Royal Canin Mother & Babycat Dry Cat Food – 2kg

Product Description

Product Overview

Royal Canin Mother & Babycat – 2kg is a complete dry cat food specially formulated for queens at the end of gestation and during lactation, as well as young kittens from 1 to 4 months of age.

The formula is adapted to the high energy requirements of mother cats while supporting healthy development during a kitten’s first growth stage. A scientifically proven complex including vitamins C and E supports healthy immune system development, while DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, supports brain development and healthy vision.

A combination of highly digestible proteins and prebiotics, including MOS, helps promote a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota and supports digestive health. The kibble is also rehydratable with water, creating a softer porridge-like texture suitable for kittens during weaning and transition from milk to solid food.
