General
Royal Canin MAXI Large Breed Puppy 32 - During their growth period, large breed puppies multiply their birth weight 70-90 times. They also need 14 to 18 months to fully develop. This longer growth period involves higher risks of bone or joint cartilage disorders. Large breed puppies require specifically adapted nutrition during their unique long growth cycle.
Feeding them a diet that is too high in energy can accelerate growth without allowing enough time for proper bone and skeletal development. They need a diet with a controlled amount of energy to limit rapid weight gain, with fructo-oligosaccharides (chicory extract) for optimal digestion and with balanced levels of calcium and phosphorus to promote optimal skeletal development.
The term “Maxi” includes dogs weighing from 55 to 100 pounds at adulthood. Most of them were originally bred as working dogs, and still today excel as sheep dogs, trackers, emergency rescue dogs, guard dogs or as guide dogs for the blind. They are faithful and affectionate and make ideal pets.
Long Growth Formula - Meets the Unique Growth Requirements of the Large Breed Puppy to Keep his Growth Rate Under Control. Up to the age of 15 months, large breed puppies will increase their birth weight by 70 times. Too much energy from fat can contribute to the acceleration of muscle and tissue development without corresponding skeletal growth. This imbalance can lead to potential skeletal problems.
Large Breed Puppies : Long Growth Under Careful Observation - Especially delicate, growth in large breed puppies lasts for 18 to 24 months while 8 to 10 is enough for a small breed puppy to become an adult. This long period involves high risks of bone or joint trouble that dietary unbalance or excess weight would worsen.
Digestive Safety - Provide for the Digestive Sensitivity of the Large Breed Puppy. The digestive capacities of the puppy develop with age, but rather slowly. Up to the age of three months, the digestion of the large breed puppy is still delicate. A highly digestible food rich in proteins can help to prevent the appearance of disorders such as diarrhea, with serious consequences that can include retarded growth.
Immunity Support - Complement the Fragile Immune System of the Large Breed Puppy. At weaning the puppy gradually loses the immunity transmitted by its mother. It therefore has to develop its own immune defenses through its first year of life, through contact with its environment and by means of vaccinations.
• For large breed puppies from 5 to 15 months of age.
