Royal treatment for cats

MANILA, Philippines - Royal Canin introduces a breakthrough cat nutrition range that meets the nutritional needs of cats in every stage of its life.

Royal Canin has partnered with professional breeders and veterinary nutritionists to develop a specially formulated wet diet that is tailored according to the various stages and condition of a cat’s life.

“In the development of our products, we take into account factors such as age, physiological condition, breed, lifestyle and even some specific sensitivities so that our products can provide maximum nutrition to cats with different needs,” says Dr. Samuel Rebong, general manager of Royal Canin Philippines.

By studying the dietary needs of cats in different ages and physical conditions, Royal Canin was able to develop the Macro Nutritional Profile (MNP), the feline equivalent of the human food pyramid. A cat’s MNP varies according to its age and physiological state. For example, a kitten less than five months old needs more fat and protein than carbohydrates to develop its bones and muscles. On the other hand, a cat almost a year old needs more proteins and carbohydrates than fats.

The Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition Wet Range has been specially formulated to suit cat’s changing MNP. For kittens up to 12 months old, there is Kitten Instinctive, which is composed of small, tender chunks for easy chewing while the cat’s permanent teeth develops. It also boosts the kitten’s anti-body defenses, strengthens the cat’s bone structure and provides ample energy for lengthy play times.

For adult cats over a year old, Instinctive helps promote a healthy urinary system by reducing the concentration of minerals that causes urinary stones. And because it comes in chunks with gravy, it maintains it exceptional palatability for a long period of time.

Royal Canin has Ultra Light, the cat food with L-carnitine. It helps burn fat and at the same time, provide energy and preserve muscle mass thanks to a high-protein content. For cat breeds with long furs, there is Intense Beauty with Shiny Hair Complex (SHC) which is composed of Omega 3 and 6, vitamin B and zinc. SHC nourishes the hair and helps a shiny coat while minimizing shedding.

For cats over 10 years old, there is Oral Mature, the only dental-sensitive cat food. As cats grow older, they may lose their appetite because of sensitive teeth and a reduced sense of smell. Oral Mature’s tender chunks and gravy make it possible for elder cats with sensitive teeth and gums to continue eating normally.

Besides a wide range of specialized cat nutrition range, Royal Canin’s products also boast intelligent packaging that ensures perfect portions for your pet cat. The single-serve pouch is a handy format that makes sure you serve the right amount every time.
