Royal Canin Maxi Dental Care is a dry food specifically formulated to support dental health in large-breed adult dogs (26–44kg). It's an everyday maintenance kibble with a specific dental focus — not a treatment product, but a daily food that does ongoing work against tartar build-up.

The defining feature is the use of calcium-binding chelators in the recipe, which bind to the calcium in saliva to prevent it forming tartar on the teeth. Each piece of kibble is shaped and textured to mechanically scrub the tooth surface as the dog chews — large dogs typically need a kibble big enough that they actually have to chew rather than swallow whole. The recipe is otherwise complete and balanced for large-breed adult maintenance. Available in a 9kg bag.

Royal Canin's Dental Care line is one of the few mainstream foods with a meaningful dental angle beyond just kibble shape — the chelator chemistry is genuine. Owners with large breeds prone to tartar (Labradors, Goldens, Boxers) often add it on vet recommendation when standard kibble isn't keeping up between dental cleans.
