HEALTHY AGING: A healthy aging complex and balanced vitamins and minerals meet neutered or spayed cats’ dietary needs

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: Mature cat food helps maintain healthy weight in older fixed cats that have reduced activity levels

KIDNEY HEALTH: Specific phosphorus levels promote renal health

COMPLETE AND BALANCED: Dry cat kibble is 100% complete and balanced cat nutrition and the perfect complement to Royal Canin Appetite Control Spayed/Neutered Wet Cat Food

Does your senior cat meow for more even after they've emptied their bowl? They may not be feeling full. That’s because of a common hormonal change that happens after a cat is spayed or neutered, causing a spike in hunger and decline in energy needs. This change lasts long into their senior years, and could lead to your cat putting on excess pounds.

Royal Canin Aging Spayed / Neutered 12+ Dry Cat Food is specifically made for the unique nutritional needs of your senior cat. This formula is designed with an exclusive blend of antioxidants, including lycopene and omega-3 fatty acids, to support your beloved senior kitty as they age. Moderate levels of fat content help maintain an ideal weight. And adapted phosphorus levels help support kidney health. Try pairing with Royal Canin Appetite Control Spayed/Neutered wet cat food for a meal your cat will love.

What a difference!

My 15 1/2 year old cat tested for stage 2 kidney disease and other problems in May 2018. Since October 2018 he has been on Royal Canin Aging 12+ (combination of canned loaf style and dry food). My cat just had blood work done and all numbers are better! He is no more than beginning stage 1 kidney disease now, possibly less. Anemia is no longer showing, and all other functions are great! Royal Canin is more expensive, but it is well worth the cost. My vet and I are both delighted!!

Tasty for Miss Timmers!

After searching for remedy for issues dear Miss Timmers was having, I found many stellar reviews online. She has nibbled several varieties & has loved them all. Turns out the scent, shape & size are all aspects she considers. While she enjoys her crunchies, I am confident her gut is being well fed.

Excellent food for cats

My cats have always been fed on Royal Cain food. My eldest cats are now 16, 13, 12, and 11 years I have had these from kittens and theyvare all in excellent health, lovely thick glossy coats, still interested in life and still very playful. They are like cats less than half their ages. I put this all down to the good nourishing really tasty Royal Canin food. Also in the food it is all good ingredients, none of which are unsafe for human consumption along with the low salt. All contributes to healthily happy long living cats. I would not consider giving my precious cats anything else. They mean too much to me.

Fixed the explosive diarrhea. Very palatable

Former stray cat, old, toothless, FIV+, showing diarrhea for about a year got better with RC dry food. This was the brand that fixed the diarrhea without giving him constipation and that he eagerly eats. If we go back to more inexpensive brands the diarrhea comes back. Unfortunately he does not like the canned version of this food

My cat loves this food.

My senior kitty has been eating this stuff for years and absolutely loves it. It's easily digestible for her sensitive stomach, and she absolutely loves the taste. She just turned 14 and still has loads of frisky energy and plays constantly. Royal Canin offers such a wide variety of cat products that it really shows how much they care about your pet.

Keeps my babies healthy

My cats, Karma 16 and Beau 15 have eaten Royal Canin food since they were babies. As they have aged their food has changed but it has always been Royal Canin. Beau has arthritis now and this food helps with the pain he has and helps him get around. He plays like a kitten and I have Royal Canin to thank for that. Karma eats this because of the kidney health it promotes. Most of her life she ate S/O because of urinary problems she had when not eating it so she needs the kidney health. I would assume they like it because they eat it. Thanks Royal Canin.
