Product description

Balanced and complete dry cat food for very fussy, food sensitive adult cats. Containing special proteins, fats and carbohydrates that your cat will love. 
Post-ingestion perception is an essential distinguishing factor in what cats choose to eat. For many cats, this feeling is the overriding factor in deciding whether they will choose to eat this food over a prolonged period of time. The more positive the feeling about the food, the more likely the cat will be to eat this food in the future.

Royal Canin Exigent 42 Protein Preference cat food provides the right balance of nutrients for demanding, choosy cats, which are particularly sensitive to the taste of proteins in their food:

 

  • Highest acceptance: The texture, the taste and the aroma of Royal Canin Exigent 42 dry cat food with Protein preference meets the demands of the fussiest cat.
  • Helps maintain ideal weight: The balanced calorific content meets the nutritional requirements of a cat of ideal weight.
  • Healthy Fur: the balanced nutrients include biotin and borage oil (rich in Omega- 6 fatty acids) to support healthy and beautiful fur.
Cat's preferences for particular types of foods varies from cat to cat. The species, breed, experiences and habits are just some of the factors affecting preferences, influence whether your cat certain foods or not. That's why some cats have changeable appetites and can sometimes be hard to please. This can sometimes lead to irregular eating, which in turn can result in digestive problems. An irregular, unbalanced diet can even produce negative effects on your cat's fur.

Royal Canin has developed the Exigent product line to meet the exclusive nutritional needs of fussy cats, which satisfy even the most demanding of cats. Based on the latest science in palatability, they respond to each cat’s individual preference.

For more than 40 years Royal Canin has been making your pet’s health the prime focus of their work leading to the product range “Health Nutrition” amongst others. Only with the knowledge of your pet’s exact nutritional requirements and with respect for the individuality of every animal can the perfect meal be developed and produced to exactly meet your pet’s needs.

Ran out faster than expected.
That's how much they love it. All of ours gobble this stuff down and make demands for the bowl to be refilled. The fussiest one refuses to eat anything else now.It's a good job this comes in large packs.

My cats favourite!
I try to vary my 2 cats diet by giving them different textures, shapes, taste, brands... But find that I always return to this as it is simply their favourite! Other dry food may interest them for a little while but they soon lose interest and not bother to eat it anymore. They never fail to finish this!

Happy Cat and Hedgehogs
Rile loves Royal Canin Outdoor. He adopted us four years ago. This food is perfect for him, he has a lovely coat and has an ideal weight of 4kg. He also has 1 pouch of Royal Canin Instinctive daily. He prefers kibbles to pouches, but eats all of his pouch. The hedgehogs which visited my garden last year loved Royal Canin. This was recommended by the Hedgehog Preservation Trust. There were four babies born in my garage. Two have started visiting this year. They do enjoy Royal Canin!! Excellent value, quick delivery, I am very pleased with Zooplus.

Fussy Cats love this
I have two fussy cats who for no reason will just decide not to eat the food I have bought, however since changing to Royal Canin Sterilised they have loved it and no problems. Great to buy food now in 10Kg bags, easy and convenient.

Great. Lives up to its promises.
My 3 cats love this food and the best thing about it is that they have never thrown it up, which was quite a problem with other brands. Highly recommend it for sensitive cats or for households with lots of cats. This is the first dry food that all my cats have ever really liked.

The very best!
Four indoor cats and this food keeps them fit and healthy, with gleaming coats and bounds of energy. I have tried other brands, but I always go back to Royal Canin. Fabulous quality food.

3 VERY happy cats!!
My 3 cats absolutely ADORE this food and simply will not touch anything else! All three of the Exigent range are just as good as each other and my boys will gobble it up with no problem at all. Anything else just gets left!! I now purchase the huge 10kg bags as I know this is a winner every time.

Cats Diet Sorted.
We have 3 cats and no matter which style or type of food we used one of them always seemed to get the runs. Giving different food to each cat was near impossible, We were advised to try the Royal canin Sensible which did the trick and suited all cats and they all like it. though initially expensive from local pet stores the Zooplus price was much less, delivered quick and hassle free, Regular free gifts sent with it too which is a bonus.

My Devon Rexes Love This!
I purchased RC Babycat for my first litter. The kibble is tiny, just the right size for kittens little mouths when weaning. Excellent quality and value.

Just the best
We have a wonderful Selkirk Rex longhair and we mean longhair,Lottie is three years old and through her formative years we and Lottie did have coat and hairball issue,s, until we discovered Royal Canine 27 and all of our and Lottie,s problems just vanished. Her coat is now super fine and we get a ball once in a blue moon, thank you Royal Canine and of course Zooplus who we love to buy from. Richard and Janet and of course Lottie.

Royal Canin Sensible 33
This is an excellent dry food for those cats that have a very sensitive tummy. My cat Amber whom i got from a reputable rescue home had diahorrea from day 1. After trying several different types of food, wet, dry, fish & Rice, i discovered Royal Canin Sensible 33. To me and our Amber this is the best thing since sliced bread was invented. Her diet has improved her temperment, her coat is shiny and glossy, her weight is now stable and most of all she no longer has diahorrea. A must for all with sensitive tummy's. It may seem more expensive at first but it actually works out slightly cheaper than meat & biscuits. Well done Royal Canin

All my cats love this
I have 8 cats, 2 Birmans and 6 moggies who were taken in as strays. It is very difficult to get a food that they all like and can tolerate. I have tried varies dried foods and some make two of my cats sick and others make the others sick. The Royal Canin Sensible is liked by them all and no upset tummies.
