Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition Mother & Babycat Dry Cat Food
What is Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition Mother & Babycat Dry Cat Food?
Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition Mother & Babycat Dry Cat Food is complete and balanced nutrition for cats - Specially for the gestating and lactating queen and her kittens (from 1 to 4 months old) during weaning. This kitten food's unique nutritional solution supports mother cats (pregnant or nursing) and the high energy needs and healthy development of growing newborn kittens (1-4 months). Baby cats grow so quickly and require tailored nutrition that meets their specific needs. A mother cat’s milk has protective antibodies to support her kitten’s natural defenses. But as a baby cat transitions to eating solids, their immune systems are still developing. This “immunity gap” leaves a kitten in a fragile state. With growing bones, emerging teeth, and developing immune and digestive systems, they need the right nutrition to grow strong.
Suitable for:
Cats (Adult, Gestating & Lactating Cats, & Kittens, 1- 4 months old)
Benefits:
- FORMUALTED TO SUPPORT MOTHER & BABYCAT HEALTH: Royal Canin Mother & Babycat Dry Cat Food is a unique nutritional solution that supports mother cats (pregnant or nursing) and the healthy growth and development of newborn kittens (1-4 months)
