Your dog will only ever have one set of teeth, which is why its so important to help keep his teeth and gums healthy. Suitable for dogs that weigh between 26kg and 44kg, Royal Canin Dental Care Maxi boasts delicious-tasting complete nutrition that helps to support your dogs dental health. This advanced formula features a smart kibble texture that actually cleans your dogs teeth while chewing. The mechanical texture of the kibble surrounds each tooth as your dog bites down so that every mouthful rubs against the tooths surface, like a brushing effect. Over time, the bacteria that settles on your dogs teeth after meals forms plaque, which mineralizes with calcium to cause tartar. This nutritious kibble is enhanced with chelators that bind to calcium in your dogs mouth, which helps to stop the formation and build-up of tartar. Proven results Up to 75% reduced tartar formation *Royal Canin internal study. Complete feed for dogs For adult and mature large breed dogs (from 26 to 44 kg), over 15 months old and dogs prone to dental sensitivities. Some dogs are more prone to the accumulation of dental tartar. After eating, food residue forms a thin layer of plaque covering the teeth. Over time, plaque calcifies into tartar which can accelerate the accumulation of bacteria.
