Royal Canin Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog

Royal Canin Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog has been specially developed to meet the nutritional needs of pregnant dogs and their puppies. The recipe is ideal for large adult dogs weighing between 26-44 kg during the final third of their pregnancy, as well as for weaning their puppies up to 2 months old. As large dogs often have bigger litters—sometimes more than 10 puppies—their metabolism requires extra support.

The formula contains a proven complex of vitamins C and E to boost the immune system, beneficial prebiotics (such as MOS), and highly‑digestible proteins that help maintain balanced gut flora and support healthy digestion. Enriched with omega‑3 fatty acids (including DHA), this kibble promotes normal brain development in young puppies.
