Product Information

Full details

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Skin & Coat is a specialized wet cat food designed for adult cats experiencing skin sensitivities or coat issues. This formula provides targeted nutritional support, including essential Omega-3 fatty acids and a complex of antioxidants, to maintain the skin's natural protective barrier and promote a shiny, healthy coat. While highly effective for managing dermatological health, it is a clinical diet that should only be served under the direct guidance and recommendation of a veterinary professional.

FAQs

Do I need a vet prescription for this food?

Yes, this is a veterinary diet and should only be given to your cat when recommended by a veterinary professional.

Can I feed this to my kitten?

No, this formula is specifically designed for adult and neutered cats up to 7 years of age.

Can I mix this with dry food?

Yes, mixed feeding is encouraged, provided you follow the specific feeding guidelines for both products to ensure an accurate total intake.

What is the primary flavor of this wet food?

This formula features salmon as the primary flavor profile.

How long should my cat stay on this diet?

The duration of the diet should be determined by your veterinarian based on your cat's specific dermatological needs.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to eat the new food

Ensure a gradual transition period and try warming the pouch slightly to enhance the aroma.

Digestive upset during transition

Slow down the transition process by increasing the ratio of old food to new food until the cat adapts.

Excessive weight gain

Review daily feeding guidelines with your vet, as clinical diets are calorie-dense; adjust portions based on current weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports the natural skin barrier with targeted nutrients
  • Rich in EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids for coat health
  • Includes antioxidants to fight free radicals
  • Appetizing wet texture with thin slices in gravy
  • Compatible with mixed feeding programs using matching dry food

Cons

  • Requires a veterinary recommendation before use
  • Not suitable for all life stages (primarily adult and neutered cats up to 7 years)
  • Available only as part of a veterinary clinical range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Transitioning to a veterinary diet should always be done gradually over 5-7 days to prevent digestive upset. To maintain the nutritional integrity of the pouches, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once a pouch is opened, it should be served immediately; any uneaten portions should be refrigerated and discarded if not consumed within 24 hours. When following a mixed feeding plan, consult the packaging or your veterinarian for specific portions of wet and dry food to avoid overfeeding and ensure your cat maintains an ideal body weight.
