Royal Canin Mini Starter Mother And Baby Dry Adult & Puppy Dog Food - 8.5kg

Manufacturer's View

Mini breeds of dog may be small by definition, but their nutritional and energy requirements are anything but. From a nutritional perspective, it’s very important that your mini breed dogs and its young pups eat food that’s specifically tailored to their unique nutritional requirements. That’s why ROYAL CANIN® Mini Starter Mother & Babydog provides everything needed for dogs weighing up to 10kg as well as for its weaning puppies up to 2 months old.

ROYAL CANIN® Mini Starter Mother & Babydog is designed with using ROYAL CANIN®’s ‘Start Complex’ – an exclusive combination of nutritional elements the same as those in the mother’s milk – reinforced with specific nutrients that contribute to supporting the puppies’ digestive health and natural defences. This unique nutritional solution meets the needs of the mother and her puppies during the first five stages of its life cycle: gestation, birth, lactation, weaning, and growth (up to 8 weeks old). The nutritional profile of ROYAL CANIN® Mini Starter Mother & Babydog is adapted to the mother’s high energy requirements at the critical period during the end of gestation and the beginning of lactation. The essential nutrients in ROYAL CANIN® Mini Starter Mother & Babydog include poultry, protein, rice, animal fats, vegetable protein and hydrolysed yeast – a natural flavour enhancer for increased palatability – and marigold extract – a source of lutein. The kibble is also easy to rehydrate to a porridge-like consistency; essentially by soaking the kibble. This consistency is not only very palatable for the mother, but also facilitates the puppies’ transition from their mother’s milk to more solid food in order to wean them effectively.

At ROYAL CANIN® we’re committed to providing nutritional solutions to your pet’s needs. All of our products undergo an extensive quality control process in order to guarantee the optimum quality of food as well as catering to the specific dietary requirements and lifestyle. This means that when your dog and her puppies eat ROYAL CANIN® Mini Starter Mother & Babydog, they’re getting a complete and balanced diet.

Good quality food that my dog enjoyed

by Nicole

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My dog really enjoyed this food and took to it straight away. The pieces are good good size for smaller dogs and it seems good quality. Easy to portion out and the bag lasts well. I’d be happy to buy again.

Absolutely perfect in every way! We will be a returning customer!

by Jodie Lou

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Absolutely loved by mum and baby! Our older Frenchie is quite fussy and absolutely loved this! They hate the larger kibble, so this was perfect for them! Both coats look shiny and healthy, as you can see. Little one is growing beautifully. Storage-wise, we keep the food in a large airtight box, as you can see from the photos. The food is still fresh after 2 weeks. The bag the food comes in can be recycled where I live, so that’s a bonus too! All-around happy dogs, happy tummies, highly recommend!

Great for fussy dogs!

by LukeM

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My dog loved this. Usually, I have to add some meat to his bowl to make him interested, but this worked like a charm. Would recommend this if anyone has a fussy dog!

An exceptional, highly effective starter food that makes weaning easy and keeps coats beautifully healthy.

by Radu

I couldn't be happier with the overall effectiveness of this formula! I started using this for my mini dog during the final stages of her pregnancy, and it has been a lifesaver for her and the puppies. The kibble rehydrates beautifully into a smooth mush, which has drastically helped with the puppies' hydration as they transition to solid food. Since switching, my adult dog's coat looks incredibly shiny, thick, and healthy, and the puppies are thriving too. We have a history of sensitive stomachs in the family, but we've seen absolutely zero signs of allergies or digestive upset with this food. Lastly, the bag guidelines make measuring out the perfect portion size for both the growing pups and the nursing mum completely foolproof. Highly recommend!

Small, but packs a punch

by James

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] There was a little hesitation initially, but once we got her to try them she loved it. It's a slightly higher price than what we'd usually pay for dry food, but I think they are of a better quality, so it makes sense. There isn't an unbearable smell either, which is always a good thing

Made such a difference to my dogs health

by Rebecca

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Really good value for money. My dog loves this brand, and we buy it regularly. It doesn’t have much of a scent compared to other dog foods, and I’ve noticed it has really helped my dog get to a healthy weight and maintain it. I’ve also noticed that his coat looks healthier. It is a little expensive, but I feel it does a lot more than the cheaper options do.

