ROYAL CANIN STARTER MOTHER & BABY DOG CAN FOOD [195 GM]

What Is Royal Canin Starter Mother & Babydog Can Food 195g?

Royal Canin Starter Mother & Babydog Can Food 195g is a complete wet food for mother dogs during the final stage of pregnancy and throughout lactation, as well as weaning puppies up to 2 months old.

Its ultra-soft mousse texture helps puppies move gradually from their mother’s milk to solid food. The highly nutritious formula supports early digestion, developing natural defences and the mother dog’s increased nutritional needs.

Who Is This For?

Royal Canin Starter Mother & Babydog may be suitable when:

• Your dog is in the final stage of pregnancy.
• Your dog is nursing a litter and needs energy-dense daily nutrition.
• Your puppies are beginning the weaning process.
• Your puppies are between approximately 3 and 8 weeks old.
• Your puppies find ordinary kibble difficult to chew or swallow.
• You need an ultra-soft texture that puppies can lick and eat easily.
• You want a complete starter food suitable for puppies of different breed sizes.
• You want to combine wet mousse with a suitable Royal Canin Starter dry food.

Puppies below approximately 3 weeks usually require their mother’s milk or an appropriate puppy milk replacer. Speak with your veterinarian before introducing solid food to very young, weak or orphaned puppies.

This product is not intended as regular maintenance food for adult dogs that are not pregnant or nursing.

Composition — What’s In It?

• Meat and animal derivatives — provide animal protein and amino acids needed for the mother dog’s muscles, milk production and the puppies’ rapid early growth.
• Cereals — provide digestible carbohydrates that supply energy during pregnancy, lactation and early development.
• Derivatives of vegetable origin — provide plant-based nutrients and dietary fibre that support normal digestion.
• Milk and milk derivatives — contribute nutrients suited to the transition between maternal milk and solid food.
• Oils and fats — provide concentrated energy and essential fatty acids for the mother dog and rapidly developing puppies.
• Omega-3 fatty acid DHA — supports early brain development and learning during the puppy’s first growth stage.
• Yeasts and prebiotic compounds such as MOS — support beneficial intestinal bacteria and healthy digestive balance.
• Highly digestible proteins — help the developing digestive system absorb nutrients efficiently.
• Vitamins C and E — antioxidant nutrients that support the healthy development of the puppy’s immune system.
• Minerals — support developing bones, muscles, nerves and other essential body functions.

Royal Canin notes that formulations can be updated. Always compare the product received with the ingredient and nutrient information printed on the can.

How to Use It

Serve the mousse at room temperature and divide the complete daily quantity into several small meals.

For weaning puppies, place a small amount in a shallow, clean feeding dish. The ultra-soft consistency allows young puppies to lick and eat the food without chewing hard kibble.

You may mix the mousse with a suitable Royal Canin Starter dry food when following a measured mixed-feeding plan. Adjust both portions so the mother or puppies do not receive excess calories.

Keep fresh drinking water available at all times. Wash feeding dishes after each meal and discard food that has been left out for an extended period.

Pregnant or nursing dogs and very young puppies have sensitive nutritional requirements. Consult your veterinarian if the mother loses weight, produces insufficient milk or refuses food, or if a puppy develops diarrhoea, vomiting, weakness or poor weight gain.

Transitioning to a New Food

Days 1–2: 75% current food + 25% new food

Days 3–4: 50% current food + 50% new food

Days 5–6: 25% current food + 75% new food

Day 7 onwards: 100% new food

A slow transition helps prevent digestive upset. If your dog or puppies develop loose stools or refuse the food, slow the transition and consult your veterinarian.

For puppies moving directly from milk to their first solid food, introduce very small portions gradually rather than replacing milk suddenly.

Common Questions

Is Royal Canin Starter Mousse suitable for newborn puppies?

It is designed mainly for puppies during the weaning period up to 2 months old.

Newborn puppies should receive their mother’s milk or a veterinarian-approved milk replacer. Do not replace milk with mousse during the earliest stage of life.

At what age can puppies start eating Royal Canin Starter Mousse?

Many puppies begin exploring soft food at approximately 3–4 weeks of age.

The correct timing depends on the puppy’s health, breed size, development and access to the mother’s milk.

Can I feed this to a pregnant dog?

Yes. The formula is designed for mother dogs during the final stage of pregnancy and throughout lactation.

Adjust the quantity as the pregnancy progresses and monitor the mother’s weight and body condition.

Can puppies of every breed size eat this food?

Yes. The wet starter mousse is suitable for weaning puppies across breed sizes.

The portion depends on the puppy’s expected adult weight and current age.

Can I mix the mousse with Royal Canin Starter dry food?

Yes. Mixed feeding can help puppies move gradually from soft mousse to rehydrated or dry starter kibble.

Follow a measured mixed-feeding plan because one full wet portion should not simply be added on top of the complete dry-food allowance.

Does this food replace the mother dog’s milk?

No. It is designed to assist the weaning transition rather than replace maternal milk from birth.

Puppies that cannot nurse may require a specially formulated puppy milk replacer and veterinary guidance.

How many meals should a weaning puppy eat each day?

Divide the daily quantity into several small, freshly served meals.

Young puppies have small stomachs and generally manage frequent small portions more easily than one or two large meals.

What should I do if a puppy develops diarrhoea after starting the food?

Stop increasing the new-food quantity and contact your veterinarian.

Very young puppies can become dehydrated quickly, so persistent diarrhoea, vomiting, weakness or refusal to eat requires prompt veterinary attention.
