Royal Canin Weight Care Dry Cat Food

Amazing! Finally found a low calorie, small sized (donut shaped with a hole in the middle) highly palatable kibble that all 4 of my babies LOVE!! They’re all on low calorie diets. I’ve tried sooooo many dry kibbles. They are picky. Even my sweet old senior gal with only two bottom teeth loves it; she can swallow it down because of the easy size and shape. It’s expensive, but we all know that our babies are worth it. They are also attracted to the smell of it which is very slightly fishy but not overpowering. Their poops are normal. (They each also get a small can of Pro Plan Savor). It’s nice to have finally found a dry kibble!!

I have a 7-year-old Maine Coon named Gypsy. She's a real sweetheart. I also have two female Manx cats with a very high metabolism who couldn't gain weight even if I feed them eight times a day. (No exaggeration). Unfortunately, the term, "copy cat" is finally the truth. Gypsy wanted to be fed just like her fellow kitty companions. So over time, Gypsy gained two pounds that she didn't need to gain. I called and spoke to a rep at Chewy who recommended Royal Canin Weight Care Dry Cat Food. I was told to slowly transition Gypsy over to the new cat food over a period of one week by gradually adding the new "Weight Care" food with the old "Dry Ball" formula. The transition was MUCH easier than I expected I have a 7-year-old Maine Coon named Gypsy. She's a real sweetheart.

I'll keep an eye on her to see if her belly fat starts to shrink. I am very optimistic that it will. Thank you Chewy - great service as always! … more

We have a 10-year old Siberian cat who is nearing 18lbs but should be more around 16 lbs at a healthy weight. He has always been on dry food and is, like many cats, ultra-finicky about his food and will go on crabby tirades if we try to change it up and put him on a "diet." Even when we found a "weight control" food he liked, he would still drive us crazy with his constant begging and consequently would not lose an ounce. Royal Canin Weight Care Dry Food has been a GAME CHANGER! Our crabby chubby boy stuck his nose into the bowl straight away with no complaints and three significant changes in his behavior occurred: 1) he no longer begs, 2) he eats less kibble and even leaves some behind We have a 10-year old Siberian cat who is nearing 18lbs but should be more around 16 lbs at a healthy weight.

We know now that he is on his way to his optimal weight and WE now feel less stressed everyday too! We also ordered Royal Canin Satiety formula dry to keep on hand but have not opened the bag yet (Chewy was awesome and contacted our Vet right away for us to get the okay and shipped it - kudos Chewy!). We always thought the cost of Royal Canin would not be worth it....but we were wrong. It is! We cannot recommend it more. … more

I’m a YodaBear, and I love my kibble. I love it a little too much, actually. My doctor told my hoomans to feed me wet food, because I was getting too plump! But I don’t like wet food, I like kibble. Fortunately I’m cute, and my MamaBear and PapaBear love me, so they didn’t make me eat icky wet food. Instead, they got me Royal Canin’s Plumpness Control kibble. It’s yummy! I just stuff my snout with it whenever I’m hungry, and sometimes even if I’m not hungry. It’s filling and yummy and doesn’t have too many calories. Last time I saw my doctor, she said I wasn’t too plump any more! Thanks to Royal Canin’s Plumpness Control kibble, now I’m just the right amount of plump - a kitten of perfect plumpness I’m a YodaBear, and I love my kibble. I love it a little too much, actually.

My vet suggested changing to this to try to help my furries lose some weight. I guess they love everything else I get from Chewys a little TOO much. LOL They actually surprised me by changing to eat this as their dry food component in their diet. . It has not been long enough to see any results. I will reorder.

Have been using the Royal Canin Weight Minceur dry food for 2 1/2 years - adopted 2 middle-age cats with weight problems. It worked well; I measure their food & they have slimmed down. Coats & energy levels are good. Unfortunately the formula has changed. Royal Canin is now using PEA PROTEIN, 2nd ingredient. I purposely sought out a cat food that does not use pea or soy protein - and they have now modified the formula to include this. I will have to put myself through a search for an acceptable food once again - & my cats potentially through the digestive issues caused by a change in diet. Boos to Royal Canin for reducing the quality of their food.

So just got this new formula weight care after feeding the previous tri-star shaped version to my cat for 6 years, this new ingredient change is making her sick now, the shape has also been changed to a ring shape making it unfamiliar to cats, not happy with the updated version.

My cat has enjoyed this food for over a year. It’s kept her weight steady and she’s been healthy. Now I’m a little upset as they changed the kibble shape without any warning. It’s now shaped like a Cheerio. Supposedly this keeps cats from eating too fast. Unfortunately my cat basically just swallows them whole! Then she throws up... Darn! Now I have to try to find another dry food for her. It would have been nice if they could have given a heads up on this. I knew the round kibble didn’t work as I discovered it with another Royal Canin food. Argh

Sadly, the change in formula made my cat violently ill. One reviewer mentioned an addition of pea protein. Another reviewer called the company, who stated the formula did not change, but the shape did. Whatever did change, made my 9-year old cat throw up each time she ate it. She did not throw up eating her wet food. It took me a week to figure out the connection, and so I’m very upset the company is not coming clean that they made ingredient changes. It was enough to make my poor cat ill.

Hello! I've been using this food for years. For anyone wondering, I did call Royal Canin today and the feline weight kibble did change shape. The new shape is an "o". Looks like a "cheerio" or "donut". They did not change the formula. Royal Canin has continuously conducted studies on how cats pick up food and chew. The kibble change was determined to allow the cats to slow down and promote chewing for this weight care line. Enjoy!
