This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your pet'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.

Great for Cats That Need to Gain
By Mimi on Jan 25, 2019
I have 3 cats that are under treatment for a variety of illnesses and as a result of being sick, they have lost substantial weight. Years ago a Veterinarian suggested I feed an older ill cat, R.C.'s Mother & BabyCat food to help my older cat recover weight she lost from illness and surgery. It worked like a charm! I am using the same food, both dry and wet, now for my 3 elderly & sick cats. It is working again and they are beginning to gain their weight back. The down side of feeding your cats this is that it is really hard to wean them off this super great food!!!! They love it and do not appreciate being put back on adult food, no matter how good the brand!!! LOL!

Even the pickiest cats will eat this food!!!!
By Dee61 on Jan 25, 2019
I recently rescued and abandoned 10 month old cat from outside. She would eat anything until she got sick and wouldn't eat. After a visit to the vet, she had health issues and was given medication. Yesterday I opened a can of this food, put it in her bowl and she gobbled it up! Even my 15 year old cat wanted some (she is very fussy with food). She loved it too! It's a bit pricey but it is worth it!

Definitely a must have for rescue kittens
By Deborah on Dec 7, 2018
We rescued a 6-7 week old kitten that was abandoned and in very bad shape. He had scabies, ringworm and was undernourished. He weighed less than 1 pound on his very first visit to the vet. We started feeding Little Man this on day two of his rescue and in 3 weeks he weighed almost 2 pounds. This helped him immune system tremendously not to mention help his fur grow back after he lost it all thanks to his health issues. We named him Karma and he’s doing very well! He will soon meet the rest of the fur family as soon as he has the all clear from our Vet. Thanks Chewy for carrying this, the savings alone from auto- ship definitely helped ... Chewy is purrfect

Helping Kittens Grow Big & Strong
By FurFriendz on Nov 13, 2018 Top 500 Contributor
The shelter called and asked me to take in 3 nine week old feral kittens. They are crazy cute but need some TLC. I am feeding Royal Canin Mother & Babycat Ultra-Soft Mousse Canned Food for New Kittens, Nursing & Pregnant Mother Cats along with free fed dry kitten food. This food is a hit. All of my other cats beg for it when I open a can for the kittens. Using this food to help these kittens catch up and become plump and sleek. Pictures are of kittens chowing down. Little tortie is named Worry as befits her expression. Tabby is Poof.

Kittens go crazy over it
By CatMom202 on Dec 4, 2018
Wish it wasn’t so expensive. Started weaning kittens on this as it was highly recommended, and it was a hit from day one. The mousse texture is perfect for weaning the little ones. It smells pretty decent for a cat food! I am transitioning to less expensive (yet still good nutritionally) wet food now that they are older, but they still prefer this one. Wish me luck.

Formula change
By Tamil on Nov 7, 2018
Don’t know what is different with the new formulation change but the last case I got the kittens and momma don’t really eat it anymore. They used to gobble it up... I will try the kitten formula from the local store before I order a case. Hopefully they will enjoy that formulation....So disappointed with Royal Canin. Leave well enough alone! The kittens are now 10 weeks and I have to change foods to find something they will eat again..

Litter of 3 Love it!
By Shawna on Nov 2, 2018
We were blessed with a litter of kittens in our back yard from a feral mom. We brought them in as one was injured pretty badly. The vet recommended this food to supplement them as they were so young and under weight (4 weeks and not even a pound yet). The go nuts at feeding time!! I give them this twice a day as well as the dry version of this left out all day. They love both and are gaining weight fantastically!

Kitten is doing great
By Ironton38 on Feb 18, 2019
First time I tried this. She seems to love it. It's easy for her to eat and she devours the can.

Another favorite
By Arlty on Jan 28, 2019
Our elderly cat has had difficulty eating some of her previous cat foods. So, we decided to try this one. She loves it!
