Royal Canin Weight Care Dry Cat Food

We went straight from RC kitten formula to the weight management formula because one of my two cats had put on a lot of weight in her first year of life. Both cats love it. My larger cat went from 19 llbs to 13 lbs over the last two years. We also started to incorporate play more. We are so proud of her. She isn't as lethargic and actually self plays now! As for the feeding quantities, we found it easier to break their food up into 3 meals a day- breakfast, dinner, and night snacks). This was because my boy would eat all he would want and leave while his sister would finish off hers and his leftovers. We had to find the perfect amount he would eat in one setting and then multiply it into meals We went straight from RC kitten formula to the weight management formula because one of my two cats had put on a lot of weight in her first year of life.

Mo is a big cat and has been slightly chubby. Now he is getting a bit older I wanted to make sure his weight remains steady or help him loose a lbs. He has been eating Maine Coon kibble and wet food. He now gets half Maine Coon and half of this weight management food, no change in wet food. He likes it, and begs a bit less. Kibble size is small, so he pretty much inhales it without chewing. His coat looks fine, which is different from prior attempts when it started to look very dull. His lean brother also likes it (though he picks out the Maine coon kibble first). I also use it as treats in their feeding puzzles.

I dreaded switching my cats to weight management food, but they LOVE this one! It even smells good to me. But I'm not rushing to taste it myself, as long as the kitties are enjoying it and staying healthy I'm happy.

My cat ate this food a little for the first few days (it was gradually added to her old food). But as this food became the more prevalent one, she refused to eat it. That's probably more an indication of preference than quality of the food, especially since it was one of the ones recommended by my vet, but nevertheless we'll be trying something else.

My two cats are "treat" lovers but they're getting chubby. So I bought this and when they come to me for treats, I use this and they love it. I also give them less treats. We'll see how it affects their weight; don't know yet.

LouAnne used to eat Royal Canin's old weight control for cats & loved it. They stopped making it--tried another brand & she hated it. She eats this one as good a old--luckily because she was having trouble finding anything she liked that was weight control.

My cats liked this immediately. I didn't have to mix it with anything. It comes in large bags which we like. Our cats are FAT, so we hope this works.

On the advice of our veterinarian, we are transitioning our cats to a lower calorie dry food. I bought a small bag of this to see if they would eat it. The cats were very interested as soon as the bag was opened, and have continued to enjoy the product.

We have 5 cats who rarely agree on one food. Other low calorie foods I've tried must not be as tasty because my cats have turned up their noses at it. This one is the exception as each cat seems to love it. I checked with my vet because I was concerned that it may not be okay for a cat who is not overweight to eat it. He gave his approval so no worry there. I still put out regular dry food for all but my one overweight cat. If you must put your cat on a diet but are having a tough time finding something they will eat, give this one a try.

None of our cats seem to like the flavor (we mix it with other RC bags) - our smallest cat actually spits these ones back out and will avoid them in her dish if possible. To top that off, our oldest cat today got one stuck on her fang - I am so glad they don't free feed and we were able to help her get it off right away. That had to be in just the right position for that to happen, but I can't imagine if we hadn't have been there to pull it off for her. So far so good with the other types of RC kibble we get, but this one's a dud for sure.
