At 8 years old, a small dog is not yet elderly, but will start to show the first signs of aging. To keep your dog in the best possible condition for as long as possible, you need to adapt their food according to the specific symptoms of aging (slow intestinal tract, sensitive kidneys, joint pain, etc.). In addition, it is important that food for small dogs is adapted to their physiological characteristics - jaw size, bone structure, digestive system, and energy requirements. Royal Canin knows how important it is to have your four-legged companion by your side for as long as possible, which is why it has developed food adapted to these needs.
Royal Canin Mini Adult dry food is formulated according to these special characteristics of adult small breed dogs (1 - 10 kg) from 8 years old and up.

Feeding recommendation
Royal Canin Mini Breed Starter Mother & Babydog is a complete food for puppies and pregnant bitches.
Medium-sized dogs are often more robust and agile than other dogs. They have a wide range of activities, they can be quiet family dogs or high-performance dogs. Family dogs tend to gain weight and need a carefully measured amount of food, while performance dogs (e.g., hunting or racing dogs) have high energy requirements. Dogs that rummage through bushes, play in the water, etc., need extra protection for their skin and coat.
Medium-sized dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors are more prone to infections and need a strong immune system.
Royal Canin Medium Puppy dry food is designed according to the special characteristics of growing medium-sized dogs (11 - 25 kg) over 2 months old.
Ingredients: poultry protein (dried), animal fats, maize, vegetable protein isolate*, dried beet pulp, whole wheat flour, rice, animal protein (hydrolysed), wheat, maize flour, fish oil, yeast, soya oil, minerals, fructo-oligo-saccharides (0.34 %), yeast hydrolysate (source of mannan-oligosaccharides), yeast extract (source of beta-glucans), marigold meal (source of lutein).
* L.I.P.: specially selected, easily digestible proteins with high biological value.
Large dogs have a relatively small digestive system and, therefore, reduced digestive capacity. Their intestinal walls are more permeable than those of small breed dogs, allowing a larger amount of water to pass through them and thus into the fecal matter. Overly intense bacterial fermentation in the colon can cause flatulence in large dogs.
Due to their unique characteristics, large breed dogs not only have a delicate digestive system but also sensitive joints. Excessive physical activity, especially in young dogs, can cause bone and joint problems.
Only a special, easily digestible food can be suitable for this type of dog: Royal Canin Maxi Adult food for large breed dogs (26 - 45 kg) over 15-18 months.
Ingredients: poultry protein (dried), corn, corn flour, animal fat, wheat, pork protein (dried), rice, animal protein (hydrolyzed), corn gluten, beet pulp, minerals, fish oil, soybean oil, yeasts, hydrolysed crustaceans (source of glucosamine), hydrolysed cartilage (source of chondroitin). Additives
During gestation and lactation, female dogs need food specially adapted to their needs during this difficult period. Puppies growing over 4 weeks need additional food to support their development. Royal Canin Mini Starter Mother & Babydog with Start Complex is specially designed for pregnant dogs and small puppies.
Royal Canin Mini Starter Mother & Babydog:
Food with an adjusted energy and nutrient content
For pregnant and lactating dogs
For weaning puppies over 4 weeks old
The weight and size of a pregnant dog will increase significantly in the last 3-4 weeks of pregnancy, and she will need more food. Offer her several small portions a day as pregnancy prevents her from eating a lot at once.
During lactation, female dogs need a sufficient amount of food and plenty of water for milk production. A large amount of food will prevent weight loss. Regardless of the size of the litter, a lactating dog needs 2-3 times more energy. Therefore, she needs food with an appropriate caloric and nutrient content.
Puppies can be fed semi-solid food from the age of 3-4 weeks. Puppies are now developed enough to need less maternal milk and more solid food. Puppies will mimic their mother's eating habits. At the same time, the mother's energy needs will decrease, and she will need less food.
Ingredients:
poultry protein (dried), rice, animal fats, vegetable protein isolate*, corn, dried beet pulp, animal protein (hydrolyzed), minerals, fish oil, soy oil, fructo-oligo-saccharides, yeast hydrolyzate (source of mannan-oligosaccharides), butyrate, yeast extract (source of beta-glucans), marigold flower meal (source of lutein).

The Rottweiler is an athletic dog with strong jaws, making it the ideal guard dog. It has a short, black coat with partial brown undercoat, giving it a unique, attractive appearance. Rottweilers love children and are friendly, affectionate, and obedient, making them ideal family dogs. Confident and fearless, these dogs are always very aware of everything around them.
Rottweilers reach maturity at approximately 18 months. To ensure the health of their muscles and joints, their food must be selected according to the nutritional requirements of the breed. Vitamins, nutrients, and a special formula contribute to heart health and strengthening.
Royal Canin Breed Rottweiler Adult was developed according to the characteristics and requirements of this breed.

The German Shepherd is a noble, highly versatile dog. There are many reasons why the German Shepherd ranks among the top dog breeds, but experts consider the most important attribute of this breed to be its character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn and retain commands for a large number of specialized activities, as well as these dogs' capacity to risk their lives to protect loved ones. With proper training and socialization, German Shepherds make wonderful family pets, as well as tireless guardians of loved ones. All these qualities make the German Shepherd one of the best service dogs: guide dog, rescue dog, police dog, or guard dog.
In any of these roles, the immune system is highly stressed. The German Shepherd belongs to a group of breeds that have a reduced concentration of Immunoglobulin A, which means they have an increased risk of infections. Among blood coagulation-related diseases are von Willebrand's disease, hemophilia A, and the more severe hemophilia B.
German Shepherds are known for their digestive problems, especially chronic diarrhea caused by food intolerances, colitis (inflammatory bowel disease), hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or pancreatic insufficiency. Due to a sensitive digestive tract, the food for these dogs must be rich in easily digestible proteins for high acceptance and optimal digestion.
Regarding bone conditions, it is quite common for German Shepherds to suffer from hip or elbow dysplasia, which can cause them pain as they age and can even lead to arthritis.
Ingredients

The French Bulldog is an extremely affectionate, intelligent, and playful dog. They may seem stubborn and grumpy at first, but upon closer inspection, you'll discover a sensitive and charming dog. They are muscular and agile. Their compact body with well-defined muscles gives them their unique appearance, but also means their joints are sensitive and require extra protection. The shape of their head can make breathing difficult, hindering oxygen intake in certain parts of the body. This can cause, for example, flatulence.
These dogs have developed a special way of eating due to the shape of their heads with small jaws - something to consider when feeding them.

Essential fatty acids and biotin support coat health.
The Maltese has a small jaw with small teeth that need protection. Dental health can best be promoted by special food kibbles.
