It is important that very young puppies get the proper nutrition right from the start to ensure they grow strong and healthy. Starter mousse is formulated to support the increased energy and nutritional needs of the mother from the last 1/3 of gestation through lactation, and very young puppies from weaning up to 2 months.
The transition from the mother’s milk to solid food can be a difficult time in the puppy’s life. Starter mousse has a very fine mousse texture that makes it easy to lap up, facilitating the transition from milk to solid food. It is also highly palatable to help ensure the puppy eats its food and obtains all the nutritional support required for healthy development.
The digestive capabilities of the very young puppy have not reached their full potential which can result in loose stool. Starter mousse is formulated with highly digestible ingredients, including low indigestible proteins (LIPs), to help increase the protein utilized by the body and reduce indigestible protein going to the colon, helping to improve stool quality.

Puppies naturally imitate their mother’s eating habits, and seek out the same food she eats. Starter mousse has been specially formulated to meet the requirements of the bitch at the demanding time of gestation and lactation and help the puppy during the transition from maternal milk to solid food.

I have bought this on many occasions. For starting puppies out,for female dogs that will not eat and especially for dogs that are sick or just not eating.

09 May 2016The best start your puppies could get.
This is the first real food I give to my puppies. I thin it down with Pedialite and evaporated goats milk so the pups can lap it up. They love it and their growth rate increases dramatically. I also mix the mousse with dry starter kibble to feed my pregnant or nursing mothers (starting on day 43 of pregnancy because I feed the HT42D from start of heat till day 42 of pregnancy).

I've been using this product for years, since it first came out. Now we can't live without it. It's been an answer to prayer. Easy to use, perfect size so nothing gets wasted, our puppies gobble it up & we know it's great stuff from all the research that Royal Canin does on their products. Thank you RC for a great product.

22 Aug 2015Great Product
I use this starter mousse to wean my puppy off the their mother.
I mix a little in with the dry kibble and they go from nursing to dry kibble with in a week. I also use it on my other dogs that are not eating good or drinking enough water. Again I mix it with their dry kibble or a little in their water bowl and they love it!

20 Aug 2015Perfect for Starting Pups
I started using this canned appetite stimulator in the smashed mixture that I start feeding my German Shepherd puppies at 3 weeks old over a year ago. The canned food not only is packed with excellent nutrition for fast-growing puppies, but is also extremely tasty and encourages young pups to begin good, healthy eating habits. We also use it for our extremely finicky therapy dog Beck to keep him healthy. We buy it direct by the case as keep it on hand!

When we feed this mousse to the new puppies, the weaning is so easy. We had a very small puppy that needed to be tube fed for several weeks and when it was time to introduce him to "real" food he adapted to the mousse within a day. I would like to always use it for all my litters but can not always find it locally.

10 Aug 2015Can't do without it!
I use this product for anything from mixing with wormer ( they lick it up!), giving pills in a spoonful, nursing adult dogs back to health, to weaning puppies. It is one product I can't do without! As well, each dog gets a spoonful as a daily treat. Yes, my dogs all eat from a spoon!
