Description:
Growth is an essential stage in your puppy's life - it's the time of big changes and new discoveries. Throughout this crucial period, your large puppy needs a complete and balanced diet containing nutrients that support optimal and ongoing health as it continues to grow and develop.
ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy is specially formulated with the nutritional needs of your large puppy in mind. This food is suitable for large puppies from 2 to 15 months old that will have an adult weight of approximately 26kg-44kg.
This formula contains nutrients such as Vitamin C and E to help support the puppies’ natural defences while their immune systems are still developing. The formula is also enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) which have been scientifically proven to help support healthy brain development in puppies.
By the time your puppy reaches 15 months old, they will need a diet that’s specially adapted to meet their nutritional needs as a grown dog. At this stage, you can transition them onto ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Adult, available in both dry and wet varieties.
For nursing mothers, gestation and puppies under 2 months old, it is recommended to feed Royal Canin Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog Dry Dog Food

DID YOU KNOW EVERY SIZE OF PUPPY HAS THEIR OWN SPECIFIC NEEDS?
A Dachshund reaches adult-hood at 10 months, while a Great Dane puppy is still growing and developing for 22 months.
As your puppy develops, every tiny detail makes an enormous difference to their development. It’s vital to understand your puppy’s needs at every stage of growth. That’s why Royal Canin pays particular attention to ensure every bite is packed with tailored nutrients that are vital to support their delicate digestive and immune systems, and to help them build up strength.
ROYAL CANIN® Puppy Maxi is made for large dogs with a projected adult weight from 26-44kg. From 2 to 15 months old.
LONG GROWTH
MODERATE ENERGY
Adapted energy, proteins, vitamins & minerals to support their intense growth period
IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT
Immune system support thanks to specially selected antioxidants
DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Highly digestible protein and prebiotics to enhance their digestive health
ADAPTED KIBBLE SIZE
Long growth moderate energy
Meets the moderate energy needs of large breed puppies which have a long growth period.
Adapted kibble size – easy to chew
Jaw size also depends on the dog’s adult size. A medium breed sized kibble can generate chewing issue for small breed dogs and waste issues for giant breed dogs.
Highly digestible composition
Combination of nutrients with high quality protein (L.I.P.*) and prebiotics (FOS) to support digestive health and balance of intestinal flora.
Immune system support
Royal Canin Puppy helps support your puppy’s natural defences thanks to a complex of antioxidants including vitamin E.
Bone & joint support
Contributes to good bone mineralisation in giant breed puppies thanks to a balanced intake of energy and minerals (calcium and phosphorus ), thus supporting one consolidation and joints.

"Royal Canin"
Posted byBrendon Bateson16th Jul 2024Great product and swift delivery. My puppy always makes a bee-line for the kibble despite his dog roll being an alternative nutritious product. A dog’s olfactory instinct knows best!

"Royal Canin Maxi Dry Pup Food"
Posted byLorion5th Jul 2023Pups love this stuff and are doing so well on it. Delivery was super fast too. Very happy with it.
"Royal Canin Maxi Puppy Dry Dog Food"
Posted byAnthony Van Der Heydenon12th Nov 2022It does what it says on the packet. We were advised to use this by our breeder and it seems to be good so far even if the feeding instructions on the pack are obtuse. Best thing was last order we were getting a bit low before the auto-order was due to send, I pushed the order through around 7am and the bag arrived mid morning the same day. Can't be unhappy with that.
"Humm and Arrh"
Posted byVeronica Hiskenson8th Jun 2022Seems that peach isn’t to keen on these humm and arrhs about them but eventually eats.
