Royal Canin Cat Mother & Babycat 4kg
Overview
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat is a complete dry food designed for the busy early stages of life, when both the mother cat and her kittens need focused nutritional support. It is suitable for gestating and lactating queens, and for first-age kittens from 1 to 4 months old during weaning.
The recipe is built to help meet the higher energy needs of the mother in late pregnancy and while nursing, while also supporting the kitten’s early development. It includes vitamins C and E for immune support, DHA for brain and vision development, and prebiotics with highly digestible proteins to help support digestive balance.
The kibble can also be rehydrated with water to create a softer, porridge-like texture, making it easier to introduce kittens to solid food during the weaning period.
