For the small dog who hears the car keys and starts pacing.
Small dogs are anxious more often than large ones, and they show it differently — pacing, trembling, barking at nothing, following you room to room, or an upset stomach every time something changes. Moving house, a new baby, a thunderstorm, or simply being left alone can set it off for days.
Hydrolysed fish protein is the working ingredient — a milk-and-fish-derived peptide with published evidence behind it for reducing anxious behaviour, and it's why this food exists rather than being an ordinary one with calming claims. Alongside it, a moderate energy level suits a dog who isn't burning much off, and highly digestible proteins with beet pulp settle a gut that anxiety upsets. It is not a sedative and it is not a substitute for dealing with the cause. It gives you a calmer starting point to work from.

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. Give it at least three to four weeks before judging; the effect is gradual, not a switch. Feed it alongside the other things that help rather than instead of them — a predictable routine, a covered bed she can retreat to, and gradual desensitisation to whatever sets her off. If she's destructive or distressed when left alone, that's separation anxiety and worth a proper behaviourist.

A guide, not a rule. The "+ 1 pouch" rows assume one Royal Canin wet pouch a day alongside the dry. Two meals, at the same times each day — routine is itself calming. Fresh water, always.
