ROYAL CANIN®’s Veterinary Care Nutrition ranges are available through vets, and are precisely formulated for specific needs. VCN Paediatric Start Large is designed for 25-45kg bitches during pregnancy and lactation, and for their puppies up to two months of age. The high energy density enables a reduced amount of food to be given per meal, decreases the intestinal workload and compensating for the low stomach capacity in puppies, and bitches in the last 3rd of gestation. At the start of the weaning period, dry kibble can be moistened with twice its volume in water at 60°C to form a porridge. Allow the mixture to rest and cool before feeding. The kibbles are specifically designed to facilitate this.
