Royal Canin Mini Dental

Pomeranians are high maintenance. It seems little dogs tend to be. They are cute and fun (and mean and aggressive) but they are also prone to medical issues, especially joint degeneration, for which they take Glyco Flex Stage III. Small dogs also tend to have teeth that are disproportionately large for their jaw, which increases their tendency to build up deposits of dental plaque. This is compounded by the fact that smaller dogs tend to have a longer life expectancy than larger breeds, meaning that they need to have healthy teeth for a longer period of time. As part of an aggressive maintenance program, it is a good idea to consider your dogs' dental health. This can be done through the use of dental chews and/or the use of special dog food, like Royal Canin Dental Hygiene formula dog food.

I normally purchase dog food from Petsmart. I have not purchased dog food on-line (although I have purchased medication and other products for them on-line). Royal Canin runs approximately ten dollars for a three pound bag at Petsmart, depending on whether it's on sale or not. I see that Amazon Marketplace (an Epinions partner site) is offering this dog food for $9.44, which is kind of expensive if you have to pay for shipping...I didn't check to see if the shipping was included in that price. This product might be one that you want to purchase from your local pet supply store...then you can check the dates to ensure freshness, and maybe even save a few dollars.

Royal Canin lists the ingredients of their Mini Dental Hygiene dry dog food as: Chicken, brown rice, rice, chicken meal, chicken fat (naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract and citric acid), corn gluten meal, natural chicken flavor, dried beet pulp, dried egg powder, soya oil, fish oil, potassium chloride, sodium silico aluminate, brewers yeast, cellulose powder, chicory extract, calcium sulfate, salt, DL-methionine, calcium carbonate, sodium tripolyphosphate, L-tyrosine, L-lysine, dried alfalfa, flax seed, Vitamins dl-alpha tocopherol acetate. I like the fact that the first ingredient is chicken...that means that this dog food isn't loaded with fillers (at least not as the primary ingredient).
