Review on 6-Pack Of Royal Canin Adult Instinctive Thin Slices In Gravy Wet Cat Food, 3 Oz. - Highly Digestible And Palatable Diet by Michael Maes

Our Maine Coons & picky little rescue cat love Royal Canin canned food and it's noticeably beneficial for decreasing hairball activity & improving elimination. RC is definitely a good quality product that they actually eat: we tried many gluten-free, meat-only expensive organic products that they wouldn't touch. As far as I can figure out the gluten additives don't cause any problems and I suspect they may help our cats with elimination as they're not digested (much like feral cats pass undigestible animal hair & the like). Just a guess on my part, I'm no biologist.The downside is that it's gotten SHOCKINGLY EXPENSIVE in the past 5 years (>30% price increase(!) although Walmart has the best prices we can find) and the smell has gotten much stronger, but the cats don't leave any in their bowls. It's also becoming a bit hit-or-miss as far as getting it on time (we use Subscribe & Save, currently not offered for Royal Canin canned foods - seems to be a manufacturer issue & not Walmart's fault.)One of our cats has a compromised digestive system and the RC food have helped a LOT with that; we've also had great luck adding Purina Fortiflora Feline Nutritional Supplement Box, 30gm , sprinkling one packet over their wet food for maintenance in avoiding diarrhea (it also seems to be a taste enhancer for them.) One packet gets split 3 ways once a day & that's a sufficient maintenance dosage.However if RC continues escalating their pricing "just because they can," we'll definitely be trying some other brands to see if anything else can compete.
