The cat’s feline nature is always a matter of fascination. He adapts with apparent ease to daily life, and yet he has behavioral and nutritional requirements of his own. Knowing them and respecting them will guarantee his well-being and his health.

Pregnancy and lactation (small and medium breeds)

All dogs - From weaning to 2 months
Starter
Starter

Puppies from weaning to 2 monthsSmall and medium breeds:

- Bitches from the 6th to the 9th week of pregnancy

- Lactating bitches

Indications
  • Puppies from weaning to 2 months of age
  • Bitches from the 6th to the 9th week of pregnancy
  • Lactating bitches

Combination of highly digestible proteins (L.I.P* proteins), prebiotics (fructooligo- saccharides & mannan-oligo-saccharides), sugar beet pulp, rice and fish oil to ensure maximum digestive security *L.I.P. (Low Indigestible Protein): protein selected because of its very high assimilation

Association of Mannan-Oligo-Saccharides (MOS) with a patented synergistic antioxidant complex including high contents of Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Taurine & Luteine, to support natural defences of growing dogs

The high energy density enables a reduced amount of food to be given per meal, decreases the intestinal workload and compensates for the low stomach capacity in puppies

At the start of the weaning, the dry food must be given copiously moistened with boiled water or hot bitch’s milk to form a mush. The size, consistency and shape of these specific kibbles are designed to reach that goal

Dry food
Packaging size: 1.5 kg bag, 10.0 kg bag
