Royal Canin Starter Mousse Mother & Babydog: Optimal Nutrition for Life's Beginning

Give your mother dog and her developing puppies the best possible start with Royal Canin Starter Mousse Mother & Babydog. This precisely formulated wet food provides tailored nutrition to meet the high energy needs of bitches during gestation and lactation, and supports puppies through the critical weaning period from birth up to 2 months old.   

Supporting Mothers and Puppies Through Vital Stages

The transition from mother's milk to solid food is a significant step. Royal Canin Starter Mousse is designed with an ultra-soft, fine mousse texture, making it exceptionally easy for weaning puppies to chew and encouraging their first experiences with solid food. This palatable texture also aids rehydration.   

Exclusive 'Start Complex' for Immunity and Digestion

Inspired by professional research, Royal Canin Starter Mousse features the exclusive 'Start Complex': a unique combination of nutritional elements present in mother's milk, reinforced with specific nutrients. This complex actively promotes:   

• Digestive Health: Supporting the developing digestive system of young puppies.   
• Natural Defences: Containing a complex of antioxidants, including Vitamin E, to help build the puppy's natural defences during the crucial 'immunity gap' phase, where protection from mother's colostrum decreases before their own immune system is fully functional.   

Key Benefits of Royal Canin Starter Mousse Mother & Babydog:

• Tailored for Mothers: Meets the high energy requirements of bitches at the end of gestation and throughout lactation.   
• Ideal for Weaning Puppies: Supports puppies from birth up to 2 months old as they transition from milk.   
• Ultra-Soft Mousse Texture: Easy to lap up and chew, facilitating the move to solid foods.   
• Supports Immune System: Enriched with antioxidants like Vitamin E to bolster natural defences.   
• Promotes Digestive Health: Contains nutrients supporting a balanced intestinal flora.   
• Instinctively Preferred: Formulated to match the optimal nutritional profile puppies instinctively choose, encouraging intake.
