Breed Specific Formulas
Every dog is unique. From the small, flat-faced Pug to the obesity-prone Labrador Retriever, ROYAL CANIN® Breed Health Nutrition is tailor-made to address the unique needs of pure breed dogs. These breed specific formulas benefit from the latest ROYAL CANIN® research on the selection of the best protein sources, unique nutrients and tailor-made kibbles.
Formulated for Labrador Retrievers
ROYAL CANIN® Labrador Retriever Adult Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed Labrador Retrievers over 15-months of age.
Ideal weight: Labrador Retrievers have a legendary appetite. As a result, they need a carefully controlled diet to avoid becoming overweight. This formula helps maintain an ideal weight with an adapted calorie content.
Bone & joint health: As very active dogs, Labrador Retrievers give their all. Their solid body, strong bones and natural predisposition to gain weight are some of the factors that can put stress on their joints. ROYAL CANIN® Labrador Retriever Adult Dry Dog Food helps support healthy bones and joints with added EPA & DHA.
Healthy skin & coat: Appropriate food plays an important part in maintaining the quality of the skin and coat. This formula helps support the skin's role as a barrier with a tailored nutrient profile, and helps maintain skin and coat health with added EPA and DHA.
Exclusive Kibble: Labrador Retrievers tend to eat quickly without chewing their food. The donut-shaped kibble in ROYAL CANIN® Labrador Retriever Adult Dry Dog Food helps to slow the rate of ingestion and encourages dogs to chew.
Why Pure Breed Dogs Need Tailored Nutrition
From their personalities to their distinctive physiologies, pure breed dogs have unique characteristics that make them sought-after and beloved companions. When choosing a diet for your pet, it's important to keep in mind the unique characteristics of their breed including:
Face and Jaw: All dogs fall into two basic jaw types: Brachycephalic or Mesocephalic. Breeds with short, broad muzzles (like Bulldogs) are examples of a brachycephalic jaw. Breeds with a longer muzzle (like Labrador Retrievers) are examples of mesocephalic breeds. The jaw type, and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble. All ROYAL CANIN® breed diets feature a tailor-made kibble shape to meet their unique needs.
Skin Types: The skin's most important function is to serve as a barrier of protection - but not all breeds have the same skin type. From wrinkled and folded (which traps heat and moisture) to sensitive or water resistant, precise levels of key nutrients are included in ROYAL CANIN® breed diets to help support their unique skin health needs.
Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From the colour and texture to undercoats, each pure breed dog has a unique coat with unique needs which are catered for with ROYAL CANIN® breed diets.
