Royal Canin Maxi Starter Mother and Baby dog Dry Dog Food

Description

A Balanced Start for Large Breed Bitches and Their Puppies

The nutritional requirements of a large breed mother dog and her weaning puppies are vastly different from standard maintenance needs. Royal Canin Maxi Starter is part of the innovative “Birth Programme,” providing a high-energy nutritional response that supports the bitch through the physical stress of nursing and helps puppies develop their own natural defenses.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Start Complex™: Developed from extensive scientific research, this combination of nutritional elements found in mother’s milk actively promotes digestive health and helps maintain the puppy’s developing immune system.
• Gestation & Lactation Support: Formulated with a specific nutritional profile adapted to the high energy needs of the mother at the critical end of gestation and during the demanding lactation phase.
• Perfect for Weaning: Provides a nutritional response that facilitates the transition from mother’s milk to solid food, ensuring kittens receive the energy density required for rapid growth.
• Easy Rehydration: The kibble is specially designed to soak up water or puppy milk, creating a porridge-like consistency that is highly palatable for both the mother and the weaning puppies.
• Digestive Security: Enriched with highly digestible proteins (L.I.P.) and prebiotics to ensure optimal stool quality in both mothers and sensitive puppies.

Target Audience:

Specifically for large breed dogs (Adult weight 26kg – 44kg) and puppies from 3 weeks to 8 weeks of age.
