Complete food for good digestion
This food is well made to help with digestion, a great step up from milk and finally a great transition for the puppies to help them keep growing healthily.

Great beginner product for puppies & mothers
I would go so far as to say that this is the best product as a stand alone food, both for the mum and her puppies. My pug mum is very fussy, but she loves this stuff. I'd recommend

Brilliant
I have weaned many cavalier puppies on the mini starter and have to say it is brilliant. Puppies love it right from the word go and do very well on it. Great for feeding to the mum too.

Amazing!
I have a petite pug bitch who self whelped and successfully raised 6 chunky, chubby, healthy puppies. This was recommended to me by my stud dog's breeder and I am so glad I took her advice.
The vet's are constantly amazed at the size and condition of the puppies and how little condition she lost while feeding them.
I would not be without this product and can only echo the other poster, please, NEVER stop making this product!!!

Amazing!
This was my third litter and I switched to Mini Starter this year and the pups and mum all did fantastic on it. Highly recommend this product. Will definitely keep the pups on Royal Canin as they grow.

BEST PUPPY STARTER FOOD EVER MADE!!!
I am a Chihuahua Breeder and since coming accross this food have used it on my bitches approximately 2 weeks prior to giving birth & up to 6 weeks after whelping. I also wean the puppies from 3-4 weeks and feed them on this fantastic food up to 6 weeks of age and then transfer them on to Royal Canin Junior. Since using this product i can honestly say i have never lost a puppy! Just healthy, thriving, chubby little bundles of joy! My vet was so impressed by the fabulous condition of the mother & the pups body condition at their 6 week vet check, that he has since recommended it to some of his Small Breed Clients. I would also recommend this food to ANY SIZE Breed, where the bitch or the puppies might require an extra boost of nutritional help. This food seems to be so palatable, as i have never seen ONE tiny pellet left on any plate to-date!! Well worth the price for the super super results! Well done Royal Canin .... please never stop making it!!!
