Feline Health Nutrition Babycat Milk 300 g

Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition Babycat Milk 300 g is a specially formulated milk powder designed for newborn kittens and orphaned kittens who are not able to nurse from their mother. It provides a complete nutritional substitute to ensure proper growth and development during the first few weeks of life, which are critical for a kitten's overall health and immune system development.

Key Features of Babycat Milk:

1. Complete Nutritional Formula for Kittens:

   • Royal Canin Babycat Milk is designed to closely match the composition of a mother cat’s milk. It contains high-quality proteins, fats, and essential nutrients to support the rapid growth of kittens, which is particularly important during their first few weeks of life.
   • This formula is ideal for kittens from birth to about 4 weeks old, or until they are able to transition to solid food.

2. Rich in Nutrients for Immune Support:

   • The milk powder contains natural antibodies, known as colostrum, to help support the developing immune system of the kitten. This is crucial during the first weeks of life when kittens are particularly vulnerable to infections.
   • These antibodies help provide passive immunity, mimicking the protection they would receive from their mother’s milk.

3. Easy to Digest:

   • The formula is designed to be easy to digest for very young kittens, with lactose as the primary carbohydrate. The milk contains the right balance of lactose to provide energy and support healthy digestion.
   • DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid), an essential omega-3 fatty acid, is included to support brain and eye development during the early stages of life.

4. Optimal Growth & Development:

   • The specific balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates ensures that kittens get all the essential nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. This is crucial for building muscle mass, strong bones, and developing their nervous system.
   • The formula supports steady weight gain and encourages healthy growth patterns for kittens during this critical time.

5. Adapted to Kittens’ Sensitive Digestive Systems:

   • Since kittens have very sensitive digestive systems, Royal Canin Babycat Milk is specially formulated to be easy on their tummies. It contains prebiotics (like fructooligosaccharides) to promote gut health and balance the digestive flora.

6. Convenient & Easy to Prepare:

   • Babycat Milk is in powder form, which can be easily mixed with warm water to create a smooth milk substitute. It’s ideal for bottle feeding orphaned kittens or kittens whose mothers are unable to nurse.

7. Safe & Reliable:

   • As with all Royal Canin products, Babycat Milk is formulated to meet the highest safety and quality standards, ensuring that kittens get the best nutrition available when they need it most.

How to Use Babycat Milk:

• Preparation: Mix the appropriate amount of powder with warm water (around 40°C / 104°F). The exact amount of powder and water will depend on the kitten’s age and weight. It is important to follow the guidelines on the packaging for proper dilution.
• Feeding: Use a kitten bottle and nipple for feeding. Make sure to feed the kitten every 2-4 hours for the first few weeks, depending on their age and weight.
• Transition to Solid Food: After the first few weeks of life (around 3-4 weeks), you can start transitioning kittens to wet kitten food or a specially formulated kitten kibble as they begin to develop their teeth and start weaning.
