Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Calm Formula Dry Cat Food

We took in a Siamese cat when he was 4 weeks and abandoned. We already had 2 other cats. He is pretty temperamental and also constantly challenging the 5 yr old female for top cat of the house so there has been a lot of growling, hissing, tumbling, stalking etc. He has also been known to scratch and bite (people and animals) randomly. After talking to my vet our options were dwindling and she suggested trying this food. Well I will say it does seemed to have helped some,in no way do I mean it completely solved the whole problem as we still have incidents a couple times a week. This is an improvement over the daily fussing and stalking with the other cat, but it seems to have taken the edge off We took in a Siamese cat when he was 4 weeks and abandoned.

I wasn't so sure it would do anything as we have used the same food--dog formula--on our dog for anxiety and I saw no change.It may be something that works differently on each individual animal or maybe the dogs anxiety was to intense for this solution, I don't know. It might be worth a try though. … more

I recently added 3 homeless kitties to my 3 kitties. All but one of the newbies adjusted well. Hubba was having a very difficult time accepting her new surroundings and siblings. I tried catnip and calming chews. She shrank away from the catnip and wouldn't touch any treats. My Vet recommended Royal Canin Calm Formula. After 3 weeks on this food Hubba is finally able to control her anxiety enough that she can stay in the same room with the other kitties. She doesn't startle or growl or lash out like she had been doing. She's still not particularly social but that's fine.

My cat gets frequent stress related UTIs which is upsetting for a variety of reasons. This is the only food that has actually worked to stop them for longer than a few months. She is also sleeping through the night with me (or if she is up she isn't singing me the song of her people anymore). It's a little pricey, but it's definitely less expensive on this site and waaaay less expensive than a vet visit!

My little female Ivy was distraught after the death of her older buddy Bougie. She walked over the places where he used to be, all day long, back and forth, through the whole house and then back again, and all the time meowing, incessantly, to the point where it was not just annoying but I was really worried about her. I took her to her vet to make sure she was ok, and when my vet prescribed this, I think both of us were hesitant, even skeptical. But I’m here to tell you that this stuff works! It did exactly what it promised. It calmed Ivy down after the first meal. The constant crying became weaker and more sporadic. She actually stopped the pacing and was able to nap and sleep soundly My little female Ivy was distraught after the death of her older buddy Bougie.

I gradually decreased the amount I gave her to her, and discovered that the food had been enough to break the cycle. She still misses Bougie but is not neurotic about her grieving. And I can relax again too. I heartily recommend this formula of Royal Canin. In our circumstances, it was a miracle. … more

after 7 weeks on this diet, the cat remains as neurotic as ever...darting, flinching, barbering, meowing. (she was rescued as a very young kitten and has never been maltreated. she's been to the vet a few times re: her anxiety w/o findings. her behavior...always on alert and stressing...is inexplicable.) pharmaceuticals are next on the list.

My cat, Bizzy, absolutely loves this food. I’m not sure he is much calmer. He is not quite 3 and is one of those crazy boys. Since I have not had a male cat before, I’m also not sure his craziness is just being not quite 3.

I began using this formula for my temperamental calico last year and it has been amazing. Even my vet has noticed a difference. She plays more and is so much more loving (without biting) and even shows herself when visitors come over.

My cats were fighting a lot and since I started feeding, I feed several varieties a day but always include this too, the fighting has decreased dramatically. I prefer the foods with less carbs, but I was desperate. My female cat is territorial and my male cat likes to encroach on her territory so before using this food almost nightly they were fighting. Now not so much. Also my female, I will call her pigpen because she deserves it, likes to mark territory by pooping, which is disgusting. I have scat mats on all furniture but by the front door she started pooping, and I think it’s either because there is an outdoor cat that comes by the house to antagonize my menagerie or that my dog likes to My cats were fighting a lot and since I started feeding, I feed several varieties a day but always include this too, the fighting has decreased dramatically.

This calming formula dry food is a breakthrough for our “wild purr-ing feline” It must taste good as he ate it out of the bag before I could get it into his dish. Will be ordering more. Thank you!

I always buy to my cats Royal Canin food,they love it. This product was created to calm down cats,but it doesn't work like a company promises. But anyway kitties enjoy it.
