Why Choose Royal Canin Mother & Babycat?
1. Specialised Nutrition for Mothers and Kittens
Pregnancy, lactation, and early kitten growth create increased nutritional demands.
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat is formulated to support the mother during pregnancy and nursing while providing complete nutrition for kittens during the first stage of growth.
This makes it a convenient feeding solution for households caring for both a mother cat and her litter.
2. Supports Developing Natural Defences
During the first weeks of life, kittens receive immune protection from their mother's colostrum.
As this maternal protection gradually decreases, kittens begin developing their own immune responses.
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat contains an antioxidant complex including vitamin E to help support natural defences during early development.
This nutritional support does not replace vaccinations or veterinary preventive care.
3. Makes Weaning Easier
Transitioning from milk to solid food is an important milestone in kitten development.
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat features small kibble that can be easily rehydrated with water.
The softened texture helps kittens become familiar with solid food while they develop their chewing ability.
As kittens grow, the amount of added water can gradually be reduced.
4. DHA for Brain Development
DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid involved in normal brain and nervous system development.
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat is enriched with DHA to provide nutritional support during pregnancy, lactation, and early kitten growth.
5. Highly Digestible L.I.P. Proteins
Young kittens have developing digestive systems.
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat contains L.I.P. proteins, selected for their high digestibility.
These proteins help support efficient nutrient digestion and digestive tolerance during the transition to solid food.
6. Prebiotics for Digestive Health
The formula contains prebiotics, including fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS).
Prebiotics help support beneficial intestinal bacteria and contribute to a healthy digestive environment.
Together with highly digestible proteins, they support digestive function during early growth.
7. Complete Nutrition for Early Growth
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat provides complete and balanced nutrition for kittens during the first-age feeding stage.
It supports the transition to solid food while supplying nutrients needed for normal growth and development.
8. Suitable for Pregnant and Nursing Queens
Pregnant and nursing cats require nutrition that supports their changing energy and nutrient needs.
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat is specifically formulated for these life stages.
Feeding quantities for mother cats depend on pregnancy stage, body condition, and litter size.
9. Flexible Dry and Wet Feeding
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat is also available as an ultra-soft mousse.
The dry kibble and compatible mousse can be used together during weaning according to the manufacturer's feeding recommendations.
This allows kittens to experience different textures as they learn to eat solid food.
10. Larger 4kg Bag
The 4kg bag provides a larger supply for households feeding a mother cat and her kittens.
It is particularly practical when several kittens are eating the same formula.
Daily portions should still be measured according to each cat's individual needs.

How to Introduce Royal Canin Mother & Babycat During Weaning
Step 1: Soften the Kibble
Add clean water to the kibble to create a softer texture suitable for young kittens.
Allow the food to soften and check its temperature before serving.
Step 2: Offer Small, Frequent Meals
Young kittens benefit from appropriately sized meals throughout the day.
Divide the recommended daily allowance into suitable portions.
Step 3: Gradually Reduce Added Water
As kittens become more comfortable eating solid food, gradually reduce the water added to the kibble.
Step 4: Monitor Growth
Check your kittens' appetite, weight gain, stool quality, and activity.
Contact your veterinarian if a kitten struggles to eat or is not gaining weight appropriately.
Step 5: Transition to the Next Kitten Formula
Around 4 months of age, kittens generally transition to a second-stage kitten food.
Introduce the new diet gradually according to the manufacturer's instructions.
