Product description
- Complete dry food for large pregnant dogs between 26 - 44 kg, and for puppies in the growth phase
- To support the immune system and metabolism
- With prebiotics
- Omega-3 fatty acids
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 trimester of their pregnancy, as well as for weaning their puppies to the age of 2 months. As large dogs often have bigger litters, with sometimes more than 10 puppies, their metabolism has more work to do.
The recipe contains a proven complex with vitamins C and E to support optimum development- and healthy function of the immune system. The combination of beneficial prebiotics (such as MOS) and highly-digestible proteins can help to support healthy digestion.
