Royal Canin Aging Spayed/Neutered 12+ Dry Cat Food, 7-lb bag
Spaying or neutering changes a cat's life, and fortunately, so does Royal Canin Spayed/Neutered 12+ Dry Cat Food. Spaying and neutering is a simple operation that has a big effect on hormone levels in cats. And while these changes have many positive outcomes, like a friendlier demeanor and longer life expectancy, there is one challenge. As soon as 48 hours after surgery, changing hormones can cause a cat’s energy needs to decrease by 30% while also causing a 20% rise in appetite. This can lead to significant weight gain. As experts in health nutrition, Royal Canin designed Spayed/Neutered 12+, a specific formula that supplies a range of nutrients to promote healthy aging.
Key Benefits- Precisely formulated for spayed or neutered senior cats over the age of 12 years with easy-to-chew kibble.
- An exclusive complex of antioxidants, including lycopene and omega-3 fatty acids support body systems through the aging process.
- A moderate level of fat content helps your loved one maintain an ideal body weight.
- Enriched with L-carnitine plus L.I.P. digestive science innovation that uses protein selected for its high digestibility.
- Adapted phosphorous levels help to support renal function, as kidney decline is common in senior cats.

We recommend at least a 7-day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.

Where’s the healthy protein
By stevem on Feb 2, 2020
The ingredient list is pure garbage. Corn, Corn Gluten Meal, Brewers Rice, Wheat Gluten, Wheat, Chicken Meal, Chicken Fat, Powdered Cellulose, Natural Flavors, Soy Protein Isolate Where is the healthy protein? It’s all grains and fillers.

my Daisy loved it
By Kristy on Jan 3, 2020
My poor Senior cat was always fussy her whole life. At the end, this seemed to be easiest for her to eat. Along with that, it was the the food she kept down the best. It was also something she really seemed to enjoy. Thank goodness for this, best senior cat food out there!

Finicky 11 year old Loves!
By pearlgirl on Jan 8, 2020
My 11 year old was on a diet for 2 years and then ended up with hyperthyroidism. We took off the diet and it takes months & months to find food he will eat. He loves this plain and mixed with his wet food.

Cats love it!

works for my cat.
By Rose on Dec 4, 2019
Although my cat is only 7 she can't eat several foods.. She vomits with any kind of fish food. Foods for sensitive stomachs didn't works. She likes this food and most important, keeps it down.

Amazing results for my Senior cat!
By Daisy on Sep 5, 2019
I have a 13 year old Russian Blue that had really begun to lose weight and become less active on a grain free diet. I read other customer reviews about this Senior formula and how it had helped their cats. I have to say, within a month of starting this food, my boy is getting back to being him old self again. His appetite is improved, he is gaining weight and back to playing like a kitten again. Absolutely love the transformation! I fed him Royal Canin when he was younger - never should have left this brand following the grain free fad.

Picky aging cat loves this
By Love on Jul 25, 2019
Our aging cat stopped eating his kibble so we decided to upgrade to royal canin and we're glad to see how good their aging cat formula looked for his needs. Was hoping he would love it because the smallest bag available for him to try at the time was 7 lbs, the smaller size was sold out. Well, I can see why! He loves this stuff and it seems easier for him to eat, too. He has more energy, looks forward to meal times, he's a kitten again in a lot of ways and we are super grateful.

For my older cats
By GreatDanemom on Aug 7, 2019
I originally got this for my older cats (15 and 14 years old). The pieces were smaller so I thought it would be easier for them to eat. My 2 year old seems to have trouble with this food. He vomits often. I buy only Royal Canin because they (6 cats) seem to have little to no trouble with this food. Until I added this one.

Older cats love the food!
By Carole on Aug 26, 2019
Our older cats love this food! We had problems finding a new food to transition them to. This one 100% meets their needs.

Don't buy.
By Mcguffin on Jul 12, 2019
Main ingredient is corn. Not enough protein, just fillers. Though my cats love it and I have been feeding for years, am switching to a meat based limited ingredient diet. Much better for them.
