Strong Immune System

A puppy's immune system is still developing during the early stages of life. ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy contains specific nutrients, including vitamins E and C, to help support the development of a healthy immune system and natural defences.

Brain Development & Early Learning

This formula is enriched with DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid that helps support healthy brain development. DHA also helps promote learning during the early stages of puppy training and development.

Digestive Health & Microbiome Support

ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy combines highly digestible proteins with prebiotics, including manno-oligosaccharides (MOS), to help promote a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota. Supporting the gut microbiome contributes to digestive health as your large-breed puppy grows.
