We don't use the maxi, but all of our nine dogs (big dogs and small ones) are fed on Royal Canin, we bottle fed our new puppy (she was a singleton and Mum didn't have any milk) on the Royal Canin milk, then she went on to the starter, then junior, she's now five months old and her coat and skin are fantastic. All of the other dogs have beautiful shiny coats and are just bouncing with health. If your new puppy came home from his breeder with it then I would stick to it. We're expecting one of the girls to come in season shortly and we're going to try the RC HT42d from the first day of season. Royal Canin is brilliant food and what's best is that the dogs like it too!
