Royal Canin Size Health Nutrition Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food Directions:
- The below feeding recommendation should only be used as a guide
- Optimal Feeding amounts may vary according to your dog’s temperament, activity level, and environment
- If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
- Ensure fresh drinking water is available to your pet at all times.
- Kibble color may vary due to natural ingredients.
- Slowly moving your pet onto a new food over at least 7 days is recommended to ensure their comfort and help them adapt to their new food.
- Transition Instructions: On Day 1 and Day 2, mix 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively.
Given their small size, consider breaking down the kibble into smaller, bite-sized pieces to make it easier for your small breed adult dog to eat. You can achieve this by crushing the dry kibble with the back of a spoon or by using a food processor to grind it into smaller pieces. This not only helps prevent choking hazards but also makes mealtime more manageable for your petite pup. Additionally, offering smaller pieces encourages slower eating, aiding in digestion and reducing the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort
