Nutritional profile specifically adapted for the bitch’s high energy needs at the end of gestation and during lactation.
Nutritional response helps to facilitate the transition from mother’s milk to solid food.
Kibbles easily rehydrate to a porridge-like consistency that is very palatable for both the bitch and her weaning puppies.
Developed from scientific research, Royal Canin's START COMPLEX is a combination of nutritional elements present in mother’s milk that actively promote digestive health and help maintain the puppy’s natural defenses.
-
Royal Canin’s Starter formulas are a unique nutritional solution that meets the needs of the mother and her puppies during the first 5 stages of life: gestation, birth, lactation, weaning and growth up to 2 months.

02 Apr 2023Good stuff butt...
So both this and the x-small puppy now only come in 2.5lb bags. Used to be able to get this in a 30# bag and the x small in a 15# bag. Now you pay 3x as much for the food in tiny bags that don't last a week.

My dog was happy!
My dog who is 4.5 enjoyed this! He only gets wet food in the mornings, and he went to town on this! He can sometimes be picky with the way wet food is sliced, but had no issues eating this with his breakfast!

06 Mar 2021Love the food but no carries what I’m looking for.
Love this food but having a hard time finding it. I need the extra small mom baby winning food. But I can’t find it anywhere.

I can’t say enough about Royal Canon’s mother and baby dog food! As a breeder nutrition for my moms is the most important and they get that and so much more for this formula! Raised 24 healthy and happy liters of puppies thanks to Royal Canin’s mother and baby formula dog food! Will always be a Royal Canin family member!!
