Royal Canin Medium Puppy

Royal Canin Medium Puppy is a specially formulated dry dog food designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of medium-sized puppies (from 2 to 12 months of age). This formula supports the healthy growth, development, and overall well-being of puppies that will reach an adult weight of 11 to 25 kg (24 to 55 lbs).

Key Features & Benefits:

1. Supports Growth and Development

   • Optimal Protein and Fat Levels: Medium-sized puppies experience rapid growth, and their nutritional needs differ from small or large breeds. This formula provides a balanced level of protein (about 28%) and fat to support both growth and energy requirements during the crucial early months.
   • DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid): DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain and eye development, which is vital for cognitive function and vision in growing puppies.

2. Immune System Support

   • Antioxidant Complex: The food contains a blend of antioxidants, including vitamins E and C, that help support the immune system during this vulnerable stage of growth.
   • Prebiotics (MOS and FOS): These prebiotics help promote a healthy gut microbiome, supporting digestion and immune health. A strong immune system is crucial in puppies, who are still developing their natural defenses.

3. Digestive Health

   • Highly Digestible Proteins and Fiber: Royal Canin Medium Puppy includes easily digestible protein sources (like chicken) and a blend of fibers (including beet pulp) to support healthy digestion. This helps puppies absorb nutrients more efficiently and results in better stool quality.
   • L.I.P. (Low Indigestible Protein): This technology is used to ensure optimal digestibility and reduce the risk of digestive upset in puppies with sensitive stomachs.

4. Healthy Bone and Joint Development

   • Balanced Calcium and Phosphorus Levels: These minerals are essential for the proper development of strong bones and a healthy skeleton. Medium-sized puppies grow quickly, and proper bone development is key to preventing orthopedic issues later in life.
   • Glucosamine and Chondroitin: These ingredients support joint health by promoting cartilage development, which is especially important in medium-sized breeds that are prone to joint problems as they age.

5. Skin and Coat Health

   • Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids: The formula contains essential fatty acids (like DHA, EPA) that promote a healthy coat and skin. These are important for medium-sized puppies, as they can be prone to skin sensitivities and coat issues as they grow.

6. Tailored Kibble Size and Shape

   • Kibble Design for Medium-Sized Puppies: The kibble is specially designed for medium-sized puppies to encourage chewing and support dental health. The size, shape, and texture of the kibble also help puppies to easily pick up and eat the food.

Ingredients:

Royal Canin Medium Puppy typically includes:

• Chicken meal (or another source of high-quality animal protein)
• Rice and corn for digestible carbohydrates
• Beet pulp for fiber to support digestion

• Puppies with sensitive digestion, or those needing a highly digestible diet.
• Puppies with a need for joint support, especially during their rapid growth phase.
• Active puppies that require more energy for development and play.

Feeding Guidelines:

Feeding amounts depend on the puppy's age, weight, and activity level. Royal Canin provides specific guidelines on the packaging, but generally, you’ll want to feed several smaller meals per day to support steady growth and energy levels.
