Royal Canin Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog is a complete dry dog food formulated for large-breed mother dogs with an adult weight of 26–44 kg and their puppies. It is designed for mothers during the end of gestation and throughout lactation, and for puppies during weaning up to 2 months of age.

Key Benefits

• Mother and puppy nutrition: Supports the specific nutritional requirements of large-breed mothers during late gestation and lactation and their developing puppies.

• Start Complex: Combines selected nutritional elements to help support puppies' digestive health and natural defences during their early development.

• Gestation & lactation support: The nutritional profile is adapted to the increased energy requirements of mother dogs during late pregnancy and lactation.

• Easy rehydration: The kibble can be mixed with water to create a softer, porridge-like consistency that helps puppies transition from mother's milk to solid food.

• Highly digestible protein: Contains L.I.P. protein selected by Royal Canin for its high digestibility.
