Royal Canin Maxi Starter, Mother & Babydog Dry Food

Royal Canin Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog Dry Food

The weeks around birth are critical — for large breed mothers and their newborn puppies both. Royal Canin Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog is made for exactly this window. It gives nursing mothers the extra protein and energy they need during gestation and lactation. At the same time, it's the right first food for large breed puppies as they begin to wean. The kibble softens easily in water for young puppies who aren't ready for dry food yet.

Key Benefits

• Designed for large breeds: Nutrient levels are set for large breed mothers and their puppies, not adapted from a smaller breed formula.
• Supports nursing mothers: High protein and energy content helps large breed mothers maintain condition during gestation and peak lactation.
• Perfect weaning food: Kibble rehydrates easily in warm water, making it ideal as a puppy's first solid meal.
• Digestive health: Easy-to-digest proteins and gut-friendly fibre support healthy digestion in both mothers and young puppies.
• Immune support: Antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals strengthen immunity in newborn puppies whose defences are still forming.
• Vet-approved: Complete and balanced nutrition developed with Royal Canin's vet nutrition team.

Key Ingredients

• Concentrated chicken protein: High-quality protein for muscle support in nursing mothers and muscle growth in newborn puppies.
• Rice: A gentle, easy-to-digest carb that provides steady energy for nursing mothers and weaning puppies.
• Fish oil and soya oil: Omega fats for brain development in puppies and coat condition in mothers.
• Beet pulp: Natural gut fibre that supports healthy digestion in both mothers and young puppies.
• Prebiotic fibre (FOS and MOS): Encourages a healthy gut from the very first meals.
• Psyllium husk: Gentle soluble fibre for smooth, consistent digestion.

How to Feed

Feed as the complete daily diet for large breed nursing mothers and weaning puppies. Follow the guide on the pack based on body weight. For nursing mothers, increase portions during peak lactation. To prepare for weaning puppies, soak kibble in three times its volume of warm water for a few minutes until soft. Always keep fresh water available.

Storage and Safety

• Check with your vet before changing diet during pregnancy, nursing, or early puppyhood.
• Store in a cool, dry place and keep the pack sealed after opening.
