Royal Canin MINI Canine Health Nutrition Beauty 26 (5 lbs.)
For a small breed dog, beauty is often inextricably linked to coat quality. The longer and thicker the coat, the more daily maintenance is required. Coat length, color intensity, softness and shine are among the essential criteria for evaluation and selection at dog shows.Natural Color FaceEnhance the Intensity of the Coat's Natural Pigmentation for the Small Breed Adult DogThe coat color is genetically determined and is related to the presence of two types of melanin pigments: eumelanin and phaeomelanin contained in the hair. These are produced by cells called "melanocytes" that occur in each hair strand. In addition to these complex phenomena, color variations can result from differences in the size, concentration and mixture of these pigments. MINI BEAUTY 26 contains Natural Color Force: a unique and exclusive complex of nutrients, including Tyrosine, that enhance the intensity of the natural pigmentation of your dog's hair. Now, the diet can bring out the full potential of its coat color. Hair Micro NutritionDeeply Nourish the Coat for the Small Breed Adult DogThe coat is a complex living organism that should be nourished accordingly. Hair is composed of 95% protein, and very precise nutritional supplies are required to maintain health and beauty. Nutrient deficiencies can lead to dryness, slowed growth and brittle lifeless hair. MINI BEAUTY 26T deeply nourishes the coat with a precise combination of targeted micro-nutrients: vitamins, essential fatty acids, amino acids and chelated trace elements. Sensitive Skin Strengthen the Skin's Barrier Role and Ensure a Beautiful Coat for the Small Breed DogThe epidermis forms a barrier that reduces water loss from the body and prevents allergens from entering. This barrier role depends on the presence of ceramides, lipids that form a "cement" effect holding the cells of the epidermis together. MINI BEAUTY 26 strengthens the skin's barrier" with a combination of vitamins and amino acids that increase ceramide synthesis and strengthen the cohesion of the skin's cells. This barrier also reduces skin dehydration. For Optimal Dental Hygiene Because the small breed dog has small delicate jaws, it has increased mouth and tooth sensitivity related to dental plaque deposits and tartar formation. This results in an inflammation of the gums, or even loosening of the teeth and bad breath. Moreover, because small breed dogs are long-lived, dental plaque deposition accentuates with age.Tartar reduction is an innovation that helps preserve dental hygiene. MINI BEAUTY 26 kibbles have this benefit: their texture has been specially designed to produce a brushing effect, reducing dental plaque formation. This formula also includes captors, which by trapping the calcium present in the saliva, slows tartar development.

Royal Canin MINI Canine Health Nutrition Chihuahua 28 (3 lbs.)
Recommended for Adult and Mature Chihuahuas Over Eight Months of AgeGuaranteed to be exceptionally tasty.Because they are sensitive or simply fussy, some chihuahuas are picky or will refuse to eat their food.

Although it only produces a small amount of feces, it is important to limit the unpleasant smells caused by this type of lifestyle.Chihuahua 28 reduces the quantities and the odors of the stools by means of fructo-oligo-saccharides that help maintain a balanced intestinal flora, rice, as the most digestible source of starch, insoluble minerals to protect the intestinal mucosae, and very high quality proteins.Tartar Reduction: For optimal dental hygiene.Because the chihuahua has small delicate jaws, it has increased mouth and tooth sensitivity related to dental plaque deposits and tartar formation. This results in an inflammation of the gums, or even loosening of the teeth. Moreover, because chihuahuas are long-lived, dental plaque deposition accentuates with age.Tartar Reduction is an innovation that helps bucco-dental hygiene.

Royal Canin MINI Canine Health Nutrition Dachshund 28 (3 lbs.)
The Dachshund is the only breed to have a dedicated group within the World Canine Organization. Dachshunds come in three different sizes, with one of three different types of coat: shorthaired, longhaired and wirehaired. The special physiology of the Dachshund, such as its characteristic body shape and very short legs make it a very unusual breed that needs special attention, especially in terms of its nutrition.Joint MaintenanceThe Dachshund is well known for sensitive joints, with very short, bowed legs. The cartilage of long bones ossifies prematurely, causing leg growth to end early. Dachshund 28 provides support for joints and optimum irrigation of cartilage through the inclusion of chondroitin and glucosamine, and EPA/DHA which have well known anti-inflammatory properties. Muscle Mass and Toning Your Dachshund has vertebrae which are subjected to heavy mechanical strain on a daily basis. His popularity owes much to his characteristic body shape and very short legs. However the shorter an animal's legs, the less ability they have to absorb shock.Dachshund 28 provides nutritional support for the backbone by helping to maintain muscle tone and optimum healthy body weight with a high protein diet that contains only 14% fat. The addition of conjugated linoleic acid helps preserve muscle tone at the expense of fatty cells and L-carnitine is added to help the body metabolize fat. Combat Aging EffectsBecause Dachshunds are so long lived, you may gradually notice some signs of aging: loss of energy, a dull coat and even the appearance of white hairs. Dachshund 28 helps to slow the effects of aging with a synergistic complex of antioxidants which reduce oxidation stress and green tea polyphenols which have increased antioxidant properties. Dachshund 28T also combats digestive sensitivities which are linked to aging. For Optimal Dental HygieneTartar reduction helps maintain correct bucco-dental hygiene. DACHSHUND 28 kibbles have a specially designed texture that produces a brushing effect which results in the reduction of dental plaque formation. DACHSHUND 28 also includes chelating agents that slow tartar development by fixing the calcium present in the saliva.

Because he only stays indoors, your dog's daily energy output may be very low. This indoor lifestyle and lower activity level can increase the risk of obesity in the small breed dog, who is already predisposed to extra weight gain. Lack of exercise can also slow intestinal transit, contributing to poor digestive health.High Digestibility Contains Highly Digestible Proteins for the Small Breed Adult Dog The small breed dog has a lower capacity to digest proteins than dogs of other sizes. Their sometimes sedentary lifestyle is also a factor contributing to constipation and intestinal fermentation. Proper nutrition is important to increase the digestive performance of small breed dogs.MINI INDOOR ADULT 21 contains hyper-digestible L.I.P.

Body Condition Promotes an Ideal Bodyweight for the Small Breed Adult Dog The small breed dog is genetically predisposed to being overweight. This phenomenon is accentuated nowadays by its increasingly sedentary lifestyle. This means it has a reduced level of activity and expends less energy. In order to maintain good health in your dog, it is important to moderate calorie intake. MINI INDOOR ADULT 21 provides an appropriate balance between calorie intake and the actual energy requirements of a small breed dog. This low fat diet can help to prevent the risk of obesity and maintain optimal body weight with the addition of L-Carnitine, which burns fat and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), which preserve lean muscle tissue. Tartar Reduction Supports Healthy Oral Hygiene for the Small Breed Dog Because the small breed dog has small jaws, it has increased bucco-dental sensitivity caused by the deposit of dental plaque and tartar formation. This results in inflamed gums, or even loosening of the teeth and bad breath. MINI INDOOR ADULT 21 contains Tartar Reduction, an innovation that helps to maintain good bucco-dental hygiene. The texture of the kibbles has been specially designed to produce a brushing effect reducing the formation of dental plaque. These nutrients also include captors, which trap calcium present in the saliva and slow tartar development. For Odor ReductionFecal smells result from the presence of about 200 volatile compounds. These compounds are formed during bacterial breakdown of the contents in the large intestines.MINI INDOOR ADULT 21 stimulates the good digestive flora, helps to protect the intestinal mucosa, absorbs toxins and contributes to the reduction of stool odors.
