Baby Holi Kit

That's it! The delivery has taken place and mother cat or dog can finally rest. Well, almost, because managing a bunch of newborns and then young teenagers is relatively demanding. 

Growth is a crucial period for their future well-being and requires maximum energy to fully realize itself. Very weak, puppies and kittens keep their eyes closed during the first days for the simple reason that their eyes have not finished developing at birth. During the first two weeks, they will keep them closed. During this stage, they will need to be protected from strong light, the dangers of the outside world and the paws of their littermates. 

Our little balls of fur need access to the first milk secreted by the mother: colostrum, rich in antibodies. During the two days following birth, the puppy or kitten must also be kept warm. 

Puppy Nutritional Needs 

A puppy needs a balanced diet to ensure optimal growth. It is essential to choose a diet rich in nutrients and energy intake (good quality proteins, suitable protein/fat ratio) and to supplement with the products in our HOLI - BABY KIT to avoid deficiencies unfortunately induced by a diet of low quality kibble and to reduce the risks of growth disorders in large dog breeds. 

It is imperative to measure a puppy's food rations by following the recommendations indicated on your dog food packet. Remember: You should never feed a puppy at will, there are risks in overfeeding! 

Joints: Excess calcium is dangerous 

During the first 5 months of his life, your puppy is not able to protect himself from excess calcium in his diet. If there is too much calcium in the diet, it risks depositing in his growth cartilages which will cause irreversible osteoarticular abnormalities . It is also advisable to limit any intense exercise on a slope (uphill or downhill): the weight is then shifted to the front or hindquarters and puts too much strain on his very fragile joints. 

As you can see on the X-ray, the bones of 8- to 10-week-old puppies do not touch. This explains their uncertain gait; their joints are made entirely of muscles, tendons and ligaments covered with skin. Therefore, they are still very fragile. Be aware that if you use their limbs too much, you are jeopardizing the healthy growth of their skeleton. Indeed, with each intense blow, there is a risk of impacting the bones which, in the long run, could damage them. Be careful with hikes that are too long or movements that are too sudden which risk damaging their skeleton.

Puppies' bones and joints are still developing until they are at least 18 to 24 months old. Too much exercise or walking can seriously damage their bone and joint structures beyond repair. 

For our feline friends, up to six months, your kitten is growing very quickly. 

From six months of age, your kitten's growth will slow down considerably. By 12 months of age, your snooping cat will still seem like a kitten and will likely still get into some mischief. However, by 9 to 12 months, many cats are almost fully grown. By one year of age, your kitten will generally be considered an adult (even if you think he's not acting like one yet). 

With his small stomach capacity, your hungry kitten not only needs multiple daily servings of food (he might need up to 18 meals a day and night to be satisfied if he were free in the wild), but he also needs food that is high in protein and fat, and balanced in minerals to meet his energy needs. 

In addition, as you know, kittens have energy to spare. With all this intense play and fighting, its growth, it is especially important for your feline companion to have quality food, nutritionally complete and balanced. It will provide a healthy foundation for the rest of its life. That is why it is in your best interest to give your companion food specially formulated for kittens until it reaches the age of one year, supplemented by the HOLI-BÉBÉ Kit to ensure optimal physical and mental development. 

Your pet's growth is unique. It depends on many factors (breed, lifestyle, etc.) and must be controlled to ensure a healthy skeleton and organs once they are adults. This kit has been designed to promote the growth of young puppies and kittens through the different stages of growth.
