Developed from scientific research, Royal Canin's START COMPLEX is a combination of nutritional elements present in mother’s milk that actively promote digestive health and help maintain the puppy’s natural defenses.
-
Royal Canin’s Starter formulas are a unique nutritional solution that meets the needs of the mother and her puppies during the first 5 stages of life: gestation, birth, lactation, weaning and growth up to 2 months.

02 Oct 2018Love this food
I love using this for nursing mothers and when the puppies start to nibble on solid. It is convenient, because I can free feed it dry.

02 Oct 2018Awesome stuff!
I used this for my toy poodles and they absolutely loved it. My mother poodle thinks it's a treat and jumps and wags her tail when I grab the bag. It gives them a soft coat and shine. Her puppies were able to eat it without choking. Great for starting them on solid foods!

02 Oct 2018Love this food
I breed miniature schnauzers and teacup Yorkies. This is a great transition from mum to solids. The dry morsels are not much bigger than a grain of rice,so it makes it easy for even the tiniest mouths to eat. The puppies love the food and dive right into it. The Royal Canin starter food provides them with all the nutrients their little growing bodies need. Since using it, I having had any glycemic episodes, which is common in small puppies. With the addition of the Starter mousse to their diets, nothing more is needed to ensure perfect strong growth of healthy puppies. I also give it to my pregnant and nursing mums.
