FAQs

Is this food suitable for kittens or senior British Shorthair cats?

No, this formula is specifically developed for adult British Shorthair cats. Royal Canin offers specific formulations for kittens and senior cats that cater to their unique developmental and aging needs.

How does this food support heart health?

It contains a balanced blend of taurine (an amino acid), antioxidants, and Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which are known to support healthy cardiac function, addressing the breed's potential predispositions.

Can I feed this to a non-British Shorthair cat?

While not harmful, this food is precisely formulated for the unique needs of British Shorthairs. For other breeds, Royal Canin offers breed-specific or general adult cat food options that may be more appropriate for their specific nutritional requirements.

What are L-Carnitine, Glucosamine, and Chondroitin?

L-Carnitine supports healthy fat metabolism and muscle mass. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are crucial for maintaining healthy cartilage and joint function, supporting mobility and comfort.

How much should I feed my cat?

Feeding guidelines are typically provided on the packaging, based on your cat's weight, age, and activity level. If mixed feeding with wet food, follow the specific combined feeding instructions to ensure optimal nutrient intake. Always ensure fresh water is available.

Why is the kibble shaped differently?

The large, arched, and curvy kibble is uniquely designed to fit the broad jaw of a British Shorthair, making it easier for them to grasp and encouraging thorough chewing, which aids in oral hygiene.

What are L.I.P. proteins?

L.I.P. stands for 'Low Indigestible Protein'. These are proteins selected for their very high digestibility, meaning they are easily absorbed and utilized by your cat's digestive system, reducing digestive load.

Troubleshooting

My cat is refusing to eat the new food.

Ensure you are following a gradual transition schedule over 7 days. Some cats are more sensitive to diet changes. If refusal continues, try warming a small amount of wet food variant (if applicable) and mixing it in, or consult your veterinarian.

My cat is experiencing digestive upset (vomiting/diarrhea).

This can occur with sudden diet changes. Revert to a slower transition period, or if symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian. Ensure fresh water is always available.

My cat isn't chewing the kibble despite its special shape.

While the kibble is designed to encourage chewing, some cats may eat quickly. Ensure they have a quiet, undisturbed eating environment. If dental health is a concern, consult your vet for a check-up.
