Product Information

This Royal Canin wet dog food has been specially formulated for small dogs weighing up to 10kg, with specialised nutrition that is designed to ensure your smaller breed dog is happy, healthy and active throughout its life. There's some debate regarding whether one is better than the other. The BVA says: 'There is not enough evidence to recommend one over the other; there are advantages to both. A vet will be able to recommend the most suitable diet.'

The link between diet and health for humans is well established: we all know that we should eat a balanced diet, ideally including fresh ingredients. But what about our dogs? What is the best dog food to give them? Specially formulated puppy food contains extra protein to support healthy development of body structures as well as optimised levels of essential minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, zinc and iron to help build strong bones and teeth. Dogs should be fed appropriately for their stage of life: nutritional needs change as pets grow older.

In general, it’s safe to give up to 10 per cent of your dog’s daily diet as household scraps, added to their main meal. You should not give more than this, as you risk creating an overall diet that is imbalanced, with an inappropriate mix of nutrients that may not cater to their needs.
