Complete wet food for pregnant/nursing dogs and puppies up to 2 months old: an ultra-soft, creamy mousse to facilitate weaning, enriched with DHA for cognitive development, antioxidants to support the immune system, and prebiotics for digestive health.
The first eight weeks of a puppy’s life are a crucial and complex stage: between the 4th and 8th weeks, the so-called “immune gap” occurs, during which the antibody protection transferred from the mother via colostrum gradually decreases before the puppy’s own immune system is fully functional.
At the same time, the immature digestive system and the absence of permanent teeth require specific, highly digestible, and soft nutrition. For her part, the mother dog in the final stage of pregnancy and throughout the entire lactation period faces a significant metabolic demand, which requires concentrated calories and constant hydration.
Royal Canin Starter Mother & Babydog Ultra Soft Mousse is formulated to precisely meet these dual nutritional needs. The special, fluffy mousse texture allows the puppy to lick and swallow the meal without straining its gums, stimulating its sense of smell and making the transition from milk to solid food smooth and natural.
The formula provides essential Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) to support the puppy’s early neurological, cerebral, and visual development—which is crucial for learning and social development. A scientifically proven complex of antioxidants (including vitamins C and E) supports the maturation of the immune system, while the addition of prebiotics (mannan-oligosaccharides) and highly digestible proteins protects the fragile intestinal lining, promoting firm stools.
For the mother, the high energy density and hydration profile prevent excessive loss of lean body mass and ensure a nutritious and consistent milk supply.
