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.
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?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.

Surprise! Six kittens!
By Ebony3cats on Jun 10, 2019
We trap, neuter/spay, and release some cats in an area. Had trapped two 8 month old kittens and scheduled they to be spayed. They were really wild and would hide when I would enter their holding room. One day I noticed their toys were all piled in the corner. When checking further, I found that it wasn’t toys, but that one of the young ones had had six kittens. The vet recommended the Royal Canin Mother and Baby cat food to get them all good nourishment and get started on the right foot. Momma loves it and all the kittens are developing nicely. Chewy’s quick delivery was greatly appreciated.

Not for my kitties
By Judie on Jul 3, 2019
I rescued a young mother cat and her tiny kitten. I was excited that this food is geared toward nursing mothers and kittens. The kitten is now 6 weeks old and although he eats kitten kibble, neither he nor his mother will eat this. I do have plenty of other young strays who love it, but I was hoping to nourish this particular kitten and mom

I'm so happy with this Royal Canin Mother & Babycat food
By Eliana on May 9, 2019
I'm currently fostering a mama cat and her three kittens. Although the kittens have not started eating solids yet, the mom has been on this Royal Canin Mother & Babycat wet food since 2-3 days after giving birth. The kittens are as healthy as healthy can be, gaining weight and growing steadily. The mama cat is also looking so much better already. Despite the fact that she was underweight and is nursing, in only 2 weeks you can see that's she's gained a little meat and fat on her little body and is looking healthier. (Note: She also has access to the dry version of this formula in case she's hungry between wet food feedings.)

WONDERFUL FOOD
By BOOO on Jun 25, 2019
I ADOPTED A 5 WEEK OLD KITTEN FROM THE LOCAL SHELTER. HE WAS UNDERWEIGHT AND WEAK FROM HAVING AN INFECTION IN HIS BELLY. I STARTED FEEDING HIM THE KITTEN FOOD AFTER A TRIP TO THE VET . HE HAS GAINED A HALF A POUND AND IS DOING VERY WELL. THIS IS A GREAT FOOD

Picky cats like this
By Zoumom on Jul 15, 2019
I’m tired of wet food where the kitties lick the gravy & walk away. They need wet food due to chronic UTI troubles. This is a success! My cat wants it before I even get the top off & eats it all.

My go-to when fostering young kittens
By Jiyoung on Jun 12, 2019 Top 1000 Contributor
I have used this food several times now both for nursing mothers and their kittens and orphan kittens. It is a great transition from milk to solids as it is extremely soft. My kittens have all thrived when weaned with this food. There is no other formula out there that is as soft textured as this.

Kittens loved it
By Chels on Jun 28, 2019
I got this for some young foster kittens and they liked it. The ingredients are really good. I love Royal Canin and would love to support them regularly but the price for fosters is a little much to buy this routinely for me.

Very helhelpful
By Tara on Jul 14, 2019
Bought this food for a 2 month old rescue that was dumped at my door. Cat was under weight and sick. This food helps to get cat all required nutrition needed, so not under weight anymore.

Great Starter Food
By Cristi on Jul 15, 2019
This food has been an integral part of saving the lives of three motherless kittens I found at just three weeks of age. They were malnourished and desperate. Now they are thriving!
