No matter what age they are, larger dogs have very different nutritional needs compared to smaller dogs. This means they need a size-specific tailored diet to help support them throughout the latter stages of adulthood.
For dogs over 5 years old, Royal Canin® Maxi Adult 5+ is a nutritionally complete and balanced formula specially designed to meet your large dog’s particular needs and support them throughout their later adult years. Larger dogs, with their extended digestive transit time, are more susceptible to digestive sensitivities compared to smaller breeds. This kibble contains highly digestible proteins and a balanced supply of fibres to help promote good digestive health.
Larger dogs typically weigh between 26 and 44kg and place the majority of their body weight on their joints. This formula is specially crafted with a combination of minerals and nutrients to help support healthy bones and joints. Your adult dog requires specific nutrients to help maintain their overall health. Crafted with a complex of essential vitamins, this formula is designed to help maintain your adult dog’s vitality.
Considering the distinct jaw structure of larger breeds, our kibble’s unique size and shape mean it’s adapted to fit your adult dog’s jaw and helps encourage them to chew their food properly. Our team of scientists create formulas tailored to your adult dog’s specific nutritional needs, using high-quality nutrients and keeping sustainability in mind.

Very happy dogs and owner - thank you
We purchased due to wanting to have options to feed should supply issues appear. Both dogs enjoyed this option…the bag is huge so great value. We will switch around with other kibble (we had drama during lockdown so decided to always feed variety). Will definitely buy again :-)
Wolfie gives it 5 stars. The first time she’s ever gone looking for her food in the spare room. Been caught having a sniff several times now
Have fed our Huntaway Collie x this for about 3 years now, it’s great. No issues at all.
