Royal Canin MINI Adult 27 dog food is formulated for small breed dogs (up to 20 pounds at adulthood) from 10 months to 8 years of age. MINI dogs are usually very active and playful, so they use a lot of energy. Thats why they need a suitable nutritional supply in carefully adapted amounts to stay fit. Balanced protein and fat levels provide optimal energy to maintain a healthy adult weight. This formula features a flavor combination that satisfies even the most demanding palate. Essential fatty acids, amino acids and vitamins combine to protect the coat. Sodium tripolyphosphate binds calcium in the saliva and may help reduce the formation of tartar.
