Royal Canin Medium Starter Information
Royal Canin Medium Starter
Is designed for medium breed mothers from the end of gestation (3rd trimester) and during lactation and young puppies up to 2 months.
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.
Key Benefits:
- Gestation / lactation Support: Nutritional profile specifically adapted for the mother’s high energy needs at the end of gestation and during lactation.
- Ideal from transition from milk: Nutritional response helps to facilitate the transition from mother’s milk to solid food.
- Easy rehydration: Kibbles easily rehydrate to a porridge-like consistency that is very palatable for both the mother and her weaning puppies.
Made Specifically For: Medium breed puppies, pregnant and gestating mothers
