From Chihuahuas to German Shepherds, dogs in Egypt have very different needs. This guide shows how to choose the best dog food for your dog’s size, age and lifestyle, with examples you can order today.

1. Size comes first

Small dogs burn energy fast and need small kibbles; large dogs need controlled energy and joint support. Choose by your dog’s adult weight:

• Mini (up to 10 kg): Royal Canin Mini Adult, and Mini Sterilised after neutering.
• Medium (11–25 kg): Royal Canin Medium Adult.
• Maxi (26–44 kg): Royal Canin Maxi Adult, and Maxi Joint Care for joint support.

2. Then age

• Puppies: growth formulas such as Mini Puppy, Medium Puppy or Maxi Puppy. See puppy food.
• Adults: adult formulas for their size.
• Seniors: ageing formulas such as Maxi Adult 5+.

3. Special needs and breeds

• Sensitive stomach: Mini Digestive Care.
• Picky eaters: Mini Exigent.
• Breed formulas: German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Shih Tzu, Poodle and more.
• Health conditions: veterinary diets on your vet’s advice.

Wet food and treats

Adding a spoon of wet dog food makes meals more appealing, and natural dog treats help with training. Keep treats under 10% of daily calories.

Feeding tips

• Weigh the daily amount from the table on the bag, for your dog’s ideal weight.
• Feed adults twice a day and puppies 3–4 times.
• Keep fresh water available, especially in the Egyptian summer.
• Change food gradually with our 7-day plan.
