Description

Large breed puppies face unique nutritional challenges. Their extended growth period (up to 15 months) means they need sustained, precisely balanced nutrition to support skeletal development without encouraging excess weight gain that could strain developing joints.

Royal Canin Maxi Puppy addresses these needs with controlled energy density, an optimised calcium-phosphorus ratio for bone mineralisation, and DHA for cognitive development. The scientifically proven antioxidant complex (vitamins E and C) supports immune health during the vulnerability gap when maternal antibodies are declining but the puppy's own immune system is still maturing.

Prebiotics (MOS) combined with highly digestible proteins establish a healthy intestinal microbiota from early life, promoting consistent stool quality and efficient nutrient absorption during this demanding growth phase.

Benefits

Strong Immune System: Supports the development of the puppy's healthy immune system with a scientifically proven antioxidant complex, including vitamins E and C.
Brain Development: Enriched with an omega-3 fatty acid (DHA), scientifically proven to support brain development and promote learning during early puppy training.
Microbiome Support: A combination of prebiotics (MOS) and highly digestible proteins promotes a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota for digestive health.
