Royal Canin Maxi Adult Dog 5+ Dry Dog Food

Large breed dogs age faster than smaller breeds. From around 5 years, they begin showing subtle signs of maturity — slightly less energy, stiffer movement after rest, and a digestive system that is less efficient at extracting nutrients. Royal Canin Maxi Adult 5+ is formulated to address these changes proactively.

The formula is enriched with EPA, DHA and a tailored vitamin blend to support continued vitality. Targeted minerals and joint-supporting nutrients help maintain mobility in dogs carrying 26–44 kg on their frame. Highly digestible proteins and balanced fibres ensure maximum nutrient extraction even as digestive efficiency naturally declines.

This proactive nutritional approach helps mature large breed dogs maintain their quality of life, energy and comfort for longer.

• Lifelong Vitality Support: Enriched with essential nutrients including EPA, DHA and vitamins to support continued energy and vitality in mature large breed dogs.
• Bone and Joint Support: Supports healthy bones and joints through a combination of minerals and nutrients, helping maintain mobility and comfort in dogs carrying significant body weight.
• Digestive Health: Highly digestible proteins and a balanced supply of fibres promote efficient digestion, important as digestive efficiency naturally declines with age.
