All about milk for kittens ROYAL CANIN

The question of artificial feeding of newborn kittens can sometimes arise quite suddenly. There are situations when a cat does not have milk, or she simply refuses to feed her offspring. In this case, a breast milk substitute that is close to natural comes to the rescue. Read more about milk formula for kittens from ROYAL CANIN further in the article.

ROYAL CANIN milk for kittens is a high-quality product, as close as possible to the composition of natural mother's milk of a cat, enriched with proteins and docosahexaenoic acid, with the necessary nutritional and taste properties.

The product is available in powder form for preparing milk formula. Thanks to the improved formula, it completely dissolves in water to a homogeneous consistency, which greatly facilitates the feeding process. The controlled atmosphere bags in which the powder is packed allow maximum preservation of its taste and nutritional value, even during long-term storage.

Designed for artificial feeding of kittens from the moment of birth to the moment of weaning from the mother (0-2 months). Developed in accordance with the characteristics of the digestive system of animals of this age.

One container contains three sachets of controlled atmosphere blending powder, each weighing 100 g. And also the kit immediately contains everything you need for feeding: a graduated bottle, a set of nipples with holes of various sizes, a measuring spoon. Detailed instructions for use are attached to the package.

ROYAL CANIN formula powder contains:

• milk proteins and fats;

• vegetable oils, which contain arachidonic acid;

• whey proteins;

• fish oil, which is a source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA);

• minerals;

• fructooligosaccharides.

And also this dry food contains vital additives:

• vitamin A - 25,000 ME;

• cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) - 1500 ME;

• tocopherol (vitamin E) - 600 mg;

• vitamin C - 300 MG;

• B vitamins;

• biotin - 1 mg;

• folic acid - 3.2 mg;

• choline - 3000 mg;

• iron - 100 mg;

• taurine - 2.5 g;

• antioxidants.

All proteins contained in the milk replacer are carefully selected, so they are easily and maximally absorbed by the digestive system of a newborn kitten. It is important that there is no starch in the composition, since the gastrointestinal tract of kittens at this age is not able to produce enzymes for the digestion of this heavy carbohydrate.

The amount of lactose in ROYAL CANIN is the same as in breast milk. This is also of great importance, since newborn kittens are not able to absorb high doses of lactose.

The milk replacer is fortified with DHA. This acid is indispensable for the proper development of the nervous system, which is still developing at this age.

Vitamin A promotes good eyesight, strengthens the kitten's immunity and ensures the growth of the whole body. Vitamin D maintains the required level of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, thereby preventing the development of rickets, provides strong teeth and bones. Vitamin E has a positive effect on the condition of the coat and skin. B vitamins take part in the development of the neuromuscular system, improve appetite.

An indispensable amino acid - taurine - helps digestion, namely: it participates in the process of digesting fats. It is necessary for the successful course of almost all vital processes in the cat's body.
