Royal Canin Giant Starter Mother and Babydog Dry Dog Food – For Giant Breeds

Description

A Specialized Nutritional Foundation for Giant Breeds

The nutritional needs of a giant breed mother and her puppies are extreme. During the “Birth Programme” phase, the bitch requires massive calorie intake for nursing, while her puppies need a precise balance to avoid early-stage growth issues. Royal Canin Giant Starter provides a professional-grade bridge between milk and solid food.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Start Complex™: Developed through extensive research, this exclusive blend contains nutritional elements found in mother’s milk, reinforced with specific nutrients to support digestive health and a strong immune system.
• High Energy for Nursing: Formulated with an adapted nutritional profile to support the giant bitch’s high metabolic demands at the end of pregnancy and throughout the heavy lactation phase.
• Smooth Weaning Transition: Facilitates the shift from mother’s milk to solids with an energy density and nutrient profile perfectly suited for rapid early development.
• Rehydratable Kibble: The kibbles easily soak up water or puppy milk to reach a porridge-like consistency, making it easy for weaning puppies to lap up and digest.
• Giant Breed Security: Specifically calibrated for dogs with an adult target weight over 100 lbs (45kg), ensuring they don’t grow too fast while their skeletal structure is still soft.

Target Audience:

Ideal for giant breeds like Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Mastiffs during gestation, lactation, and the weaning of puppies (3 to 8 weeks old).

Guaranteed Analysis (Typical):

Feeding Instruction: For puppies under 8 weeks, mix the kibble with 2 parts warm water to create a smooth porridge. Serve immediately and discard any leftovers after 30 minutes to ensure freshness.
