FAQs
Can I feed this to my small breed puppy?
No, this formula is specifically balanced for the growth requirements and bone structure of large breed puppies and should not be fed to small breeds.
How should I store the pouches?
Keep unopened pouches in a cool, dry area. Once opened, place the pouch in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 24 hours.
At what age should I stop feeding Maxi Puppy?
You should generally transition your puppy to an adult formula once they reach the end of their growth period, typically around 15 months for large breeds, depending on the specific breed.
Can I mix this with dry kibble?
Yes, it is common to mix this wet formula with Royal Canin Maxi Puppy dry kibble to provide texture variety, provided you adjust the total caloric intake to match your puppy's needs.
Does this food help with joint health?
Yes, by providing a controlled balance of calcium and phosphorus, it supports healthy skeletal growth, which is the foundation of long-term joint health in large breeds.
Troubleshooting
Puppy has loose stools after switching food.
The transition process may have been too fast. Revert to a mix of 75% old food and 25% new food, then gradually increase the ratio over a longer period (10-14 days).
Puppy is refusing the food.
Ensure the food is served at room temperature. Cold food straight from the refrigerator may be less appealing; let it sit out for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Puppy is leaving food in the bowl.
Large breeds have varying appetites. Verify the feeding guidelines based on your puppy's current weight and age, and adjust the serving size accordingly to prevent waste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin feeding, transition your puppy slowly over a 7-day period, gradually increasing the ratio of Royal Canin Maxi Puppy to their previous food. Always ensure the puppy has access to fresh, clean water. Each 140g pouch is intended for single-meal use; if your puppy does not finish the entire pouch, refrigerate the unused portion and serve it within 24 hours. Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consult your veterinarian regularly to adjust portion sizes as your puppy matures and their energy requirements change.
