It contains L.I.P. highly digestible poultry protein, prebiotics (FOS and MOS), DHA from fish oil, an antioxidant complex including Vitamin E (480mg\/kg) and Vitamin C (390mg\/kg), glucosamine and chondroitin from hydrolysed crustaceans and cartilage, and beta-glucans. 30% crude protein, 16% fat, 3791 kcal\/kg. Available from 220g (MRP ₹250) to 20kg (MRP ₹16,840).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what makes large breed puppy nutrition genuinely different from everything else: a Labrador Retriever puppy and a Chihuahua puppy are both puppies, but they are not on the same nutritional journey. The Lab will grow to roughly 30 kg. Their skeletal system needs to grow at a precise, controlled rate - too fast, and the bones outpace the supporting structures, leading to developmental orthopaedic diseases like osteochondrosis and hip dysplasia. Their energy needs are substantial but must be moderated to avoid the excess weight gain that puts stress on a skeleton still hardening. Their immune system is immature and building itself from scratch throughout the entire first year. And their gut - which will be sensitive throughout their life - needs consistent, high-quality support right from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoyal Canin Maxi Puppy is designed by veterinary nutritionists with exactly this biology in mind. It's the most widely vet-recommended large breed puppy food in India, and for most Labrador, Golden Retriever, and German Shepherd puppy parents, it's the formula their vet recommends by name before the puppy even comes home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eImported and marketed by Royal Canin India Private Limited, Lotus Corporate Park, Western Express Highway, Goregaon East, Mumbai 400063.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses and Benefits of Royal Canin Maxi Puppy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoyal Canin Maxi Puppy is the complete daily diet for large breed puppies from 2 to 15 months old with an expected adult weight between 26 and 44kg.

The key risk is that bone grows faster than the structures supporting it - tendons, ligaments, and cartilage - if energy and calcium intake is too high, too fast. Royal Canin Maxi Puppy's moderate energy density (3,791 kcal\/kg) and carefully controlled calcium-to-phosphorus ratio are calibrated to support a controlled, steady growth curve rather than rapid maximum growth. This is the single most important reason a large breed puppy should not be fed a generic high-energy puppy formula, no matter how premium its ingredients are.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigestive precision through L.I.P. protein.\u003c\/strong\u003e L.I.P. stands for Low Indigestible Protein - a misleading name for what is actually protein selected for its very high digestibility. The dehydrated poultry protein in Royal Canin Maxi Puppy is processed to be exceptionally digestible, meaning a greater proportion of every gram of protein is absorbed by the gut and used for growth rather than passing through undigested. This directly reduces the volume of stool produced - a practical daily benefit - and reduces the digestive stress on a puppy's still-maturing gut. The prebiotic combination of FOS, MOS, and beta-glucans supports the gut microbiome in maintaining the balance of beneficial bacteria that keeps the digestive system healthy and the puppy's stool consistent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmune system timing.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2 to 15 month window is the most vulnerable period for a dog's immunity. Maternal antibodies from mother's milk wane in the first weeks after weaning. Vaccines are administered during this window but take time to generate full protective immunity. The puppy's own immune system is actively learning, developing, and building its response repertoire. The antioxidant complex - Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and lutein - in Royal Canin Maxi Puppy supports this development directly. Vitamin E in particular has well-documented immunomodulatory effects at the 480mg\/kg concentration used, making this one of the most clinically relevant nutritional features of the formula.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Feed Royal Canin Maxi Puppy To Your Pup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed dry, or moistened with a small amount of water. Always have fresh water available at all times. Do not mix Royal Canin Maxi Puppy with another complete dog food - the formula is designed as a complete diet and mixing disrupts the nutrient balance. Feed in measured portions 2 to 3 times daily rather than free-feeding. Large breed puppies, particularly Labradors, are notoriously enthusiastic eaters and will overeat if food is left out continuously - portion-controlled feeding protects their developing skeletal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Feeding Guide (grams per day):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"\" cellspacing=\"\" cellpadding=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePuppy Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e25kg Adult Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e30kg Adult Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e35kg Adult Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40kg Adult Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e155g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e185g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e255g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e290g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e215g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e260g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e345g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e375g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e235g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e285g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e335g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e385g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e285g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e335g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e390g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e275g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e385g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e255g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e315g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e375g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e290g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e325g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are daily totals - divide across 2 to 3 meals.
