AAFCO: SIZE HEALTH NUTRITION X-SMALL ADULT is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance. Brewers rice is the first ingredient.

X-Small Adult is part of the Size Health Nutrition dry kibble line, formulated for dogs 10 months to 8 years old weighing up to 8 lb. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are brewers rice, corn, chicken by-product meal, chicken fat and corn gluten meal, putting two grains ahead of the rendered chicken meal. The guaranteed analysis adds EPA and DHA, two omega-3 fatty acids, on top of the standard protein, fat, fiber and moisture figures. The manufacturer sells the recipe in 2.5 lb and 14 lb bags and publishes a Daily Feeding Recommendations section on the product page keyed to body weight. Royal Canin markets this line by dog size rather than breed, distinguishing it from the company's separate Breed Health Nutrition recipes. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
