IMMUNE SUPPORT: An exclusive blend of antioxidants and vitamins helps provide immune support for a kitten’s developing immune system

DIGESTIVE SUPPORT: An innovative combination of highly digestible proteins, fibers, and prebiotics helps to provide digestive support for kittens

HEALTHY ENERGY: Delivers a mix of proteins, minerals, and vitamins to meet the growth and development needs of this stage in a cat’s growth

EASY-TO-CHEW KIBBLE: Unique kibble texture is easy to chew: perfect for a young cat’s mouth and emerging teeth

By the time a kitten gets to be around 4 months old, their growth rate slows, but their activity levels skyrocket. With intensifying energy levels, developing bones, growing muscles, and emerging teeth, older kittens need a different kind of nutrition than a younger baby cat.
Royal Canin Kitten Dry Food gives your kitten a healthy start with nutritional precision: An innovative mix of highly digestible proteins, vitamins, and other essential minerals support their maturing digestive system and keeps their growing bodies strong. And an exclusive blend of antioxidants supports their developing immune system. Transitioning from Royal Canin Mother & Babycat wet and dry formulas is easy: the small, easy-to-chew kibble made specifically for kittens’ mouths.

Kitty loved it!

Very impressed by the ingredients and the health benefits. Great aroma and nice sized kibble. Easy open bag and stays sealed. Makes me feel like I am doing the best for my kitten. It is on my shopping list going forward.

She Loves It!

She was curious and sniffing away at the bag befor I could even get it open! Once I opened it and gave her some to try, she really seemed to enjoy it a lot compared to other dry food I've tried for her. I'm really happy because I've heard Royal Canin is a fantastic brand, and the food is packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals my growing kitten needs!

kitten approved!

my experience was great with this product. My kitten absolutely enjoyed the food and sometimes she can be a bit picky so it’s a big plus that she liked it. I definitely would purchase this product again, especially considering that not only is it approved by my kitten, but the packaging is very well designed and I don’t have to worry about the bag ripping while carrying it which also is a seller for me.

Healthy, nutritious, great for the finickiest kitt

My playful little kitten, Eggroll, is a sweet, energetic little Siamese goofball and boy, is he finicky! As each day passes, I notice more and more that he no longer enjoys eating the same foods/ snacks and seems to really need a little variety to his diet. After some research online, I visited the vet to ensure that my little ball of fur was fine physically, he was; but, the vet suggested I try Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition Kitten Dry Food and gave me a few additional supplements to promote better health and growth. After a few days of substituting Royal Canin with his regular food, my cat seemed to get used to the texture and flavorful taste and had noticeably more energy. I really love seeing my kitten enjoy the small bite sized crunchy kibble and then, be ready for more play time as he is now satisfied and ready to bounce, then pounce!

Best kitten food

My kitten absolutely enjoyed royal canin kitten food! He couldn't stop eating it... I always allow him to free feed, but since trying this product I had to stop. My kitten fell in love this food and it very nutritional. I'm now a committed purchaser of royal canin.

My cat was really feeling this Feline Royal Canin

My cat was hesitant at first but then he couldn't get enough of it. My cat is normally a picky eater and turns up his nose to certain foods and snacks it took a few trials and errors for him to choose which food he will actually eat so he surprised me that he actually ate it and was circling and meowing at me for more. I will definitely be buying more for him.

MEOW approved

My kitten loved the taste of this food. He tends to be a bit picky but we had absolutely no problem. As soon as he saw the bag he knew it was time to eat, it was definitely Kitty Approved!

Royal Canin Kitten

Wow, the ingredients are horrible. With a name like Royal Canin I was expecting something better. This food is nothing but fillers and by-products! The first ingredient is chicken by-product meal. Not even real meat! I cannot in good conscience feed this food to my kittens. I want a food that is made with real meat not just by-product meal. Unlike fresh meat, meat meal and by-product meal is made from parts of animals that aren't allowed to be sold for human consumption; things like residual meat, offal, connective tissues and, in some cases, bones. These ingredients are cooked at extremely high temperatures and essentially dehydrated down to a dry brown powder. Doesn't sound like something I want to feed my growing kitten! I will not be purchasing this food.
