Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition Indoor Gravy 7+ (WET FOOD )

Product Features:

• Formulated for Senior Indoor Cats (7+ years): This wet food is specifically designed for indoor cats aged 7 and older. As cats age, their nutritional needs change, and this food addresses those needs by supporting their aging bodies, particularly in terms of energy, digestion, and overall vitality.

• Supports Healthy Aging: With antioxidants (like vitamin E and C) and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA), this food helps fight the effects of aging by protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting cognitive function and overall health.

• Helps Maintain Ideal Weight: Indoor senior cats are often less active, and this formula is designed with controlled fat content to help maintain a healthy weight. The balance of nutrients is tailored to prevent obesity, which is a common issue in senior indoor cats.

• Supports Digestive Health: As cats age, their digestive system may become more sensitive. This formula contains highly digestible proteins and prebiotics (FOS) to support optimal digestion, nutrient absorption, and healthy stool quality.

• Promotes Urinary Health: Senior indoor cats are prone to urinary tract problems. This formula maintains an appropriate mineral balance to help support healthy urinary function and reduce the risk of urinary tract issues.

• Palatability: Senior cats can sometimes become finicky eaters, but Royal Canin has designed this food to be highly palatable, ensuring that even older cats who may have reduced appetites will enjoy it.

• Hydration: As a wet food, this recipe provides additional moisture, helping keep your senior cat hydrated, which is especially important for kidney health and urinary tract function.

Key Ingredients:

• Chicken: High-quality protein that is easily digestible, providing the essential amino acids that senior cats need to maintain muscle mass and overall health.

• Rice: A digestible carbohydrate that provides a steady source of energy while being gentle on the digestive system, making it ideal for older cats with potentially sensitive stomachs.

• Beet Pulp: A source of fiber that promotes healthy digestion by supporting regular bowel movements and reducing the risk of constipation, which can be more common in senior cats.

• Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids): Rich in EPA and DHA, which support healthy skin and coat, reduce inflammation, and contribute to joint and brain health. Omega-3s are particularly beneficial for older cats to support cognitive function and mobility.

• Prebiotics (FOS): These help nourish the beneficial bacteria in the gut, supporting a healthy digestive system and improved nutrient absorption.

• Taurine: An essential amino acid that supports heart function, eye health, and overall well-being, which is especially important in aging cats.

• Vitamins (A, D, E, C): These vitamins support immune health, protect cells from oxidative stress, and contribute to overall health and vitality.

• Minerals (Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Potassium): Vital for maintaining bone health, muscle function, and proper metabolic processes.

• L-carnitine: This nutrient helps regulate fat metabolism, promoting lean muscle mass and preventing excess fat accumulation, which is important in older cats who are less active.

• Magnesium: Important for maintaining urinary tract health, muscle function, and electrolyte balance.

Usage Instructions:

• Feeding Guidelines: The recommended feeding amounts depend on your cat’s weight, activity level, and metabolism. Here are general guidelines:

  • For a 2-3kg cat: Feed approximately 1/2 to 1 pouch per day, divided into 2 meals.

  • For a 4-5kg cat: Feed approximately 1 to 1.5 pouches per day, divided into 2 meals.

  • For a 6-7kg cat: Feed approximately 1.5 to 2 pouches per day, divided into 2 meals.

  Adjust portions based on your cat’s weight and activity level. Older cats may require fewer calories, so monitor your cat’s body condition and consult your vet if you’re unsure about the right portion size.

• Serving: Serve at room temperature for the best taste and texture. Open the pouch and place the food in a clean, shallow bowl. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside the meal to encourage hydration.

• Storage: If there are leftovers, store the opened pouch in the refrigerator and use it within 24 hours. Do not leave the food out for more than 2 hours to avoid bacterial contamination.

Additional Tips:

• Weight Monitoring: Senior indoor cats are prone to gaining weight because they tend to be less active. Regularly monitor your cat's weight and adjust portions accordingly to maintain an ideal body condition.

• Hydration: Wet food is an excellent way to help your cat stay hydrated, especially since older cats are at higher risk of kidney and urinary tract issues. Ensure fresh water is always available to your cat.

• Digestive Health: The blend of easily digestible proteins, prebiotics, and fiber helps older cats with more sensitive digestive systems. If your cat shows signs of digestive upset (e.g., diarrhea or constipation), consult your vet to rule out other health issues.

• Joint and Mobility Support: As cats age, joint health can decline. While this food contains omega-3s (EPA/DHA) that support joint health, make sure your cat also gets regular low-impact exercise like indoor play or gentle stretching to help maintain mobility.

• Regular Vet Checkups: Senior cats should have more frequent vet checkups to monitor for age-related health issues, including kidney function, heart health, and weight management. Your vet may recommend specific treatments or supplements to further support your cat's health.
