Feeding guides are general recommendations only. The amount of food required by your cat may vary above or below that listed in this feeding guide. In consultation with your veterinarian it is recommended that you weigh your cat 4 - 6 weeks after starting a new diet in order to adjust food intake to maintain or achieve an optimal body weight and body condition score. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding guidelines for your cat. This diet is formulated to be complete and balanced. It is unnecessary to feed leftover foods, kitchen scraps or additional supplements. It is recommended that your cat be fed 2 - 4 equal portions of the diet per day. Ensure fresh drinking water is available at all times. Store this product in a cool, dry place.
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.

It's a little too soon to tell if my cat's diabetes is getting better but, he's not drinking as much water and he's also gaining a little weight. So that's a good thing. Also he and the other cat loves the taste. I'm out already!

Royal Canin's Glycobalance is perfect for my diabetic cat. This food followed with his daily insulin regimin has greatly improved his health and has gotten him back to his old self. And, as a plus, my other cats love the taste of it too.

Gizmo loves this food!!! He usually is a slow eater and takes forever to get his insulin shot directly after eating. Since being on this food he eats within 5 minutes and gets his insulin shot.

We have used this diabetic cat food for about a year when our tabby was diagnosed, we have him glyco balanced now, this food is part of that success.

My diabetic cat loves this product, as do my other cats who eat it if they can get to it, which I discourage since it is pricey like most prescription diets. I will certainly reorder it when the time comes. Chewy took care of the prescription part, all I had to do was give them my vet's name, etc. Great service!

My cats love this food. It only requires a small amount of food. Very high protein. Ordered for diabetic cat, vet said it wouldn’t hurt our other cat, so both are eating it and the non diabetic cat is actually doing better on it than on her previous food.

Great food for your diabetic cat and it’s safe for your other kitty’s who are not diabetic should they eat it.

My cats seem to do better with this food in regards to not throwing up as often or hardly at all. I wish it came in bigger bags than just 4.4 pounds.

My cat was diagnosed with early diabetes. We were told to feed him this food. I was a little concerned because he can be picky but he loves this! He loves the wet and he loves the dry. He was actually able to go into remission and only needs to eat the food and not use insulin
