How to give your kitten or puppy the perfect start in life

ROYAL CANIN’s Start of Life range of foods are developed with experts for optimal nutrition to best support your pet’s health

Having a pet is one of life’s great pleasures. Whether your cat likes to snuggle on your lap, happily purring away, or your dog enjoys a fun game of fetch in the garden, pets bring joy every day. And the best chance of keeping them healthy throughout their life is with food that’s tailored to their specific needs right from the beginning.

ROYAL CANIN’s pet foods are developed according to the principle that the health needs of every dog and cat are as individual as the animal itself. All sorts of factors can influence their development, from size and breed to their living conditions. That’s why ROYAL CANIN’s Start of Life ranges are developed alongside breeders and veterinary experts to tailor to your pet’s specific health needs as much as possible.

You can find both dry and wet nutritional solutions for dogs and cats from birth, right through to neutering or adulthood. Plus, exciting new wet ranges have recently been introduced for both cats and dogs.

Keeping kittens purring

Adapting cat food according to age makes a lot of sense when you think about how we approach early years feeding in our own species. Human babies obviously can’t eat like adults – they have fragile digestive systems and no teeth, so can’t bite into foods like apples. And Kittens and cats are just the same, just over a shorter time span.

Growth in kittens lasts for at least 12 months, depending on the breed and gender. But when ROYAL CANIN designed its range of foods for kittens, it wasn’t just about building their body strength and providing energy. It set out to contribute to a healthy development of the kitten, help them maintain a healthy immune system and support their growth.

New wet pouches are the latest additions to the Start of Life range, with chunks in gravy, chunks in jelly and loaf texture all available in 85g pouches for kittens.

Keeping puppies pouncing

As puppies grow, the composition, texture and size of their food needs to be adapted accordingly. What a puppy eats during these crucial growing phases can have a large impact on its future morphology.

That’s why ROYAL CANIN’s puppy food has been developed with a precise formula, using as many as 50 carefully selected nutrients. So, when you feed your puppy ROYAL CANIN, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that they are receiving a tailor-made formula to meet their nutritional requirements, taking into account their delicate digestive system.

And now, you can find new wet flavours including PUPPY Mini, Medium and Maxi chunks in gravy pouches, 85g size for Mini and 140g size for Medium and Maxi.