High quality for your new arrival

by Wadh2767

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love high quality produce for my animals. It’s super important when you have a new addition to the family to ensure it starts in the best way possible. Ingredients are great and the bag will last a while, meaning we can focus on socialising rather than worrying about what she’s eating. She started on Purina but this was far better for her and her digestion improved. Texture was crunchy and the smell much less offensive than cheaper brands. No issues with the transition from one foot to another either - she ate it straight away.

Dachshund approved!

by Danny

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My Dachshund’s absolutely loved the Canin dry starter puppy food. They are currently 6 weeks old and enjoy them dry and with wet puppy food. Very small bite size pieces, easy to chew and swallow. The pups are full on energy and stools are normal. The resealable bag keeps the dry food preserved. Overall great and I’ve already purchased another bag.

Puppies we’re eating it out my hands.

by Sophie

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The dogs were so excited to eat this food, they were eating it out of my hand. The dog food doesn’t have a lot of dust, which for me has always been a pet hate. The pieces are small enough for their little mouths, so no worry of choking. They ate the required amount in seconds and were waiting for more. It is good value for money, especially when it’s on offer. The way my puppies eat it, it looks like I’ll need a few bags!

Amazing

by Youcef

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The portioning is amazing. It’s very easy for the puppies to digest the food. The odour is not as strong as you think, which is a good thing. Good for the breed of the dogs.

Happy pup

by Sophie stanford

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] She absolutely loved this kibble and to know I am best supporting her and the puppies health and nutrition at this important time is fundamental!

Quality food

by Samantha

My little girl had 2 absolutely beautiful puppies 8 weeks ago. When I received this product I gave it to them for their dinner and they absolutely loved it! This is now their main food staple in their diet which they also have with puppy milk! They got weighed at the vets last week and are perfectly healthy in every way. Mum also has this to help with milk production and she is still lactating like a champ!

Dogs love this superfood

by Mustafa Alagozlu

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Packaging is bright and fun and good seal for storage. Instructions are clear and simple. Great value for money you get good portion sizes. My dog loves every crumb

Pup loves it

by Hope -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. My pup loved trying this new food. She enjoyed the freshness and had no problems with digestion. She’s constantly used it for the last couple of weeks. Would recommend to any new pup.

Dry food

by James dunham -

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This dog food is absolutely perfect it has everything needed for the mum and puppy's needs to support health and strong immune system which is always needed at vulnerable stages of their development

My dog loves it

by Sebastiano -

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review]

I've been feeding my dog, Amie, Royal Canin Starter Mother & Babydog Mini Dry Dog Food, and I'm very pleased with it. Amie is an adult mum, and she absolutely loves this food, eating every meal with enthusiasm.

The kibble is very small, making it ideal for small dogs. After a couple of weeks, I've noticed her coat looks shinier, healthier, and feels softer.

The 4kg bag offers great value, as it lasts a long time thanks to the small daily portions.

Overall, I'm impressed with the quality of this food. Amie enjoys it, and I've seen clear improvements in her coat and overall condition. I'll definitely buy it again and would recommend it to other owners of small dogs.

Perfect for small puppies

by Kirsty

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Very happy with this. The kibble is the perfect size for small puppies. He enjoyed eating it from the start and has been easy and gentle on his tummy with no digestive issues. Kept him full of energy and the 4kg bag is good value for money. Packaging makes it easy to keep it sealed and fresh.

A fave

by Art -

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was unsure how the dogs would take to this food, they can be quite fussy at times but as soon as I opened it they were straight in. I didn’t even get a chance to put it in the bowl. They seem to love it and it doesn’t smell too bad either. I can only assume they like the taste and texture and a bonus is that it seems full of the good stuff looking at the ingredients!

Great size

by Cazzie Stevenson -

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My sister puppy really loved this kibble as it's a good size for puppies and they eat it really quickly. The size is also good because they can’t choke on the kibble there was so sign of digestive issues the quality is really good and really happy and will be buying again

Perfect mum and puppy food

by Melissa Green

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This Royal Canin Starter Mother & Babydog food is amazing and the best I have ever used. The mum is quite fussy with her food, so I was unsure if she would take to it, but she never turned her nose up once. It’s also perfect, as it’s full of nutrients and vitamins, so it’s great for mum and puppies. I will definitely be using this from now on and would definitely recommend.

Excellent product

by Mia Carter -

Couldn't have managed the weaning process without this food Very easy for the mum to eat too
