Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition Shih Tzu Adult Dry Dog Food

Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition Shih Tzu Adult is a complete and balanced breed-specific dry dog food formulated exclusively for the nutritional and physiological needs of purebred adult Shih Tzus from 10 months of age. Available at PetCentral, a trusted pet food shop serving dog owners across Dubai and the UAE, this formula by Royal Canin addresses the four defining health priorities of the Shih Tzu: reinforcing the skin's natural barrier function, maintaining the iconic long and silky coat, supporting digestive health and reducing stool volume and odour, and making feeding easy and comfortable for a brachycephalic breed with a short muzzle and underbite.

Key Benefits

• An exclusive skin barrier complex delivers targeted nutrients including vitamin A at 29,500 IU per kg, EPA, DHA, and borage oil at 0.1% to reinforce the skin's natural protective barrier function, a specifically relevant benefit for Shih Tzus which have a documented predisposition to skin sensitivity and coat-related dermatological concerns
• Borage oil at 0.1% contributes gamma-linolenic acid, a specialised omega-6 fatty acid that plays a significant role in maintaining epidermal integrity and supporting the skin barrier, working in combination with the EPA and DHA from fish oil to deliver a three-component skin and coat nutrition system
• Biotin alongside omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, omega-6 fatty acids from soya oil, and vitamin A work together to maintain the softness, shine, and lustre of the Shih Tzu's characteristically long, dense, and flowing double coat throughout adulthood
• Highly digestible L.I.P. rice and poultry proteins combined with a precise fibre content from beet pulp and vegetable fibres, and high-quality carbohydrate sources actively reduce faecal volume and odour, addressing one of the most practical daily concerns for Shih Tzu owners across the UAE
• Fructooligosaccharides provide natural prebiotic fibre that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a healthy intestinal flora and consistent digestive comfort alongside the stool reduction benefits of the highly digestible protein sources
• Pentasodium triphosphate calcium chelators at 0.35% bind calcium in saliva before it can crystallise into dental tartar, actively reducing tartar formation between veterinary dental cleanings, an elevated concern in brachycephalic breeds with compressed dental arcades
• Glucosamine from fermented sources and chondroitin sulphate from hydrolysed cartilage support joint health and cartilage integrity in a breed that, despite its small size, benefits from targeted joint nutrition as an indoor companion dog
• Tea polyphenols at 150mg per kg provide additional natural antioxidant support, complementing the formula's overall immune and cellular health benefits
• A unique kibble shape designed specifically for the Shih Tzu's brachycephalic jaw, short muzzle, and underbite makes each piece easy to grasp, pick up, and chew comfortably, while the crunchy texture creates a mechanical tartar-reducing brushing effect at every meal
• Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin at 10g per kg supports kidney health by binding excess ammonium in the digestive tract
• Can be mixed with or complemented by Royal Canin Shih Tzu Adult Loaf in Sauce wet dog food for a mixed feeding routine
• Free from added colourings, developed using science-based breed nutrition backed by Royal Canin's decades of breed-specific research
