Royal Canin Mini Starter Dog food with adjusted nutrient density and energy content For bitches during gestation and lactation For weaning of puppies from four weeks of age A female dog´s weight and size will increase dramatically in the last 3-4 weeks of pregnancy and the bitch will need more food to keep herself going. Offer several small portions a day as pregnancy will prevent her from taking in large amounts of food at once. During
lactation bitches need the right amount of energy for milk production and lots of water. A generous energy intake will prevent weight loss. Regardless of the size of the litter a lactating bitch needs 2 to 3 times her usual energy intake. She therefore needs a food with the right nutrient density and energy contents. Puppies can be fed semi-solid food from three to four weeks of age. Puppies are now developed enough to be needing less maternal milk and take in more and more solid food.
