I’ve tried a few different starter formulas over the years, but Royal Canin Maxi Starter Mother & Babydog has been a game-changer — especially for raising puppies in Dubai’s heat. My German Shepherd gave birth during a humid April, and I was really worried about hydration and digestion.
This food made weaning so smooth. The kibble turns into a soft, porridge-like texture that my pups loved instantly. No tummy issues, and they stayed active and alert from week one. The mother dog’s coat stayed shiny, and she didn’t lose weight during lactation — a big win.
I also love that it's formulated specifically for large breeds and tested for UAE conditions. No other brand I’ve tried does this.
Highly recommend this to any breeder or dog parent in the UAE looking for a safe, digestible, vet-trusted starter food.
