It is recommended that your cat be fed 2 - 4 equal portions of the diet per day.
Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Calm does not cover aggression
By Sandy on Apr 14, 2021
It was intimated to me that CALM cat food might calm the aggression that I experience in my cat. This was stated to me by a Vet tech in my Veterinary office. When I received the bag of food, I read the description of what CALM COVERS. It calms a tendency to mark with urine, or calm a cat in a strange situation. My cat gets very aggressive with me, biting and scratching. This food had no effect on my cat

Worth the pricetag
By chico on Apr 7, 2021
While this food is a little pricier than normal food, it makes such a HUGE difference for my kitten. She is very high energy and high anxiety, to the point where I had put her on a time out for 5 minutes (for jumping on the counter) and in those 5 minutes she had managed to work herself up so much to the point of vomiting. Almost immediately after starting this food I noticed a difference and noticed my kitten was much happier.

I'm so sorry!
By Anna on Jan 17, 2021
First off I'm sorry I left Chewy to purchase the Royal Canin at one of our local stores. I thought the hassle of uploading my Vet. information would take too long. So I drove to a store that you can also purchase online. After 2 months the 2 local stores that carry Royal Canin were out of stock and online too. So thankfully I jumped on my auto-shipment of kitty litter and placed and order with Chewy! Even having to wait extra days to verify the prescription it only too 3 days to deliver! As always thank you for having products in stock and such quick delivery even during this trying time of Covid! This food has also helped my kitty so much too!

First Time Customer
By Princessmom on Mar 5, 2021
We are having a difficult time finding this food right now in my area. I was so excited to be able to purchase at Chewy. I really didn’t want to change her food. Shipping was quick and the pricing is lower!

It works wonders
By Logan on Jan 31, 2021
This actually works on my cat. He went from horrible to tolerable. His frantic behavior calmed down. He no longer has the zoomies daily. He doesn’t demand playtime 24/7. He doesn’t nip at me when he doesn’t get what he wants. Finally, he sleeps during the night whereas before this food he slept just about 4-6 hours daily. The food is palatable. He likes it. I’m pleased.

Too soon to tell
By Dragonfly on Jan 29, 2021
My cat has only been eating the Calm food for a little over a week, (and I've had to mix it with the food she's used to eating, in order to get her to eat it..she's extremely finicky), so, I have not yet seen any noticeable difference in her behaviors...yet. Was recommended by my vet, so I'm hopeful about results.

Calm works wonders!
By Sweetbeest on Jan 14, 2021
We have a singleton cat that came to us as a kitten. He bit, hissed, growled & startled easily as he was abandoned by his Mom & didn’t have the influence of siblings. We have won him over with positive reinforcement, love & patience & affection. Royal Canin Calm has helped tremendously. Give it 2-3 months as daily kibble. There was never an issue about our kitty loving the food either.

Calm cat food
By Cath on Mar 28, 2021
This food works great ! Calms my anxious cat perfectly. It's out of stock and so my cat is suffering again. Hope we can get it soon !

This food is like a miracle...
By Benjo on Dec 14, 2020
i can't believe the immediate difference in my cat. This has literally saved her life. She was in a constant state of panic over her own reflection and shadow and she wouldn't stop attacking it. We had her on around the clock medication for months and she was have neurological effects from it. We detoxed her off the meds and switched to this food, and within 24 hours she is back to my normal, happy, relaxed kitty. I am so thrilled with this simple solution. She also really likes the food, and she is soooo picky!

Terrible Asthma & Skiddish Cat Relief Finally!!
By MoMo on Nov 11, 2020
Out of nowhere my poor furbaby started this awful AWFUL "coughing". At first we thought it was just a hairball, no biggie, but it got to the point where Mo was having these "fits" 10+ times a day. It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch... We immediately took him to the vet and found out he has horrible asthma (he is only 5!!), and is also very nervous/skiddish, so when he starts having these attacks, he panics, thus making it 1000 times worse. She suggested this food, and although it costs a lot, he only eats chicken flavor food ANYHOW and we only have one kitty, so we bought it. He is also on meds, but this food has made a MAJOR change in my little baby! He is gaining weight again, he's actually Out of nowhere my poor furbaby started this awful AWFUL "coughing".

He is gaining weight again, he's actually greeting strangers and rubbing on their legs (which was unheard of !), and he is having way way less attacks (fingers crossed!!) I would highly recommend this food for panicky cats, or cats with asthma, because it is so awful to watch, especially bc our cat is terrified of his inhaler and won't let us help him!! What's $30 when you can have your kitty/kitties back? … more
