Ingredient Review
Our review of Royal Canin Dental Care Small Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Corn Flour. Corn flour is made with dried or roasted kernels from any corn species. In pet food, corn flour can be a filler as well as source of inexpensive protein, carbohydrates, and fiber.
The second ingredient is Chicken By-Product Meal. In pet food, chicken by-product meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken by-product meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken parts that might not be used for human consumption including necks, feet, entrails, and undeveloped eggs.
The third ingredient is Brewers Rice. Brewers rice is a byproduct of the beer industry. The brewers rice in pet food has been dried and ground for use as a carbohydrate source, often in gluten-free recipes.
The fourth ingredient is Chicken Fat. Chicken fat is a good source of omega-6 fatty acids including linoleic acid. In pet food, chicken fat also adds flavor, improves consistency, and serves as a source of the animal fat pets need for overall wellbeing.
The fifth ingredient is Natural Flavors. The natural flavors in pet food are added to improve taste, so your companion enjoys their meals more. Natural flavors can be sourced from animal products, plants, minerals, and even natural chemical compounds.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Royal Canin Dental Care Small Dog Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

Because smaller dogs have higher metabolisms compared to their medium, large, and giant cousins, foods made for small breeds may have higher calorie density. Small dog breed foods also often have smaller kibble size for their smaller mouths.
