Royal Canin Mini Adult (8+) 2kg

At the age of 8 years, a small dog is not yet old, but will show the first signs of ageing. To keep your dog fit for as long as possible, its diet will have to be adjusted to take account of the specific symptoms of old age (such as low intestinal motility, vulnerable kidneys, joint pain, etc). Royal Canin Mini Adult 8+ dry dog food caters to the unique characteristics of adult dogs of small breeds (1 – 10kg) from 8 years: Fights symptoms of old age: a synergistic complex of anti-oxidants (vitamins C and E, polyphenols from grapes and green tea) alleviates oxidative stress and may thus fight symptoms of old age. Vitamin C: this oxidation inhibitor works its effect in the spaces between cells and, amongst other benefits, supports the regeneration of vitamin E, which may then launch another attack against free radicals. Although dogs are able to synthesize vitamin C, a supplement helps greatly to fight oxidative stress. Vitamin E: this vitamin protects the cell structures from attacks by free radicals. Numerous studies on humans have proved the significance of vitamin E for the prevention of certain illnesses. Polyphenols from grapes and green tea: these work their antioxidant effect within cells by protecting the DNA of the cell nucleus. With the help of polyphenols, ageing of the cells, the risk of cancer, heart and circulatory diseases and infections may be reduced.

Enhanced palatability: carefully selected nutrients and natural flavours ensure maximum acceptance. Special texture, shape and size of kibble help satisfy even fussy appetites
