Description
If your cat is pregnant or has given birth recently, it’s important that both she and her kittens have the correct nutritional support to ensure continued health for the mother, and the best start possible for the kittens. Royal Canin Mother & Babycat is formulated with the nutritional needs of the mother and her kittens in mind. Suitable for gestating/lactating queens as well as 1 – 4 month old kittens, this food contains a patented complex of antioxidants which help to support the kittens’ natural defences.
The soft texture of the kibble makes it easy for the kittens to chew and swallow, allowing them to get used to solid food as part of their diet. Royal Canin Mother & Babycat is specially enhanced for digestive tolerance as it reduces the amount of undigested nutrients. It’s enriched with DHA, which is a natural omega-3 fatty acid that helps to support your kitten’s general brain development.
To cater to each cat’s individual preferences, Royal Canin Mother & Babycat food is also available as an ultra soft mousse. If you’re considering mixed feeding, simply follow our feeding guidelines to ensure your cat gets an accurate amount of both wet and dry food for optimal benefit.
The benefits
Immune system support: Between 4 and 12 weeks after birth, the natural immunity acquired from the mother’s colostrum decreases gradually before the kitten’s own natural defences are fully functional. Mother And Babycat helps support the 1st age kitten’s natural defences thanks to a patented complex of antioxidants including vitamin E, vitamin C, taurine, and lutein.
Special easy weaning: A tiny kibble, with a texture adapted to the very young kitten’s jaw and milk teeth can be easily rehydrated. This promotes the transition from milk to solid food during weaning.
Digestive health: At birth, the kitten’s digestive system is immature and it develops gradually over several weeks. That is why it is essential to support digestive health during the growth period. Mother & Babycat contributes to promoting digestive health thanks to highly digestible protein (L.I.P.*) and prebiotics (including FOS). *Protein selected for its very high digestibility.
Enriched with DHA : During gestation and lactation DHA helps support the kitten’s cerebral development.
