Review on Royal Canin Senior Cat Food - Aging 12+ Thin Slices In Gravy, 3 Oz Cans by Joseph Neal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pricier than popular store brands but SO worth it

My senior absolutely loves this food. She recently turned 12 last month, she was 9 when I adopted her. She is by far the pickiest eater I’ve encountered thus far. At first I was feeding her Sheba as it was the only wet food she would touch and is a step up from friskies, which was given to her when she was in the shelter. From there it’s been trial and error, she has severe allergies, stomatitis, and no teeth. Our veterinarian recommend the prescription hills science diet but I wasn’t trying to dish out $70 on a 12 pack of food that she most likely won’t touch. She did also mention the royal canine for sensitive digestive systems so I ended up going and picking up a few different cans to "test” her on and this is the only one she’ll touch. Her skin and fur feel and look great. She’s also managed to put on some actual weight within the small period of time that she’s been eating this food. She’s already of small stature but she was 7.5lbs when I adopted her and I’ve only managed to get her up to 9.0lbs but she’s been at a steady 8-8.8lbs for a few months. I can definitely tell that she’s gaining some weight, not a drastic amount but enough to where she actually looks healthy and well fed. I did read that Sheba was actually taken off the shelves at petco because it lacks in nutritional value that’s recommended for healthy cats so it could also be that she wasn’t receiving the proper about of nutrients. Who knows. I’m just glad we found something that we both like, she looks great and seems as though she feels great and she loves the taste. That’s a win win in my book.

Pros
  • The product is shipped and stored in a controlled environment to ensure that it remains fresh and nutritious
Cons
  • May cause cats to have diarrhea due to high levels of gravy
