Complete dry food for small adult dogs (up to 10 kg) with oral sensitivity: dual mechanical and chemical action for plaque control, tartar prevention, and dental hygiene.
In small-breed dogs, oral health is a critical issue. The anatomical structure of the smaller jaw forces the teeth into very close positions, creating tight spaces where food debris, saliva, and bacteria easily accumulate. Without regular cleaning, bacterial plaque rapidly mineralizes into hard tartar, which inflames the gums and can, over the long term, compromise the stability of the teeth themselves.
Royal Canin Mini Dental Care takes a preventive approach by combining dual protection:
-
Mechanical action: The kibble’s unique porous and calibrated texture does not crumble immediately upon contact with the tooth, but allows the tooth crown to sink into the kibble before it breaks. This creates a true “toothbrush effect” that removes the surface layer of plaque.
-
Biochemical action: The addition of calcium sequestrants (such as pentasodium triphosphate) binds the free calcium present in canine saliva, making it unavailable for the mineralization process of dental plaque.
The formula also provides a complete and balanced supply of highly digestible proteins (L.I.P.), fiber, and nutrients to support the skin barrier and maintain optimal vitality in small-breed dogs, transforming every daily meal into an effective dental hygiene treatment.

Ingredients: Corn meal, dehydrated poultry protein, rice, animal fats, hydrolyzed animal protein, beet pulp, vegetable fiber, minerals, cellulose powder, fish oil, soybean oil, fructo-oligosaccharides, marigold flower extract (source of lutein).
Nutritional additives (per kg): Vitamin A: 15,500 IU, Vitamin D3: 1,000 IU, E1 (Iron): 39 mg, E2 (Iodine): 3.9 mg, E4 (Copper): 12 mg, E5 (Manganese): 51 mg, E6 (Zinc): 128 mg, E8 (Selenium): 0.06 mg - Technological additives: Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin: 10 g, Pentasodium triphosphate (calcium chelator): 3.5 g - Preservatives - Antioxidants.
Analytical Constituents: Crude protein: 23.0% | Crude oils and fats: 16.0% | Crude ash: 6.9% | Crude fiber: 2.1% | Calcium: 0.80% | Phosphorus: 0.65%.
Feeding Guidelines and Usage Notes: Feed according to the daily amounts indicated in the table on the package, based on the dog’s actual weight and activity level. To maximize the cleaning effect, feed the kibble dry without moistening it, so as to preserve the mechanical abrasive action during chewing.
Always provide your pet with plenty of fresh, clean water.
Benefits:
Proven tartar reduction: Scientifically tested effectiveness with a dramatic reduction in tartar buildup on teeth.
Mechanical brushing effect: Texture and shape designed to allow the tooth to penetrate the kibble, cleaning the tooth surface during chewing.
Salivary calcium sequestrants: Specific chelating agents that capture calcium in the mouth to prevent it from binding to plaque and turning into tartar.
Freshness and gum health: Supports the balance of oral bacterial flora, reducing bad breath and gum irritation.
Complete and Balanced Nutrition: A formula suitable for continuous daily use to support the weight and overall health of small dogs.
