Professional Nutrition for Small Breed Mothers and Puppies
Small breed dogs have intensive metabolic needs, especially during the breeding cycle. Royal Canin Mini Starter is specifically engineered to meet the high energy demands of the nursing bitch and the delicate developmental needs of her weaning puppies. It is the first step in the Royal Canin Birth Programme.
Key Benefits & Features:
- Start Complex™ / Natural Defences: An exclusive combination of nutritional elements present in mother’s milk, reinforced with specific nutrients to support the puppy’s digestive health and strengthen their natural immune system.
- Gestation & Lactation Support: A nutritional profile adapted to the mother’s very high energy needs at the end of pregnancy and during the peak of lactation.
- Ideal for Weaning: Provides a smooth transition from mother’s milk to solid food with a precise balance of proteins, fats, and energy.
- Easy Rehydration: The kibble is designed to be easily soaked with warm water to create a palatable, porridge-like consistency, making it easy for small puppies (3-8 weeks) to eat.
- L.I.P. Digestive Science: Uses highly digestible proteins to ensure maximum nutrient absorption and reduce the risk of digestive upset in sensitive small puppies.
Target Audience:
Ideal for small breed dogs (Adult weight 9-22 lbs) and their puppies from the end of pregnancy through to 2 months of age.
