From birth to 3 weeks

Neonate Phase 

You might not think there’s much happening at this point because your puppy will spend most of the time sleeping. But behind those snoozing eyes, their development is racing ahead. By the time they’re a couple of weeks old, your puppy will already be starting to walk, taking tentative steps to explore their new world. And as they start to interact, their protection from the maternal immunity progressively decreases.

If they can’t have their mother’s milk, that’s where ROYAL CANIN® BabyDog instant milk can help. It’s formulated to have a similar lactose content as their mother’s milk, and because they still have delicate digestion, it doesn’t include irritants such as starch which can upset their system.

From 4.5 to 6 months

Juvenile Phase

As they continue growing in confidence, your puppy’s diet stays the same and it’s the calcium and phosphorus present in the ROYAL CANIN® Puppy that helps turn each bite into an opportunity to strengthen their bones and teeth. Getting the right nutritional support at this stage is crucial as your fragile puppy is building bones that within a year will be four times stronger than concrete. Impressive isn’t it!
