Fat
One in three small dogs are overweight, which can lead to health problems and reduce lifespan. Royal Canin Small Weight Care adult dry dog food offers tailored nutrition specifically designed to assist smaller breed dogs in maintaining a healthy weight. The ideal fiber blend helps the animal feel satisfied quickly while L-Carnitine boosts fat metabolism for maximum benefits.
Chicken meal is the primary protein source, providing high levels while keeping calorie consumption to a minimum. Corn gluten meal, made from the rubbery residue left behind when most starchy carbs have been extracted from corn, adds more protein but lacks many essential amino acids. Barley provides energy while offering plenty of fibre; additionally it has a lower glycemic index than other grains which may help manage blood sugar levels in some dogs.
Fibre
One of the primary health problems facing small dogs is being overweight. Being obese puts strain on joints and can lead to other problems; therefore, weight control dog food contains drastically reduced fat content to keep your pet trim and healthy. Furthermore, this food also features balanced ratios of both insoluble and soluble fibres that keep them feeling full between meals. Finally, Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory actions.
Barley and rice, two starchy carbohydrates that provide energy to your dog, have lower glycemic index ratings than corn-based pet food products. Powdered cellulose is an indigestible plant fiber created as byproducts from vegetable processing; however, it offers no nutritional benefit to your pup. Finally, vitamins such as niacin, biotin, and riboflavin complete this nutritional mix.
Vitamins & Minerals
Royal Canin understands the science of managing your dog’s weight begins with nutrition. Their team of veterinarians and nutritionists create formulas tailored specifically to each of your pup’s individual care needs, taking every detail into consideration in crafting custom diets tailored specifically for him or her.

This adult diet for small breed dogs (9 to 22 lb) that have a tendency to gain weight features a perfect blend of fibers that will make your pet feel satisfied while supporting optimal body condition and muscle mass development. Furthermore, its tailored protein content promotes optimal metabolism for optimal pet health.
Even though this food provides essential nutrition for dogs, some ingredients, such as hydrolyzed animal proteins and corn gluten meal may raise concerns given its price point. Though not considered harmful by animal welfare officials, such ingredients do raise eyebrows when considering its price point.
