Royal Canin Mother & Babycat Dry Cat Food feeds your young kitten’s magnificence from the very start with the building blocks needed for healthy growth and development. Essential nutrients like DHA build a strong foundation for healthy brain development. Antioxidants and vitamins help strengthen immune support. Highly digestible proteins and prebiotics promote healthy digestion. And transitioning your newborn kitten to this dry food is simple: The unique, tiny cat kibble can be rehydrated with warm water for a softer food that eases kittens into a more “grown-up” diet.
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.

Is the texture of this hard or soft? Is it small enough to be swallowed whole by older cats with dental problems?

This kibble is hard however, it may be moistened with water if needed. It is also very small so kittens or older cats who need the extra nutrition should be able to eat it more easily.

My elderly Birman could not keep any weight on even with prescription cat food, but can tolerate and maintain some quality of life with this mother and baby cat food. She loves it and has been able to have some play time. Wonderful stuff.

Kittens LOVED it!
I fostered kittens from the Humane Society. They suggested this food and the kittens loved it! They went absolutely crazy whenever it was time to eat. Highly recommend.

Always a win
Never failed us but sadly it isn't grain free so we often have kitties get the runners from this. But it is always the go to kibble for lil ones and to transition gruelies to kibble. Moms we foster always love it too and pretty much always manage to gain back weight when we wean their kittens. Sadly super expensive so we often have to stretch it with other baby kibble.

Poor quality food with a premium price tag
Only bought due to getting a kitten who was eating this & didn't want to cause digestive issues. Love the kibble size, but that's all I like about this food. I assumed this kitten food was high quality due to price tag, but it's not. I don't think this kitten food is worth the price. It has Chicken By-Product Meal as 1st ingredient - this is over $4 a pound & that's the 1st ingredient!?! It also has carotene in it. I think Purina Kitten chow is better quality than this & has no carotene & more protein. If paying over $4 a pound for kitten food get something that's higher quality than this cuz this isn't premium food - it's just cheap food with a high price tag.

Yummy for the tummy
I am fostering a stray mama and 4 little ones. Mama was very skinny when I got her and she is now gaining weight nicely. She and the kittens love this food. Their coats are shiny and full. They didn't have any digestive problems with it. The kibble is tiny for tiny mouths.

Good for sickly elderly cats, too
The vet recommended this for my daughter's elderly cat who is loosing weight and in poor health. Really like being able to order on line and have it shipped to her house since it is difficult for her to get to the store. The cat really likes the food.

Mama and weaning babies love it!
Both the mama's and weaning babies love it! It's tiny enough and moist enough as a "dry" kibble that the babies can eat with their baby teeth. Even if their is no mama, babies will eat it, which is such a relief when raising a motherless litter. I continue to keep the babies on it until their about 12 weeks, then I move up to the larger kitten kibble.
I use it for pregnant mama's, too, as it seems very nutritious, keeps their weight up, and gives them a healthy, shiny coat - which is what is needed for healthy newborns.
I have very healthy babies when using this food.
The only drawback is that is IS very expensive, especially when feeding mama, too. Because of that, many people buy cheaper food and then end up with unhealthy mama & kittens. Please get the cost down so more people can use this great food. Thank you.
