Extra small dogs are susceptible to constipation due to their long digestive tract, compared to their small body size. This is due to increased fluid to being removed from the colon, leading to dry stool. X-SMALL Adult is formulated with highly digestible proteins and an optimal fibre balance (including psyllium) which help to regulate and ease intestinal transit. Low Indigestible Proteins (LIPs) help to limit the indigestible protein reaching the colon which becomes fermented by the bacteria and this helps to improve stool quality and odour.

An extra small dog's skin and coat are a reflection of their overall state of health. X-SMALL Adult™ is formulated with anti-inflammatory omega 3s (EPA and DHA), vitamin A, biotin and highly digestible proteins to help contribute to a healthy skin and coat.

Formulated to meet the very high energy needs of very small adult dogs.

This small-sized kibble has been developed to be perfectly adapted to the miniature jaw of dogs under 8 lb. This exclusive formula also helps stimulate fussy appetites in very small breed dogs.

Good food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Winnie loves the Royal Canin X-Small Adult Dry Dog Food. She's a small dog and I'm always concerned with her nutritional needs. I'm pleased with this food and I'm feeling good about the balanced nutrition she now gets. And lucky for me, Winnie loves the taste and is excited for dinner each evening!

Excellent dog food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleased to get the opportunity to try Royal Canin X-small adult dry dog food for my honest review. My dogs loved this food! Even my cats wanted to eat this food. The morsals look moist and easy to chew. My little dog had no issues devouring the small morsals and enjoyed the flavor so much. It's his new favorite! This food didn't have any unpleasant smell and didn't cause my dog any issues. It has been much better than his usual brand.

Too many ingredients

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all there's way too many ingredients such as corn meal, thought this was going to be a cleaner product for my dogs. It has also made 1 of my dogs constipated. I have two, 4 pound Maltese poodles, 1 did fine with this and the other not so much. They both prefer the other brand they normally eat over this 1 though. I did appreciate the size of the little pebbles though, so I didn't have to worry about them choking. There's absolutely no color, it's just a tannish color round pebble food. Comes in a small 4lb, resealable bag. Best of luck to everyone else who tries this, I hope your dog likes it more than mine did.

Dog likes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my small dog that's an adult just to make it easy for her to eat. She didn't seem to mind the size and ate it. I feel like ingredients is not my favorite for my dog but she liked it so it's ok.

Ideal for small dog

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 5 lb chihuahua who has trouble eating some dry food brands due to their large kibble size and chewy bites due to his weaker jaw. He's had no trouble eating this kibble and seems to quite enjoy it

Bite size for little fur babies

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the kind of food I have to buy my really picky pup because he does not like any other kind. The bite size pieces are perfect for him and his small teeth. He doesn't have to crunch down like some other brands. It keeps him at a healthy weight and his fur coat also looks really great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Royal Canin x-small adult dry dog food is perfect size for my little dog. He loves this dog food flavor and it is so easy for him to eat. I can fill his little bowl up and he will gobble it all up no problems at all. They use high quality ingredients that make me feel like I am feeding my dog the best food for him.

Great for small dogs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Royal Canin X small adult dry dog food is the perfect size kibble for small dogs. High nutrition and exceptional consideration of your pups nutritional and health needs. Bag has recommended feeding suggestions, nutritional value, ingredients and a little bit about the company. Food is a little more IN price, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend even for the pickiest of eaters.
