Description:
ROYAL CANIN® Medium Puppy is specially formulated to support the nutritional needs of medium-sized puppies. This formula is suitable for 2 to 12-month-old puppies that should reach an adult weight of 11-25 kg.
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.
A combination of beneficial prebiotics (such as FOS, MOS and beet pulp) and highly digestible proteins help support a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota (gut flora) for good digestion. The formula also contains an optimal energy content designed to satisfy the energy needs of growing, medium-sized puppies.
The kibble in ROYAL CANIN® Medium Puppy has been designed to be large enough to discourage gobbling, but not so big that a puppy becomes reluctant to eat. A mechanical brushing effect as your puppy chews helps to support dental health.
By the time your puppy reaches 12 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® Medium 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 Medium 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 Medium is formulated for medium puppies with a projected adult weight from 11-25kg. From 2 to 12 months old.
SHORT GROWTH
HIGH ENERGY CONTENT
Adapted energy, proteins, vitamins & minerals to support their intense growth period

ADAPTED KIBBLE SIZE
