Yes, Royal Canin (RC) has many different formulas for breeds, life stages, and then there are the prescription diets. My dogs gulped the Yorkshire Terrier breed specific diet...it is shaped like little square puffed up kibble....they were not chewing their meals, they were swallowing a lot of it whole, so a long time ago, I switched them over to the Royal Canin Mini Adult......it is shaped like little 4 pointed stars....they slowed down and they chew on that kibble much better. The current "theory-de-jour" seems to be that kibble does nothing to help knock tarter off teeth....not sure I agree with that, but I DO know, if they are swallowing it whole and not chewing it at all, it certainly is not doing any good on teeth. They did not make changes to the formula in the mini adult, so all my group has continued to enjoy it immensely. It has kept them healthy and beautiful and satisfied and energetic for many years!
