Royal Canin Canine Health Nutrition Starter Mousse Mother & Baby dog (Dog Wet Food - Cans)

Royal Canin Canine Health Nutrition Starter Mousse Mother and Babydog Wet Dog Food 195g

Royal Canin Starter Mousse Mother and Babydog is a complete and balanced wet dog food formulated to simultaneously address the high energy demands of the gestating and lactating bitch and the delicate nutritional needs of weaning puppies from 3 weeks through to 2 months of age. Available at PetCentral, a trusted dog food shop serving dog owners and breeders across Dubai and the UAE, this 195g can by Royal Canin features an ultra-soft, fine mousse texture specifically designed for the underdeveloped mouths, teeth, and digestive systems of very young puppies making their first transition from mother's milk to solid food. Enriched with DHA from fish oil, vitamins C and E, prebiotics, and clinoptilolite, this is one of the most comprehensively targeted early-life dog nutrition products used by breeders and rescue carers across the UAE.

Key Benefits

• Ultra-soft, fine mousse texture is specifically developed to ease the critical transition from nursing to solid food in weaning puppies from 3 weeks of age, making food intake smooth, comfortable, and achievable for puppies whose mouths, teeth, and swallowing reflexes are still in the earliest stages of development
• A high energy density of approximately 972 kcal per kg supports the mother's dramatically elevated caloric needs during the final third of gestation and throughout the lactation period, when energy requirements can increase by as much as 50% above maintenance levels
• Highly digestible proteins from meat and animal derivatives, milk and milk derivatives, and casein provide an outstanding source of amino acids that fuel healthy puppy growth and support the mother's muscle maintenance through the most nutritionally demanding phase of her reproductive cycle
• Milk and milk derivatives contribute lactose and milk proteins that are naturally familiar to weaning puppies, making the transition from nursing significantly more palatable and accepting for puppies encountering solid food for the first time
• DHA from fish oil supports healthy neurological development, brain maturation, and visual acuity in very young puppies during the period of most intensive cognitive and sensory development in the first two months of life
• A combination of prebiotics from hydrolysed yeasts and beta-glucans alongside highly digestible proteins actively promotes a balanced intestinal microbiome, directly supporting digestive health and optimal stool quality in puppies whose gut flora is still establishing from birth
• Antioxidants including vitamins C and E work synergistically to support the development of the puppy's natural immune defences during the period when maternal antibody transfer from colostrum is gradually diminishing and the puppy's own immune system must begin to mature
• Taurine is included to support healthy cardiac muscle development and visual health in young puppies whose capacity to synthesise sufficient taurine independently remains limited during the first weeks of life
• Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin at 2.2g per kg supports kidney health by binding excess ammonium in the digestive tract, adding renal support relevant to both the high protein diet required by the lactating bitch and the developing kidneys of very young puppies
• Suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes, making it the universal go-to early-life wet food for multi-breed breeding programmes and rescue operations across the UAE
• Not recommended for puppies under 3 weeks of age, who should continue to receive mother's milk or a complete milk replacer formula
