Complete feed for dogs - Specially for adult and mature Chihuahuas - Over 8 months old.
Supports dental health with calcium chelators, delivers high palatability for fussy eaters and reduces stool volume and odour.
The Chihuahua is the world's smallest dog breed, but its nutritional needs are anything but simple. With a metabolic rate per kilogram that exceeds most other breeds and a lifespan that can reach 18 to 20 years, adult Chihuahuas need a formula that delivers concentrated, complete nutrition over the long term. Royal Canin Chihuahua Adult is designed for exactly this purpose.
Dental health is a primary concern for this breed. The Chihuahua's tiny jaw houses a full set of adult teeth in a fraction of the space available to larger breeds. This overcrowding creates pockets where plaque and tartar accumulate rapidly, leading to periodontal disease that can affect overall health. The formula includes calcium chelators that bind calcium in saliva before it can mineralise into tartar, providing a nutritional line of defence with every meal.
Palatability is carefully engineered for the Chihuahua's well-known selectiveness. The combination of an ultra-small kibble suited to their bite, an exclusive formulation, and selected flavour profiles consistently delivers high acceptance rates. This addresses a common owner frustration where Chihuahuas refuse or pick at meals, leading to inconsistent nutrition.
The formula's high digestibility means more nutrients are absorbed and less waste is produced. This translates to reduced stool volume and less odour, a practical benefit for a breed that is overwhelmingly kept as an indoor companion. Glucosamine and chondroitin support the small joints that carry this breed through its characteristically long life.
