Product Description

Product Overview

Royal Canin Babycat Milk Kitten Milk Replacer – 300g is a complete milk replacer specially formulated for newborn kittens from birth to weaning, approximately 0–2 months of age.

It is designed for kittens that require supplementary or replacement feeding when the mother’s milk is unavailable, insufficient, or unsuitable. Its nutritional profile is formulated to be as close as possible to maternal milk, with an adapted lactose content, highly digestible proteins, prebiotics and no added starch.

Royal Canin Babycat Milk is enriched with DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid naturally found in maternal milk, to help support early brain development. Prebiotics and highly digestible proteins help support the immature digestive system and intestinal microbiota during this important early growth stage.

The powder is designed to dissolve quickly and evenly when prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The 300g pack shown contains 3 × 100g sachets, and a nursing kit is included.

Feeding Guide

Royal Canin recommends following the feeding table supplied with the physical product, as the appropriate volume depends on the kitten’s age and individual requirements.

For preparation, the supplied manufacturer instructions state:

Mix 10ml of Babycat Milk powder with 20ml of low-mineral-content bottled water at approximately 50°C, then serve lukewarm according to the enclosed feeding instructions.

Prepared milk should be used according to the directions included with the product, and the appropriate quantity should be based on the kitten’s age and condition.

For very young, orphaned, weak, or unwell kittens, feeding should be discussed with a veterinarian because inappropriate feeding volume or technique can cause serious problems.

How to Prepare

• Use clean feeding equipment.

• Use low-mineral-content bottled water as directed by the manufacturer.

• Prepare using the manufacturer’s stated ratio of 10ml powder to 20ml water.

• Water should be approximately 50°C during preparation.

• Mix thoroughly until the formula is homogeneous.

• Allow it to become lukewarm before feeding.

• Follow the enclosed feeding guide for the correct amount and frequency.

• Prepare and handle the nursing equipment hygienically.

• Do not use damaged feeding teats.

• Once kittens begin developing teeth and are able to lap safely, follow the manufacturer’s transition instructions toward bowl feeding and appropriate kitten food.

Weaning Guide

Royal Canin Babycat Milk is intended for use from birth through the weaning period.

As kittens become old enough to begin weaning, Babycat Milk can be used as part of the transition toward an appropriate Royal Canin kitten starter or kitten food.

The exact timing of weaning can vary between kittens, so follow the physical pack instructions and veterinary guidance where necessary.
