Royal Canin Medium Ageing 10+ is formulated to deliver noticeable improvements in your senior dog's well-being. The inclusion of EPA and DHA (omega-3 fatty acids) is vital for supporting cognitive function, which can help keep your dog mentally sharp, as well as maintaining joint health, potentially leading to greater mobility and less stiffness. Many users observe their dogs showing more enthusiasm for walks or play due to better overall vitality.
The high-quality protein content works to counteract age-related muscle loss, helping your dog retain strength and a healthy physique. This can be particularly important for dogs that enjoy continued activity.
With prebiotics and vitamins C and E, the food aims to strengthen the immune system. This means your dog may be better equipped to fend off common ailments, leading to fewer sick days and a more robust overall health.
The adapted kibble size and shape are a significant practical benefit. Senior dogs often have sensitive teeth or weaker jaws, and this design encourages thorough chewing. This not only aids in digestion but also acts as a gentle scrubbing mechanism, supporting dental hygiene and potentially reducing the frequency of dental issues. Owners often report that their senior dogs find this food easier to eat and digest, leading to more regular and healthier stools.
By providing an adapted energy content, the formula helps prevent unnecessary weight gain in less active senior dogs, which is crucial for managing joint stress and overall health. Monitoring your dog's body condition and adjusting feeding amounts based on activity levels is key to optimizing this benefit. Regular observation of your dog's energy levels, coat condition, and stool quality will provide the best indicators of the food's positive impact.
When transitioning your dog to Royal Canin Medium Ageing 10+, it's important to do so gradually to avoid digestive upset. Follow these steps:
Day 1-2: Mix 25% new food with 75% old food.
Day 3-4: Mix 50% new food with 50% old food.
Day 5-6: Mix 75% new food with 25% old food.
Day 7 onwards: Your dog can now be fed 100% Royal Canin Medium Ageing 10+.
Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times. Refer to the feeding guide on the product packaging for specific daily portion recommendations based on your dog's weight and activity level.
This food is specifically formulated for:
Age: Medium-sized dogs aged 10 years and older.
Weight: Medium-sized dogs weighing between 11kg and 25kg.
It is not recommended for younger dogs or senior dogs outside of this specific weight range, as their nutritional needs will differ. Royal Canin offers other specialized formulas for different ages and sizes.
Storage: Store the food in a cool, dry place. For optimal freshness and to prevent pest infestation, keep the bag tightly sealed or transfer the kibble to an airtight container after opening.
Mixed Feeding: While this is a complete dry food, mixed feeding with Royal Canin wet food can enhance palatability and increase your dog's hydration. This can be particularly beneficial for senior dogs who may drink less water. When mixed feeding, adjust the portion sizes of both dry and wet food to maintain a balanced diet and prevent overfeeding.
