Complete dry food for mature small-breed dogs weighing up to 10 kg (8 years and older): a formula specifically designed to support cellular vitality, maintain a healthy weight, stimulate appetite, and promote dental health.
Small-breed dogs are known for their remarkable life expectancy, but starting at 8 years of age, the first physiological changes associated with aging begin to appear: their basal metabolism slows down, daily physical activity decreases, the body produces more free radicals, and their teeth may be affected by years of tartar buildup and wear.
To keep their characteristic liveliness intact, it is essential to adjust their nutritional profile before diseases associated with advanced age appear.
Royal Canin Mini Adult 8+ offers targeted nutritional support to help navigate this transition phase. The formula includes a patented antioxidant complex, comprising green tea polyphenols and vitamins C and E, designed to counteract cellular aging and neutralize oxidative stress at the tissue and renal levels.
To prevent weight gain due to a sedentary lifestyle, the energy density is carefully balanced (16% fat) and enriched with L-carnitine, which stimulates lipid metabolism by promoting the burning of fat deposits and protecting muscle tone (27% protein).
A rigorous selection of natural flavors and the kibble’s unique crumbly texture encourage chewing even in dogs with a weakened sense of smell or sensitive teeth. Finally, salivary calcium chelators limit the mineralization of dental plaque, ensuring continuous protection of the oral cavity.
