💧 Rehydrating the Kibble
Royal Canin states that Maxi Starter kibble can be rehydrated to a porridge-like consistency, helping puppies transition from mother’s milk to solid food.
Feeding Instructions: Feed according to the puppy’s age and expected adult weight, or the mother’s body weight and stage of pregnancy/lactation. Maxi Starter kibble may be rehydrated with water to make a soft porridge for weaning puppies. Always provide fresh drinking water and follow the feeding guide printed on the product packaging.
