Picky kitten loves this!
:"My picky kitten was rejecting everything but loved this food straight away, expensive but worth it so that he finally eats. (Not to be confused with the royal canin kitten in jelly - he hates this one"
Wet food for young, growing cats in the 2nd growth phase (4-12 months), helping support healthy development and strengthen the immune system, offering essential energy and suitable for pregnant cats.
When your cat first arrives in the world, it has plenty of things to discover. Its mother's milk can help support a kitten in this phase, but from the 4th month of life your kitten enters the second phase of growth and development, when it will move away from mother's milk. This Royal Canin Kitten in Gravy has been developed to make the weaning process easier.
Your kitten is not yet a cat!
Kittens require specifically tailored nutrition.
Imagine we are talking about human beings - would you feed your baby the same diet as an adult? Of course not! Babies have a sensitive digestive system, small jaws and no teeth, so could not, for example, bite into an apple as an adult could. Comparisons such as this make it easier to understand why our young pets require a whole different kind of food from their adult counterparts.
With a few breed- and gender-specific different, cats up to 12 months need tailored diets in order to reach healthy adulthood. The Royal Canin Kitten range offers your kitten the perfect start, so you can choose the ideal combination of wet and dry food.
The time frame between when a mother cat's protection is no longer enough and your kitten's own immune system has not yet developed properly can cause an "immunological gap".
Chewing is also limited. Nutrients reach the stomach without being properly pre-digested by enzymes in the saliva.
Kittens need many small meals, sometimes eating 10-16 times per day.
Royal Canin Kitten in Gravy contains a nutrient profile in its recipe that instinctively appeals to kittens. It offers good flavour, smell and texture, ensuring long-term, instinctive acceptance of this high-quality nutrition. This wet food contains all essential nutrients to meet the high energy need of kittens. It is easy to chew thanks to small chunks in gravy, jelly or loaf.
Benefits of dry food: concentrated nutrients and a texture that cleans teeth and supports dental health. Benefits of wet food: the high moisture content can reduce the risk of urinary tract problems and help maintain a healthy weight.

Changing from one food to another should be done gradually so your cat's intestinal flora has sufficient time to adapt to a new food. Over 7 days, mix Royal Canin wet food in gradually increasing proportions into your cat's existing diet. This gradual adaptation lowers the risk of diarrhoea. Excessive food intake may also cause digestive problems.
Please note that these are guidelines only. Actual feeding amounts should be adjusted according to your cat's age, activity levels and circumstances. Monitor your cat's weight and adjust feeding amounts as required. Daily amounts should be offered spread over two portions a day. Fresh water should be provided at all times.
I ordered those to change my cat menu. Unfortunately this is not his favorite. He ate those but without any warm feelings. Also it was difficult to take the food out of the pouches. Will not order again.

Kitten's 2nd favourite
This is my kitten's 2nd favourite food. She's very fussy. I like that it's only 85 g, but it would be much better if it came in cans instead of pouches for environmental and logistic reasons. It's very hard to get all the food out of the pouches. It hurts my heart to use these environmentally unfriendly pouches.

Royal canin kitten food
I have tried a few brands of top brand kitten food but they didn't agree with my kittens tum, so we tried royal canin, my kitten loves it he purrs as he eats it and it's ok on his tum.

Good - but inconsistent
Our one and a half year old cat loves this food. She's extremely healthy and in excellent condition on it.
But every now and then, we'll get a packet, or sometimes a whole box of 12 that she just completely refuses for no apparent reason. We've no idea why, we can only assume it comes from a different factory or something? We feed her Royal Canin Fit32 dry food in the morning and a pouch of this in the evening.

The only Food my British Shorthair will eat!
I have the fussiest British SH, who is so picky about what he eats. I have tried most of the top brands on the market and the wet food he loves the most is RC wet (Hairball) in pouches. He is not a big eater so I can get 3 portions out of one pouch. The only DRY food he eats as well happens to be Royal Canin for British Shorthair - KITTEN

Cat not too happy with this food
My cat doesn’t like this one very much... eats a little and then leaves the rest and goes for the dry food. With other brands she leaves the bowl clean...

This food is unbeatable for regular feeding
My two Persian rescue cats love this food. They have been eating it as their chief food for several months and have never gotten tired of it or had any upset. I give them a dry food supplement and occasionally another type of Royal Canine, but this is their staple.

Great food.

Differences
I have 2 cats and they are both well and happy with this Royal Canin Intense Beauty food against all others tried. HOWEVER..I made a mistake and purchased a pack of 48 in JELLY instead of the GRAVY and neither really liked it, walking away from the dish having eaten very little [and found it smelt nasty if left covered in a dish between meals....wasted a lot in fact] I give the Light variety to the cat who is overweight and she likes that too.. The only wet food I ever buy now.

Excellent quality
We originally tried a different brand and because we had the Royal Canin dry food we thought we'd try our kitten on this. She loves it and prefers this to her previous food. Well worth it

Just what he needed!!
My 2 year old cat was recently diagnosed with cystitis. Having never showed symptoms before, within less than 1 week of them beginning, he was hospitalised at the vets and had to be catheterised. Within a 3 week period, he had 2 stay overs at the vets and numerous check ups. During the flare up, he was eating Royal Canin Urinary S/O to dissolve the crystals. The vets recommended he has a urinary care diet. Since he has been on this, he has had 1 flare up. I add extra water to all of his wet food

great value great for kidney compromised cats
I love this food my 17 year old cat, enjoys it its low in phosphorus, and not chicken based. Which is fantastic if u have a cat with a chicken allergy. My sweetpea has kidney issues and hyperthyroidism, she hates the kidney diets but this is by far the best stand in for managing kidney issues, and she loves it. Also the biscuits are preferred by our older male cats. The price is great for the quantities we go through

Perfect for long-hair
My rescue Persians are thriving on this food. They like it and they are much more comfortable digesting the inevitable fur.

Amazing results
My two rescue Persian cats look so much healthier and their coats so much fuller and silky with this food. They really like it.
