Royal Canin Maxi Adult Large Breed Food

Complete nutrition calibrated to the distinctive physiology of large breed dogs — the structural, metabolic, and health profile of a large breed adult dog differs significantly from small breeds, and Royal Canin Maxi Adult addresses those differences with a breed-category-specific formula.

Large Breed Adult Formulation

• Joint Support Complex — Glucosamine (200mg/kg) and chondroitin sulphate address the disproportionate joint load that large breeds carry relative to their body mass; supplementation from adult stage slows the rate of articular cartilage degradation that leads to osteoarthritis in middle-aged large breeds.
• Adjusted Caloric Density — Large breeds have a lower metabolic rate per kilogram of body weight than small breeds; caloric density is calibrated to maintain lean body condition without overfeeding, reducing the risk of obesity-associated joint loading and cardiac stress.
• Digestive Efficiency — Large breeds are more susceptible to gastric dilatation-volvulus (bloat); the formula's fibre profile and feeding recommendations (multiple small meals, no exercise immediately post-feeding) support digestive safety.
• Large Kibble Geometry — Large breeds should chew their food rather than swallow whole; the kibble size and shape require real chewing, slowing food intake rate and reducing aerophagia (swallowed air) that contributes to bloat risk.

Suitable For

Large breed dogs (26–44kg adult weight) from 15 months to 5 years. For giant breeds over 44kg, Royal Canin Giant Adult is more appropriate.
