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
