"Royal canin Puppy Starter."

"Royal Canin Starter mother and babies"
Posted byRahel Westlakeon18th Apr 2021Have been feeding this to my dog since late pregnancy after getting a recommendation from a vet and after the puppies were born. She is doing really well on it, eating like there is no tomorrow, despite generally being a picky eater and puppies are growing well. She is looking really good too and has plenty of milk. Have just started the puppies on it and they just love it. Didn't take much for them to figure it out. So yep, am happy with this food.
