Key Benefits of Royal Canin Mother & Babycat Food
Immune System Support
At weaning, which is between four to twelve weeks, kittens are orphaned from the passive immunity they received from their mother. This formula contains a patented blend of antioxidants (vitamin E and C, lutein and taurine) to support natural protection during this critical period.
Facilitates Easy Weaning
One of the keys to this product is that it is small enough that the would-be predators’ small jaws and newly-erupted milk teeth can more easily bite it. This is easy to rehydrate to a semi-soft texture that enables a stress free transition from consuming liquid milk to solid foods.
Promotes Digestive Health
Kittens are born with an immature gastrointestinal tract which continues to develop as a kitten grows older. This formula also uses highly digestible proteins such as L.I.P., and prebiotic such as fructo oligosaccharides FOS promoting gentle digestion and healthy digestive systems.
Supplemented with DHA for Brain Health
DHA which originates from maternal diets plays an essential role in cerebral development in kittens during gestation and lactation periods, so as to enhance cerebral functions and growth and development of the fetal cerebrum.
Special Diet for Mother and Her Young Ones
Intended for energy and nutrient requirements of the gestating/lactating female and growing kittens, this food promotes overall health of the entire clan.
