ROYAL CANIN® Medium Starter Mother & Babydog Adult and Puppy Food

Newborn puppies have unique nutritional requirements to help support their developing senses and nervous systems. What's more, feeding growing puppies is a strenuous task that can take its toll on your medium-sized dog's metabolism. During the weaning period when the litter are transitioning to solid food, your dog and her nursing puppies need a tailored diet to meet their unique nutritional needs.

• ROYAL CANIN Medium Starter Mother Babydog is specially formulated to support the nutritional needs of new mothers and their puppies.

This formula is suitable for medium-sized adult dogs that weigh between 11 and 25kg, and for weaning puppies up to 2 months old. This tailored diet is specially adapted to meet your medium-sized dog's high energy needs at the end of gestation and during lactation. It's also formulated to support the healthy development of nursing puppies. This formula contains nutrients, including vitamins C and E, to hep support natural defences.

Thanks to a combination of beneficial prebiotics (such as MOS) and highly digestible proteins, ROYAL CANIN Medium Starter Mother Babydog also helps to support a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota (gut flora) for good digestion. This formula is enriched with omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) to help support healthy brain development in young puppies. The kibble in ROYAL CANIN Medium Starter Mother Babydog is easy to rehydrate with water, giving it an appetising porridge texture that's ideal for weaning puppies.

• Did you know that a puppy's nutritional needs change as they grow?

In the short span of 8 weeks, your puppies will need a diet that's specially adapted to meet their nutritional needs during the next growth phase. At this stage, you can transition them onto ROYAL CANIN Medium Puppy, available either as a dry kibble diet or with wet chunks in gravy.

For more than 50 years, we've worked closely with breeders, vets, and pet experts, sharing specialist knowledge and scientific research to create a dedicated approach to individualised, precise nutritional solutions.
