What do we feed our dogs?

Royal Canin Professional Range - on recommendation from our vet a couple of years ago. We switched to this brand and can't praise it enough.

Depending on their life stage (or reproductive stage) we feed our dogs specialised professional range food from Royal Canin for optimal health  to ensure that they are getting exactly what they need from their diet. 

To offer a bit of variety (in taste and in texture), we offer them both wet and dry food, following the recommended portions from Royal Canin and our vet.

Maxi Starter Professional Reproduction - Royal Canin. 

A complete feed for dogs - For the large breed mother (from 26 to 44 kg) and her puppies: for the mother at the end of gestation and during lactation, and for weaning puppies up to 2 months old.

Newborn puppies have unique nutritional requirements to help support their developing senses and nervous systems. What's more, feeding growing puppies is a strenuous task that can take its toll on your large dog's metabolism. During the weaning period when the litter are transitioning to solid food, your dog and her nursing puppies need a tailored diet to meet their unique nutritional needs. ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog is specially formulated to support the nutritional needs of new mothers and their puppies. This formula is suitable for large adult dogs that weigh between 26 and 44kg, and for weaning puppies up to 2 months old. Large dogs often have big litters - sometimes of more than 10 puppies - and this is very demanding on their metabolism. This tailored diet is specially adapted to meet your large dog's high energy needs at the end of gestation and during lactation. It's also formulated to support the healthy development of nursing puppies. This formula contains nutrients such as vitamins C and E to help support natural defences. Thanks to a combination of beneficial prebiotics (such as MOS) and highly digestible proteins, ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog also helps to support a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota (gut flora) for good digestion. This formula is enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) to help support healthy brain development in young puppies. The kibble in ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog is easy to rehydrate with water, giving it an appetising porridge texture that's ideal for weaning puppies. Did you know that a puppy's nutritional needs change as they grow? In the short span of 8 weeks, your puppies will need a diet that's specially adapted to meet their nutritional needs during the next growth phase. At this stage, you can transition them onto ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy, available either as a dry kibble diet or with wet chunks in gravy. At Royal Canin, we're committed to creating a better world for cats and dogs. For more than 50 years, we've worked closely with breeders, vets, and pet experts, sharing specialist knowledge and scientific research to create a dedicated approach to individualised, precise nutritional solutions. All of our products undergo an extensive quality control process to guarantee the optimal quality of food. When your large dog and her puppies eat ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog, they're getting a complete and balanced diet.

During your large-breed puppy’s growth period, they need enough calories and the right nutrients for their developing skeletal, nervous and sensory systems. This can be a challenge for puppies of this size: because they are susceptible to bone and joint problems, high levels of calcium or vitamins can be harmful. As younger puppies gradually lose the ‘antibody shield’ provided by their mother’s colostrum, they also need optimal protein to build their own immune system. ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy in Gravy is specially formulated to support the nutritional needs of large-breed puppies. This formula is suitable for 2 to 15-month-old large-breed puppies that should reach an adult weight of 26-44 kg. This tailored diet contains appetising chunks in gravy, designed with a size, texture and taste that’s perfect for large breed, growing puppies. This formula contains nutrients such as vitamins C and E to help support the puppies’ natural defences while their immune systems are still developing. The formula is also enriched with omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) to help support healthy brain development in puppies. Thanks to a combination of beneficial prebiotics and highly digestible proteins, ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy in Gravy also helps to support a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota (gut flora) for good digestion. ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy in Gravy has been created to satisfy the most discerning canine palate. This wet food offers your puppy a positive sensory experience, supports healthy hydration and is perfect for mixed feeding with the ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Puppy dry kibble diet.

At this stage, you can transition them onto ROYAL CANIN® Maxi Adult, available either as a dry kibble diet or with wet chunks in gravy. At Royal Canin, we’re committed to creating a better world for cats and dogs.
