Excess weight can be harmful to your dog's health, lessening his enjoyment in life and possibly even shortening his/her life. Royal Canin Mini Breed Weight Care Dog 28 dry dog food addresses the health needs of small breed dogs that are overweight. The factors that can lead to excess weight gain in small breed dogs include an unsuitable diet and genetic predisposition. The signs of excess weight are several. They include the appearance of fat over the ribs, back, and base of the tail; flabbiness; intolerance to exercise and heat; and breathlessness. A low-calorie food is essential for maintaining ideal weight. To lose weight correctly, a small breed dog must stimulate the use of its fat reserves. The well balanced diet of Royal Canin Mini Breed Weight Care Dog 28 can help achieve this. Optimal levels of protein and fat meet reduced energy requirements and help maintain muscle mass. The amino acid L-carnitine may play an active role in fat metabolization. With a flavor combination that satisfies even the most demanding palate, with a specialized kibble that limits the formation of dental plaque and tartar for better overall dental health. This diet is for overweight small breed adult dogs up to 20 pounds who are from 11 months to 8 years of age.

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.
