Composition of Royal Canin products for cats

All Royal Canin cat food can be roughly divided into several categories. The first group is the usual diet for adult cats and cats over 1 year old, and older animals are also fed with it. There are breed distributions here. The second category is food for kittens under one year old, and the last group is specialized medicinal products.

The composition largely depends on the needs of the animal based on its age, health, physical condition and breed:

1. The Royal Canin food for kittens under 1 year old contains dehydrated poultry meat as the main source of protein. Also added here are corn starch (carbohydrates), animal fats, vitamins and minerals in large quantities.
2. For adult cats, the composition is slightly different. Here, in addition to the already familiar ingredients, rice, hydrolysates from animal cartilage and crustacean shells are added. The composition will differ depending on the type of feed and the individual needs of the animal.
3. The veterinary line is a special food that is not suitable for a healthy cat. They can only be prescribed by a veterinarian based on the examination of the animal and the results of laboratory tests. These feeds are considered to be of high quality and help with kidney failure, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, tartar, food allergies and other pathologies.

Royal Canin dry food for cats is a complete diet that cannot be supplemented with natural food. When switching to dry granules, the body produces more gastric juice and bile, which may be unsafe when eating natural foods.
