Every dog is different. That's why there is a range of various dog food available to us. Some of our dogs turn their noses up at even the finest quality vet food, yet manage to devour some of the supermarket brands.

This common problem has been addressed with Royal Canin's Breed Health Nutrition products. By adding some of the best protein sources, unique nutrients, and breed specific kibbles, Royal Canin caters directly for your favourite friend's refined palate!

Lets examine some of the great food options available to your breed:

Royal Canin Maxi Labrador Retriever Why is it great? Well Labradors are known for their lovely golden coats but are prone to a little weight gain. Royal Canin addresses this issue by helping maintain the Labrador Retriever’s ideal weight with an specially formulated calorie content and doughnut shaped kibble to help them look at their shiny best, at the perfect weight!

The kibble shape reduces the amount of food intake at feeding times whilst the special formula of food helps support healthy bones and maintains them at a great weight, reducing stress on the joints. In addition the food is enriched with EPA, DHA, chondroitin and glucosamine which helps support their joints in case your furry friend is carrying a little extra meat on his bones!

Royal Canin Maxi German Shepherd Why is it great? So he may be a big bad police dog, but German Shepherds can be sensitive dogs with sensitive stomachs. That's why Royal Canin has created Royal Canin Maxi German Shepherd which is specially formulated with highly digestible L.I.P. proteins and a selection of specific fibres to limit intestinal fermentation, while promoting a balance in the intestinal flora.

Additionally, Royal Canin have packed this food with added chondroitin, glucosamine, EPA & DHA, the formula supports healthy bones & joints, as German Shepherds are known for their sensitive joints.

German Shepherds are actually at risk for a potentially deadly condition called "bloat", which can be brought on by eating too fast. So, Royal Canin’s specialized German Shepherd kibbles are “X” shaped, which helps to slow down your doggy’s rate of consumption – no more gobbling!

Royal Canin Maxi Bulldog Why is it great? Well If you own a bulldog, you know a little something about how cute they can be, but at same time a little gassy would you say?! Egg and soy are both very digestible proteins, so they’ve been used to prevent the frequent flatulence. Royal Canin have also added extra Omega 3 fatty acids in this special formula to help keep your Bulldog’s wrinkly skin soft and supple.

Because Bulldog’s have flat little faces, the kibble has been designed to make it easier for young pups to pick up. Royal Canin’s wave-shaped bulldog kibbles make this formula easier for hungry bullies with their brachycephalic jaw structure to enjoy.

Royal Canin Mini Dachshund Why is it great? The rather long frame that makes the dachshund so cute also contributes to their susceptibility to skeletal issues. Royal Canin has added extra Glucosamine and chondroitin to this food to support bone and joint health. And because these little guys tend to live longer lives, the nutrient balance of Royal Canin’s Dachshund food contain aging care ingredients.

Royal Canin's Dachshund kibble is specially designed to reduce tartar formation thanks to the calcium binding agents, supporting these little guy's dental health. It also is specially designed to encourage Dachshunds to chew their food.

Royal Canin Mini Yorkshire Terrier Why is it great? Royal Canin has made a food here that satisfied even the most fussy of eaters by including a multitude of great flavours and aromas. This exclusive formula also contributes to maintaining the excellent health of their long coats with the adapted content of Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA), Omega 6 fatty acids, borage oil and biotin.

Special Yorkies are treated with a special formula which is a perfect size for little jaws. The texture of each morsel helps to gently remove tartar build up.

Royal Canin Maxi Boxer Why is it great? Boxers are known to have heart problems. However with added taurine, L-carnitine, EPA & DHA this dog food helps heart muscles work more efficiently. Since Boxers are such energetic and playful dogs, this dry dog food contributes to maintaining muscle mass thanks to the perfect balance of protein and fat so that your best friend will be able to run and play without worrying about his weight!

Like Bulldogs, this kibble comes in an wave-shape, exclusively designed to make it easier to pick up, encouraging him to chew!
