UNDERSTAND YOUR PUPPY’S STAGES OF GROWTH AND NEEDS
Puppies’ nutritional needs change throughout growth. Selecting a diet that meets their needs at each stage of growth is a key step to supporting healthy growth.
Birth to weaning
ROYAL CANIN® BABYDOG MILK is high in energy and protein and is enriched with DHA. It is formulated to be as close as possible to a bitch’s milk, for healthy growth.
ROYAL CANIN® BABYDOG MILK is also suitable for your puppy’s young digestive system as it does not contain starch (which puppies cannot digest yet) and promotes a balance of digestive flora.
Weaning to 2 months
ROYAL CANIN® STARTER MOTHER & BABYDOG is a unique solution that meets the needs of bitches and their puppies through five key stages of life: pregnancy, birth, lactation, weaning and growth to 2 months old. Its nutritional formula is tailored to meet the energy requirements of lactating bitches.
Perfectly suited to weaning, this diet facilitates the transition from maternal milk to solid food. The kibble is easily rehydrated to a porridge-like consistency that is very palatable for both the bitch and her puppies.
2 months to adulthood
ROYAL CANIN® PUPPY diets are formulated to meet each puppy’s needs based on their size. During growth, puppies are socialized and discover many things, including new people environments. It’s essential that their natural defenses are fully supported during this period.
Our exclusive range of diets dedicated to growing puppies contains a combination of antioxidants, including vitamins E and C, which helps support the development of your puppy’s immune system at every stage of its growth.
Giving your puppy a diet that meets its nutritional needs at every stage of growth and taking it for regular veterinary check-ups are both steps you can take to help support healthy growth. ROYAL CANIN® JUNIOR diet is formulated to meet giant puppies’ nutritional needs from 8 to 18/24 months old.
Brain development
What is at stake
The first year is an intense and key development time for the maturation of your puppy’s brain, vision, and behavioural systems.
Nutritional answer
A formula enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) which are scientifically proven to support brain development.
Immune system support
What is at stake
After weaning, the maternal immune system protection declines overtime, and your puppy will need support to build their own strong immunity.
Nutritional answer
A formula with a scientifically proven complex, including Vitamins E and C to help support the development of their healthy immune system.
Microbiome support
What is at stake
Puppies have a delicate digestive system. Their gut microbiota is slowly adapting from maternal or substitute milk to solid food. The development of their digestive enzymes, and their intestines is ongoing.
Nutritional answer
A combination of prebiotics (MOS) & highly digestible proteins to help promote a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota for digestive health.
Weight management
What is at stake
Weight issues can start early for puppies and may have a negative impact on their future health and wellbeing. Healthy habits, set early, are key to support your pet for life.
Nutritional answer
A formula with balanced nutrients and an adapted energy intake to satisfy their appetite while fulfilling their growing nutritional needs without compromising their weight.
