Complete dry food for mature large-breed dogs (5 years and older): precision nutrition to counteract the first signs of aging, protect joints from excessive physical strain, and support digestive health.
In large-breed dogs, the average life expectancy is lower than in small or medium breeds; consequently, the age of 5 already marks the onset of biological maturity.
At this crucial stage in a dog’s life, joint cartilage begins to lose elasticity due to continuous mechanical wear and tear, physical activity naturally tends to decrease, and cellular defenses are challenged by oxidative stress accumulated over the years.
Royal Canin Maxi Adult 5+ provides preventive and targeted nutrition to preserve the physical well-being and vitality of Maxi dogs. The formula includes a selected complex of antioxidants—including vitamins C and E—designed to protect cell membranes from free radicals and support vital organs.
The combined supply of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), glucosamine, and chondroitin nourishes the joint structures strained by the dog’s significant weight, alleviating stiffness and supporting daily mobility.
In the digestive tract, highly digestible proteins (L.I.P.) and a carefully balanced dietary fiber profile ensure smooth digestion and well-formed stools, compensating for the naturally slow digestion in the colon of large-breed dogs. The kibble, specially sized for the strong jaws of giant breed dogs, encourages proper chewing and prevents the food from being swallowed too quickly.
