Description

The weaning transition is one of the most delicate periods in a kitten's early life. Royal Canin Mother & Babycat wet food offers an ultra-fine mousse texture that kittens as young as 4 weeks can lap without difficulty, requiring no chewing or preparation.

A scientifically proven complex with vitamins E and C supports immune development during the critical period when maternal antibodies begin to decline. DHA contributes to brain and vision development during rapid neurological growth. The high energy density ensures small stomachs receive maximum nutrition from each meal.

This mousse pairs with Mother & Babycat dry food for a gradual textural progression from liquid to mousse to moistened kibble to dry food, reducing weaning stress. Available in 195 g tins and 12x195 g packs.

Benefits

Strong immune system: Supports the development of the kitten's healthy immune system with the inclusion of a scientifically proven complex, including vitamins E and C.
Brain development: Enriched with an omega-3 fatty acid (DHA) to support the kitten's brain development and promote healthy vision.
