Royal Canin Giant Starter Dog Food is a complete food for weaning giant puppies under 2 months and for bitches at the end of gestation and during lactation. Giant dogs will be over 45Kg at maturity. START COMPLEX is the product of Royal Canin's unique scientific research. It has been specially developed to suit the needs of both the bitch and the puppies during a time when they both have extra demands. The product contains an exclusive combination of natural nutritions which are found in the mother's milk and added ingredients which will support the puppy's immune and digestive systems. Specific levels of protein, fats and energy values create an easy transition between mother's milk and solid food for the young puppy. The bitch is also helped to meet her high energy demands after gestation and during lactation with added nutrients. The kibble is easily rehydrated to form a porridge-like consistency that is easily digested by both mother and puppy.
