Most dogs are ready for Royal Canin senior dog food around 7 years old, but it depends on their size and health. Small breeds stay youthful longer, while larger breeds start ageing earlier. Talk to your vet.
A great first step is Royal Canin Medium Adult 7+ Dry Dog Food 15kg, which supports vitality, digestion, and healthy ageing for medium-sized mates heading into their golden years.
Senior formulas are built to support ageing joints, maintain muscle mass, and keep energy levels balanced without overloading calories. You’ll also find extra antioxidants for brain and heart health.
For example, Royal Canin Maxi Ageing 8+ Dry Dog Food 15kg is packed with nutrients that help large senior dogs stay strong, mobile, and full of life.
Royal Canin offers some senior support based on size and breed tendencies. If you're feeding a breed-specific formula today, transitioning to a senior or ageing-support option when the time comes keeps things consistent.
If you have a smaller senior, Royal Canin Mini Ageing 12+ Dry Dog Food 1.5kg is a top choice — designed for little legends aged 12+ to maintain vitality and healthy kidneys.
Absolutely. Royal Canin’s senior range covers all sizes — mini, medium, and maxi — each tailored to meet the specific needs of your dog's stage of life.
