The period from pregnancy through weaning is one of the most demanding and critical times for large-breed dogs and their puppies. Royal Canin Maxi Starter is uniquely formulated to serve dual purposes—providing pregnant and nursing large breed mothers (expected adult weight 26-44 kg) with intensive nutrition for healthy pregnancy and abundant milk production, while offering their puppies appropriate first solid food during the crucial weaning phase from 3 weeks to 2 months of age.
Large-breed mother dogs have dramatically increased energy needs during pregnancy and especially during lactation. The demands are even greater than for smaller breeds due to their size and typically larger litter sizes. This formula delivers high energy density with premium proteins, essential fatty acids, and balanced nutrients that support milk production without depleting the mother’s body reserves. The easily digestible ingredients ensure mothers can efficiently convert food into rich, nutritious milk. The formula helps maintain the mother’s body condition throughout the demanding nursing period.
For puppies, this serves as the ideal first solid food. The kibble can be easily rehydrated into a soft porridge consistency for very young puppies just beginning to wean around 3-4 weeks, then gradually offered in its dry form as they grow stronger. The Start Complex is an exclusive combination of nutrients, including vitamins E and C that strengthens developing immune systems as puppies transition from passive immunity provided by mother’s milk to building their own defenses. The highly digestible proteins and balanced nutrients support rapid growth during the most vulnerable period of a large breed puppy’s life.
The kibble size and texture are carefully designed for both mothers and puppies. Nursing mothers can easily eat adequate quantities to meet their elevated needs. Young puppies can manage the rehydrated or dry kibble as their teeth and jaws develop. Whether you’re a breeder in Lahore managing German Shepherd or Labrador litters, a family in Karachi whose large breed dog just had puppies, or someone in Islamabad caring for newborns, this dual-purpose formula simplifies nutrition during this critical time. We deliver Royal Canin Maxi Starter throughout Lahore and across Pakistan, ensuring large breed mothers and babies get specialized nutrition during these demanding weeks.
