maintenance. The low fat content (11%) and calorie reduction of 15% compared to a typical maintenance diet also helps to keep your dog at a healthy weight, while added L-carnitine mobilises the body's fat reserves and can stimulate the burning of fat.
Some small dog breeds, such as Miniature Long-Haired Dachshunds, Miniature Shelties, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cairn Terriers and Miniature Schnauzers, have a genetic predisposition to obesity or a natural tendency to overeat. Royal Canin Mini Light Weight Care has been developed with the specific needs of typically overweight small-breed dogs in mind.
Valuable omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can have a positive effect on your dog's health. Omega-3 helps to prevent inflammatory diseases and optimises oxygen supply to the brain, while the omega-6 fatty acids contained in borage oil promote healthy skin and a glossy coat. Royal Canin Mini Light dry food also features pentasodium triphosphate, which binds calcium in your dog's saliva and contributes to the prevention of tartar build-up.
