Royal Canin Mother & Babydog Maxi Starter Dry Dog Food

Newborn puppies have unique nutritional requirements to support the development of their senses and nervous systems.

Feeding growing puppies can also place significant strain on a large dog’s metabolism.

During the weaning period, when the litter is transitioning to solid food, both the mother and her puppies require a tailored diet to meet their specific nutritional needs.

ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog is specially formulated to support the nutritional needs of new mothers and weaning puppies.

This formula is suitable for large adult dogs weighing 26–44kg, and for puppies up to 2 months old.

Large dogs often have big litters, sometimes with 10+ puppies, which is very demanding on the mother’s metabolism.

This diet is specially adapted to meet her high energy needs at the end of gestation and during lactation, while also supporting the healthy development of puppies.

It contains key nutrients like vitamins C and E to support natural defences.

Thanks to a combination of beneficial prebiotics (e.g., MOS) and highly digestible proteins, it supports a healthy balance of gut flora for good digestion.

The formula is enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids (like DHA) to help support healthy brain development in puppies.

The kibble is easy to rehydrate with water, creating a porridge-like texture ideal for weaning puppies.

As puppies grow, their nutritional needs shift rapidly. Within 8 weeks, they should transition to ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy, which is available as dry kibble or wet food in gravy.

At Royal Canin, we’re committed to creating a better world for pets, with over 50 years of collaboration with breeders, vets, and pet experts.

Our products undergo extensive quality control to guarantee the highest nutritional standards.
