Pug Adult is formulated for purebred Pugs 10 months and older. Its first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are brewers rice, brown rice, oat groats, chicken by-product meal and corn, four plant sources ahead of the rendered chicken meal. Royal Canin describes this recipe's kibble as cloverleaf shaped, designed to make it easy for the breed to pick up and chew, a brachycephalic jaw consideration similar to the Bulldog and French Bulldog lines. The formula adds an L-carnitine guarantee alongside glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Feeding portions run from about 1 1/8 to 2 1/8 cups per day across dogs weighing 13 to 22 lb at low, medium or high activity. Royal Canin sells this recipe in a single 10 lb bag size. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
