Maintaining healthy joint cartilage and optimal digestive function are top concerns for maturing large breed dogs (over 5 years of age). A diet with glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and an optimal amino-acid profile will continue to help maintain large breed mature dogs health and vitality. It is important that their diet contain not more than 0.6% of phosphorus for proper renal functioning, and should be fortified with chicory extracts to help maintain optimal digestive function resulting in small, firm stools.

The ethos of the Royal Canin brand is based on its unique vision of the dog and the cat: The conviction that dogs and cats are not human beings but animals, and as a result true respect obliges us to treat them as such. True respect implies certain obligations, one of which is the pursuit of knowledge. To truly know the animal and understand its specific physiological and nutritional requirements, and--in consequence--guarantee it a "tailor made" food in line with its real nutritional needs. Royal Canin's philosophy is therefore deliberately non-anthropomorphic. In the field of canine and feline nutrition, some manufacturers put the owners first and use them as the basis of all innovation. At Royal Canin, we put the dog and the cat at the heart of our research process; this is a radically different approach.
