Birth Programme.
Inspired by professional research, BIRTH PROGRAMME is a unique nutritional solution which meets the needs of the bitch and her puppies during the first five stages of life cycle: gestation, birth, lactation, weaning and growth up to two months.
GESTATION/LACTATION SUPPORT
Nutritional profile which is adapted to the bitch’s high energy needs at end of gestation and during lactation.
IDEAL FOR TRANSITION FROM MILK
Nutritional response which facilitates the transition from mother’s milk to solid food (energy value, quality protein, fats).
EASY REHYDRATION
The kibbles easily rehydrate to a porridge-like consistency which is very palatable for the bitch and her weaning puppies.
