Caring for a new litter starts with the right nutrition. Royal Canin Mini Starter is designed for small-breed mothers and their puppies during the most demanding early stages of life — late gestation, lactation, and weaning.

The formula supports the mother’s high energy needs and helps puppies build strong digestive and immune foundations. At the heart of this recipe is Royal Canin’s Start Complex, a blend inspired by the nutrients found in a mother’s milk along with added ingredients that promote healthy digestion and natural defenses.

The kibble softens instantly when mixed with warm water, turning into a smooth, easy-to-eat consistency that helps puppies transition from milk to solid food without stress. This makes it an ideal option for both nursing mothers and pups up to two months old who are just learning to eat on their own.

Suitable for small-breed mothers and puppies up to 2 months old.
