Choosing Royal Canin food for your puppy

Royal Canin organises much of its puppy range by expected adult weight rather than current weight. Use the table below to identify an appropriate starting point, then check the individual product’s age range, food format, complete or complementary status and feeding table. Breed-specific food should match the named breed, while Veterinary Health Nutrition products should only be used following a recommendation from a veterinary professional.

Royal Canin Veterinary Health Nutrition for puppies

Some Royal Canin Veterinary Health Nutrition products are formulated for puppies with particular diagnosed nutritional needs. They are not general alternatives to everyday puppy food and may have specific age, expected adult-weight or health restrictions. Only use the exact product recommended by a veterinary professional, follow its feeding instructions and ask your vet before changing to another formula.

Royal Canin Puppy Food FAQs

How do I know which Royal Canin puppy size range to choose?

Choose according to your puppy’s expected adult weight rather than their current weight. Royal Canin’s principal ranges are X-Small for dogs expected to weigh up to 4kg, Mini for approximately 4–10kg, Medium for 11–25kg, Maxi for 26–44kg and Giant for more than 45kg. Check the exact product criteria and ask your vet or breeder if you are uncertain about your puppy’s likely adult size.

Can a crossbreed puppy eat breed-specific Royal Canin food?

Breed-specific puppy foods are formulated for the breed named on the product. If your crossbreed does not have a matching product, a size-specific food based on their expected adult weight will usually provide a clearer starting point. The food must also match their age and any individual nutritional needs.

How much and how often should I feed my puppy?

Use the feeding table for the exact product and select the daily amount using your puppy’s age and expected adult weight. Divide this total between their meals rather than feeding the stated amount at every meal. Royal Canin generally advises three meals a day until around six months and two meals thereafter, but the product instructions and veterinary advice should take priority.

Can I feed my puppy Royal Canin wet and dry food together?

Yes, provided both products are suitable for your puppy’s age and expected adult size. Follow the mixed-feeding table where one is provided; do not give the full recommended daily amount of both foods. If either product is from the Veterinary Health Nutrition range, only use the combination approved by your vet.

When should my puppy move to Royal Canin adult food?

The timing depends on expected adult size and the particular product. X-Small and Mini puppies commonly move at around 10 months, Medium puppies at around 12 months and Maxi puppies at around 15 months. Giant Puppy normally changes to Giant Junior at about eight months before moving to Giant Adult at approximately 18–24 months. Check the exact product guidance and introduce the new food gradually.
