This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your cat's temperament, activity level and environment. If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
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.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?

Tailor-Made Nutrition
Designed for the Specific Needs of the Maine CoonWhy Pure Breed Cats Need Tailored Nutrition
Even though pedigree cats are usually kept indoors, they may have breed-specific needs that go beyond the needs of other indoor cats. It's important to address those needs with specialized nutrition. When choosing a formula, keep in mind the unique characteristics of your breed, including:
Face and Jaw: Pure breed cats come in many different jaw shapes and sizes. Some breeds have broad jaws (like Ragdolls) while others have large, square-shaped jaws (like Maine Coons) or flat, short jaws (like Persians). The jaw type and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble.
Skin Types: Not all cat breeds have the same body type. Some have long and muscular physiques while others have imposing statures that can put strain on joints. Precise levels of key nutrients help support a breed's unique needs for their body type.
Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From different hair lengths to undercoats, each pure breed cat has a unique coat with unique needs.
Breed Specific Formulas
Every cat is unique - especially pure breed cats. After years of research and partnering with a network of veterinarians and breeders, Royal Canin has developed a line of tailor-made formulas to suit the needs of pure breed cats perfectly.
Formulated for Maine Coons
Royal Canin's Maine Coon Dry Cat Food is designed for Maine Coon cats over 15 months old.
Healthy heart: Maine Coon Dry Cat Food contains nutrients such as taurine, EPA and DHA, which may contribute to cardiac health.
Bone & joint health: Maine Coons are the tallest and heaviest of pure breed cats. Their imposing stature can put a strain on joints. This formula is enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) to help maintain healthy bones and joints.
Healthy skin & coat: Maine Coons have a dense coat with a fine undercoat. This formula includes a combination of amino acids, vitamins and fatty acids (Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids) to help maintain skin and coat health.
Exclusive Kibble
Maine Coon Dry Cat Food features a king-size tailor-made kibble that's adapted to Maine Coons' unique, large squared-shaped jaw, encouraging them to chew.
Why Royal Canin?
Over time, Royal Canin has accumulated vast knowledge about cats and dogs that only extensive research, scientific study and tireless talks with pet professionals, veterinarians and owners can provide. That knowledge led them to develop precise nutrition for cats and dogs. Each Royal Canin formula is tailored to pets' size, age, lifestyle and breed and contains more than 50 perfectly balanced nutrients for the most effective diet possible.
Their focus on science puts pets at the heart of the formulation process, choosing only ingredients that optimize the food's nutritional content. Royal Canin also continues to invest heavily in new technology to ensure their quality and food safety systems remain state-of-the-art, so pets can continue to benefit from the latest in food health and nutrition.

Wish the ingredients were better!
By MaineCoonFan on Jul 6, 2020
We have had 4 MC cats over the years. We still have a 17 yr old and a 3 yr old. from the same breeder. The Breeder recommended this food with brochures and sample packs but I have felt he was being comped for it. We only feed wet food now but when was previously usung some dry this was the only one they would take time to chew not just swallow. We have no more vomiting issues now with wet only. The older cat eats Weruva Cats in the Kitchen cans and the younger eats Ziwi Peak Cans and occasionally some dried Ziwi Peak mixed in. His can fav is Mackeral and Lamp. Pricey but best ingrediants save on his vet biils in the long term.

Perfect for My Pig of a Cat!
By Sidhe on Jul 2, 2020
My (possibly part Maine Coon) cat Beaker is a huge pig - he swallows all of his kibble whole, and is a well known “scarf and barfer”. On the advice of my vet, I started looking for larger cat kibble, and we eventually landed on this one. Beaker is forced to chew with this size kibble, and it’s definitely reduced the amount of barf around our house. He also seems to genuinely like it, and he never leaves any in his bowl to go to waste. While he might not be a Maine Coon (though he has many of the physical and behavioral characteristics), the vet also said that it wouldn’t harm him to eat this “specially formulated” food; in fact, she thinks that the size of the kibble is specially formulated My (possibly part Maine Coon) cat Beaker is a huge pig - he swallows all of his kibble whole, and is a well known “scarf and barfer”.

Tear in bag
By Allergy on Jun 29, 2020
Items I ordered arrived fast! Thank you for that. Delivery person set the box on the outer edge of my porch so box was soaked when I found it, close to the house as MOST deliveries are placed would have kept it dry under the overhang, that is not your fault. When I opened the box there was dry food rolling around loosely, appears the boxes of food pierced the Maine Coon food bag allowing food to escape the bag :-(. Maybe in the future bags should be shipped separate from boxes unless it had the tear in it when it was placed in the box. Not sure if the food is contaminated. Sadness.

It’s like a treat!

My Maine Coon loves it - but so do my other kitties! We will definitely keep this on the menu!

Less kitty pukes, YAY!!!
By Thor on Jun 15, 2020
Our two kitties sure seem happier on this food than the GI food they were on. The larger size makes them have to chew the food instead of just swallowing it whole. We’re pleased with this new food!

My tortie American Maine Coon LOVES her new royal canin!
By Constance on Mar 4, 2020
My "Cali" really LOVES her new dry food for Maine Coons!!! She's been having a very fast-paced growth spurt since she became 2 yrs old, and I became concerned for her nutrition intake and did some research online about her breed's nutritional needs for her growth! She's the first Maine Coon I've ever owned. She's very much loving this food and the larger size pieces!!

Royal Canin Maine Coon
By vivimill on Mar 29, 2020
I have a cat that is part Maine Coon and is very large and I have a small Abyssinian cat. Both of these cats pick this food out of the mixed kibble that I give them. When there is none of it left in the bowl and only the other they meow and draw my attention to the bowl!

Not healthy ingredients
By Luvs2eat43 on Feb 28, 2020
I was disappointed to read that Corn & Wheat. Also, they have peas. Wheat and Peas causes Lectins. Too much lectins in their diet can do more harm then good. Why are these needed to bind the food. Can this company come up with a better alternative. My Maine Coon will not be eating this any longer unless they change their ingredients.

LARGE KIBBLE FOR A LARGE CAT
By CAPTDAVE on Dec 24, 2019
The Royal Canin Maine Coon Cat Dry Cat Food was recommended by the breeder of our last two Maine Coon Cats and we are glad that we took her suggestion. The high quality food is a big hit with our cat. The large size of the individual chunks is easily handled by our large cat. In fact we toss individual pieces across the room and she attacks them as if they were a special "treat". This food is actually economical as there is little or no waste. Our Maine Coon Cats have thrived on this high quality product.
