Royal Canin Jack Russell Puppy Dry Dog Food - limited

The Jack Russell Terrier packs remarkable muscle and athleticism into a compact frame, and this body is built during a short but intense growth phase. Royal Canin Jack Russell Puppy provides the precisely balanced intake of energy, protein, calcium and phosphorus that supports harmonious skeletal and muscular development without promoting excess weight.

Jack Russell puppies are famously energetic. They rarely slow down, which translates to higher calorie demands than many similarly sized small breed puppies. The formula's adapted energy content meets these needs while highly digestible proteins selected for very high digestibility (L.I.P.) ensure that the puppy extracts maximum nutrition from every meal, supporting both the physical demands of growth and the energy expenditure of a constantly active terrier.

Immune system development is supported by a complex of antioxidants including vitamin E, helping to strengthen the puppy's natural defences during the vulnerable transition period as maternal antibody protection fades. This coincides with the socialisation phase when curious, fearless Jack Russell puppies are encountering new environments, other animals and potential pathogens.

Digestive health is maintained through a combination of prebiotics (FOS) and the L.I.P. proteins, promoting a healthy balance of intestinal flora and contributing to good stool quality. This is important for a breed whose high activity and fast eating habits can sometimes challenge the digestive system.

Available in 1.5 kg and 3 kg bags. Transition to Royal Canin Jack Russell Adult at around 10 months over 7 days.

Why does my Jack Russell puppy need breed-specific food?

Jack Russell Terriers have an intense, compressed growth phase and exceptionally high energy levels for their size. Their formula provides adapted energy and nutrient levels calibrated for this breed's specific growth pattern and activity demands, which a generic small breed puppy food does not address.

My Jack Russell puppy never stops moving. Does this food provide enough energy?

Yes. The formula accounts for the Jack Russell's characteristically high activity level with adapted energy content. However, if your puppy seems underweight despite eating recommended portions, consult your veterinarian for guidance on adjusting amounts.

When should I switch to adult food?

Transition to Royal Canin Jack Russell Adult at around 10 months, gradually over 7 days.
