Food Transition

Introduce Royal Canin Maxi Puppy gradually when changing from another food. A gradual transition over approximately 7–10 days can help the puppy adapt to the new diet.

The kibble may be fed dry. For younger puppies that have recently transitioned from softer food, it can be moistened with a small amount of water to make it easier to eat.

Store in a cool, dry place and keep the package tightly sealed after opening. Protect the food from moisture and excessive heat.

Do not use after the best-before date printed on the packaging.
