Royal Canin Mini Starter, Mother & Babydog Dry Food

Royal Canin Mini Starter Mother & Babydog Dry Food

Small breed mothers and their newborn puppies have very different needs from larger breeds — and Royal Canin Mini Starter is built around exactly that. It gives nursing small breed mothers the extra protein and energy they need during gestation and feeding. At the same time, it's the right first food for tiny puppies as they begin to wean. The kibble softens easily in warm water, making the move to solid food gentle and stress-free.

Key Benefits

• Made for small breeds: Nutrients are set for small breed mothers and their puppies — not adapted from a larger breed formula.
• Supports nursing mothers: High protein and energy help small breed mothers stay in good condition during gestation and peak feeding.
• Easy weaning: Kibble softens quickly in warm water, making it the perfect first solid food for newborn puppies.
• Digestive health: Easy-to-digest proteins and gut-friendly fibre support healthy digestion in both mothers and young puppies.
• Immune support: Antioxidants and vitamins strengthen immunity in newborns whose defences are still forming.
• Vet-recommended: Complete and balanced nutrition developed with Royal Canin's vet team.

Key Ingredients

• Concentrated chicken protein: High-quality protein for muscle support in nursing mothers and growth in newborn puppies.
• Rice and maize: Gentle, easy-to-digest carbs that provide steady energy for mothers and weaning pups.
• Fish oil and soya oil: Omega fats for brain development in puppies and coat health in mothers.
• Beet pulp: Natural gut fibre for healthy digestion in both mothers and young puppies.
• Prebiotic fibre (FOS and MOS): Encourages a healthy gut from the very first meals.

How to Feed

Feed as the complete daily diet for small breed nursing mothers and weaning puppies. Follow the guide on the pack based on body weight. Increase portions for nursing mothers during peak feeding. To prepare for weaning puppies, soak kibble in warm water until soft. Always keep fresh water available.
