Dog Food Nutrition - Royal Canin Puppy Maxi 32 Large Breed

Royal Canin Maxi 32 Large Breed Puppy Food

Your large breed puppy requires specifically adapted nutrition to meet a unique long growth cycle (up to 18 months). Royal Canin Large Breed PuppyTM formula contains the optimal amount of high quality proteins, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals to fulfill your large breed puppy's unique nutritional requirements.

Important Information:

During their growth period, large breed puppies multiply their birth weight 70-90 times. They also need 14 to 18 months to fully develop. This longer growth period involves higher risks of bone or joint cartilage disorders. Large breed puppies require specifically adapted nutrition during their unique long growth cycle. Feeding them a diet that is too high in energy can accelerate growth without allowing enough time for proper bone and skeletal development. They need a diet with a controlled amount of energy to limit rapid weight gains, with fructo-oligosaccharides (chicory extract) for optimal skeletal development.
