Product Description
If your cat is pregnant or has given birth recently, both she and her kittens must have the correct nutritional support to ensure continued health for the mother, and the best start possible for the kittens. ROYAL CANIN® Mother & Babycat cat food 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, Royal Canin mother & baby cat contains a complex of antioxidants that help to support the kittens' natural defenses. 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 dry food is specially enhanced for digestive tolerance as it reduces the number 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 cat 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.
Product Features
Support For Immune System
In the initial weeks following birth, specifically between 4 and 12 weeks, a kitten’s natural immunity, acquired from its mother’s colostrum, starts to diminish gradually. The unique formula of MOTHER & BABYCAT is designed to bolster the young kitten's immune defenses, featuring a special blend of antioxidants, including vitamin E.
Supporting Digestive Health
A kitten's digestive system is immature at birth and continues to develop over the subsequent weeks. Hence, it's critical to nurture digestive health throughout their growth phase. MOTHER & BABYCAT aids in enhancing digestive health by incorporating highly digestible proteins (L.I.P.*) and prebiotics. *These proteins are chosen for their exceptionally high digestibility.
Microbiome Support
The product features a combination of prebiotics and highly digestible proteins, aimed at fostering a balanced intestinal microbiota for optimal digestive health.
