Support Your Cat's Healthy Weight

Does your cat tend to gain weight? Maintaining an ideal body condition and muscle mass is a crucial aspect of a cat’s overall health.

Weight Care

Over 90% of slightly overweight cats fed Royal Canin Weight Care lost weight within two months.

Wet & Dry Options

Try a mixed dry and wet feeding routine. The mechanical tooth-brushing action of crunchy kibble helps reduce tartar formation, while moist wet food supports healthy hydration. Follow feeding guidelines to determine how much to feed your pet.

Questions & Answers

20 Customer Questions

What's the biggest difference between this formula and the spayed/neutered formula? Is this primarily marketed for non-spayed cats?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 10, 2018
The Royal Canin Weight Care Dry Cat Food has less fat per portion and a high ratio of proteins which supports lean muscle mass. While the Royal Canin Appetite Control Spayed/Neutered Dry Cat Food has high fiber sourced at levels that help maintain healthy appetite patterns and discourage overeating.

I just received a bag of Royal Canin Weight Care Dry Cat Food. The shape of the kibble is not star-shaped but donut-shaped. Has the product changed or does this bag contain the wrong product?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 30, 2020
Royal Canin has changed the shape of this kibble from star-shaped to donut-shaped.

What food should be next once our indoor kitty is at ideal weight on Weight Care?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 21, 2018
Once your cat has gotten to their ideal weight using this food, they may return to another food that they enjoy, making sure to adjust their feeding amounts to their ideal weight at this time.

Is this cat food niblets or full size?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 03, 2021
The Weight Care kibble is compared to the size of an M&M.

My cat was gaining weight on Prescription diet food so we tried this. I wish I had read the bad reviews first. She was 32 pounds and quickly dropped to 21 in several months. Her poop was larger and extra smelly and then she started getting diarrhea. We took her to the vet. She got an antibiotic and seemed a little better but started gaining weight gain on the previous food. We weren't sure it was the food so started this food again for about a week and she's back at the vet. Now, she has diabetes! She surprisingly didn't have it before but it seems this food made it happen.

My cat loves this food!

I was really worried when we transitioned our 16lbs male tabby over to diet food that he wouldn’t want to eat it because it didn’t taste good. He loves it! We mixed the Royal Canin dry food as recommended 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 into his old Blue Buffalo dry food over a week. He kept finding the Royal Canin pieces and eating them first. He also really likes the Royal Canin Weight Care wet food. We did a taste test with one can of each of the top recommended wet can foods and he chose Royal Canin.

Food, for cats!

I've been feeding this to my cats for a very long time and they just keep eating it. I mix it 50/50 with some Royal Canin canned food. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but they've always been healthy and have never complained. Not once! During the pandemic, it was hard to get and I had to try them on other foods, which they hated. They looked at me like I was trying to poison them, their sad little eyes seeming to ask "why? we thought you loved us and now you want us to die." But the food finally came back and, after years of therapy, they finally learned to trust again. Only one of my cats is fat but they both like this food just fine, even better than the canned stuff. My vet says they go for the carbs. Who can blame them? Anyway, like I said, I buy this cat food and they eat it. No problems.

My baby boy goes crazy for this food!! It’s a bit on the pricey side but after using this and switching to Purina, we switched back to this because we noticed a huge difference in his temperament and coat. He’s lost 3 pounds over the year with this. We still have about 4 pounds to go (he’s currently 19 pounds) but he’s doing great on it. He also has great BMs and they’re not very smelly like when he was on other foods.

So far, cats do approve the taste and texture of this. Can't say if it's helping with the weight loss journey as of right now, but at least they enjoy the taste. I tried another brand of dry food, didn't help with my one cat lose any weight, so hopefully better luck with this one! It does appear to have far less calories compared to other dry food options out there.

Effective weight management

I have 2 cats that have been eating this for several years. They are picky and they like it. It was difficult finding a weight control food, that they do not throw up after eating. It slows down their eating, and they haven’t had any digestive problems. It’s much more expensive than regular cat food but I feel I am paying for a higher quality and it at least controls their weight. My cats have not experienced significant weight loss, but nor have they gained.

I like the Royal Canin cat food but I wasn't happy to see red tape on the bottom of the bag covering a hole in the bag. I have no idea if all of the food was in the bag. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star review.

Quite firm

We made a test with zero meds, just to encourage him! Noah wouldn’t take a small bit, even without meds. Sorry, we gave it to another cat!

Nice shape

I mix this with other dry food and the cats seem to like these round O’s better than the other shapes of kibble pieces.

Buster liked the food but he gained more weight on it despite me keeping him at the recommended dose. So had to switch. Am having a hard time with continuing to pay the extraordinarly high prices Royal Canine is charging for dog and cat food now.
