Royal Canin MINI Puppy 33 - During its first months of life, the MINI puppy experiences exceptionally fast growth. Its diet must therefore completely satisfy several requirements.
The Term “MINI” includes dogs weighing from one to 20 pounds when adult. Most of them were originally bred as hunting dogs but have now become popular pets. Their small size and their lively energetic character certainly explains their increasing success: they now account for approximately 35% of the American dog population.
Terriers and Dachshunds are skilled hunting dogs that have adapted well to city life, if they can get out frequently and use as much energy as they need to. The toy breeds are more suited to a sedentary lifestyle, but need careful attention, especially for their coat. Small breeds are also frequently fussy eaters. This behavoir is accentuated by their special requirements and the fact that owners often give them treats and table scraps which can lead to poor eating habits.
Fast Growth Formula - Meet the Intensive Growth Requirements of the Small Breed Puppy. Most of the growth of a small breed dog occurs in the first 6 months of life. On average, it gains 20 grams per day and after 10 months it has multiplied its birth weight by 20 times. Its food must therefore supply all the energy needed for this fast development. High fat and protein contents from chicken to ensure an optimal energy supply. A balanced calcium and phosphorus content for building a solid skeleton and healthy teeth.
Digestive Safety - Provide for the Digestive Sensitivity of the Small 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 small breed puppy is still delicate: a highly digestible food rich in proteins can help to prevent the appearance of disorders such as diarrhea. A unique combination of ingredients of mineral and vegetable origin (Chicory and Beet Pulp extracts), and a reduced starch level (less than 26%) coming purely from rice to guarantee maximum digestive safety.
Immunity Support - Complement the Fragile Immune System of the Small Breed Puppy. Puppies like to wander and chew everything they find. In doing so, they put their recently acquired immune system at risk. Mannan Oligosaccharides (yeast extracts) may help to build the puppy’s natural defenses by increasing the quantity of antibodies in a period of immune fragility and can help to promote the development of beneficial intestinal flora.
• Recommended for small breed puppies from 2 to 10 months of age.
