If your dog is pregnant or has recently given birth, it’s important that both she and her puppies have the right nutritional support to ensure continued health for the mother, and the best start possible for her puppies. ROYAL CANIN® Giant Starter Mother & Babydog contains all the nutrients your dog needs to support them during pregnancy and throughout the lactation period. Containing a high protein, energy, and mineral content, this food caters to the dietary requirements of both the mother and her pups. The ‘Start Complex’ feature is the result of committed scientific research by ROYAL CANIN®. It’s an exclusive combination of nutritional elements which are present in the mother’s milk. Reinforced with special nutrients, Start Complex actively contributes to supporting your puppies’ digestive health and natural defences while they’re still in the early stages of development. ROYAL CANIN® Starter Mother & Babydog is also available as an ultra soft moose, offering a high level of palatability with the same nutritional support and digestibility.

"It's not often I encounter an online store with such brilliant pricing and speedy delivery!  I am used to waiting a week, sometimes two, for our dog food to be delivered and having to rush out to the local shops to buy kibble to tide us over until delivery. I've now set a monthly reminder on my phone to ensure that I order from you in future."
 
Thank you very much for such an excellent service!

"I would like to thank you for taking such good care of Zara. She surely was in good hands! It seems we missed her more than she did us!" Hanneli Dalton

"Thanks for looking after our “children” for the weekend. It makes such a difference leaving them with your caring team."

Barbara Kraner

"I am taking all my dogs for the past 18 years to La Brie. Best place to leave your dog’s when you are not home."

Wilna van Tonder

"We would like to thank you for taking care of our two children whilst we were away! Your care and love is really appreciated!"

Rentia and John Withers

"Tammy is a 6 year old, red female Persian. Something must have happened to her at La Brie: My snobbish little cat turned out a darling! She didn’t disappear in her hiding place. She continued to eat and drink and play, and talks to me with sweet soft “mew-mews”. She even coaches me to come to bed with her at night!

Thank you so much for taking good care of her. I’ll bring her again next time, and perhaps she will behave in a less regal, more ordinary way."

Annatjie

"Ons is skaars terug en ek moet alweer reelings tref vir my 2 katte! Ek wil sommer die geleentheid gebruik om BAIE DANKIE te se vir die versorging van ons 2 katte! Hulle het pragtig gelyk en was glad geborsel toe ek hulle kom haal het Maandag."

Isobel Calitz

"Our dogs were very happy to see us after our holiday, and I would like to thank all of you for keeping them happy for the duration of their stay with you!"
