1127 reviews forRoyal Canin Mother & Babycat

Bought this after reading reviews while looking for the best product to wean the 3 kittens my cat Poppy had. The food is very small ideal for kittens weaning. I started them off on them by soaking the biscuits first for the 1st few weeks. I already have 4 cats so with 3 additions I am running a full house, even ran out of cat dishes so this was served to the new kittens in a garlic tray and I'm pleased to say as soon as the food is down they line up like lil pigs at a trough lol ...

We adopted two 11 week old brother kittens from a animal shelter. They didn't provide us with any food for them to eat. We tried the kittens on Pet's at Home own brand dry kitten food on advice from them. The kibbles were massive and after 2 days one of our kittens was violently ill from having undigested food in his stomach. After reading some reviews we decided to try The Royal Canin Mother and Babycat dry food. They absolutely love it. The kibbles are tiny and they seem really crunchy as they are eating them. The kittens actually fight over who gets to it first. There is always an empty bowl 5 minutes after it is put down for them. They have flourished after only a few day eating it (in conjunction with Smilla kitten food), their coats are shiny and they are really active. Their toilet visits are also a lot better and they don't smell half as much as they used to. I would recommend this to anyone who has a kitten under 4 months old.

Upgraded from Whiskas to RC Mother and Babycat cold turkey, Kitten had no problem with the switch. Loved that the biscuits were small for him. Had no problem with vomiting, lovely bowel movement. Wouldn't touch the Whiskas pouches he used to love anymore. The only gripe is that there are other brands with higher protein content and quality ingredients that are of similar prices such as Applaws and Acana. Loving Zooplus for the variety and good prices!

My kitten adores it. When I adopted my kitten, the owners gave it Purina One for kittens, which I continued with for several days after taking him home, whilst gradually mixing in RC food. The difference is astonishing - the RC food is softer so easier for him to eat. he has a lovely coat and has never been ill. I'm now also using the Babycat Mousse

My Bengal kitten loves it, great for delicate tums!

My kitten hadn't eaten anything for 36 hours, not even "babycat & mother RC". However once I moistened the food with water he devoured the lot. Nice firm poo too. I would recommend feeding a very small amount to very little kittens.

My totally spoilt cat won't eat anything else.

my kitten thinks this is great! He looks great on it too !

My kitten loves this food, he's put on weight and his coat has a great shine!

I have been buying this to feed to young or sickly hedgehogs for a couple of years now. I like it for the high protein that is easily assimilated and the hogs gain weight much more quickly on this than other cheaper forms of dry foods. Also the very small kibble size is ideal for small mouths and teeth. I will continue to buy this into the future as long as there are hedgehogs coming to my feeding stations.

Widely used by hedgehog rescues across the country particularly for feeding up small or sickly hedgehogs. More or less the biscuit of choice for hogs. Hogs have small mouths/teeth so the size of the kibble is very important.

My cat is now 10 months old. Ive had her from 12 weeks, at first i brought dry food that was available in supermarkets and i noticed she wouldnt eat much of it. Until i went to my local pet shop and was advised this. From then she loves this!! Infact eats this more than her wet food. So little madam now has a lovely soft coat and is so healthy.... I love this!...Also a great price! I dont have to go out to get this....its delivered to my door.... Excellent!!!

High nutrition . Helps your cat looks their best . Everything you need for good start for your kitten !

I brought my two little monsters home when they were 8 weeks old. Up until then they'd been fed exclusively on whiskas pouches so I moved them onto this. They were a little confused at first but the tiny pieces were perfect for their little mouths and they soon seemed to prefer it to the whiskas. 2 and a half months later my little boy still adores this and tucks in the second I put it out but my little girl seems to have lost all interest and only eats it begrudgingly. However both of their coats look beautifully shiny and they both seem healthy so I plan on sticking with Royal Canin and moving them both onto Kitten 36 in a few weeks (working my way through a 4kg bag). I'd strongly recommend this if your kittens are under 12 weeks - I don't think mine could have coped with normal supermarket "kitten" food. I'd also recommend sticking to the 2kg bags - they aren't as economical but at least if you're kitten suddenly dislikes it you won't be left with tonnes of spare.

I have a litter of 3 6 week old kittns with only one taking kitten milk and kitten food, but all 3 kittens and the mum love this kibble and "wolf" it down - but should I change from "babycat34" to "kitten" at 12 weeks or stay with it??

really good for weaning kittens as its a really nice size :) all the cats loved it aswell!

My 8 week old Kitten loves this kibble. I've only had him a week and was rather concerned about him not eating the other brand of kibble I previously tried him on, instead he was eating on my puppies Royal Canin kibble, thats why I decided to try him on this. I've never seen a bowl empty as quickly, he loves it, i would recommend it to anyone.

My 3 cats loved it and ate this food till 6 months. It gave them energy and their fure were very silky and beautifull. We are now waiting for new arrival and will give them only this dry food. will recomend to every kitten.

i have hand reared a kitten she is very small and i never thought she would be able to eat these but she loves them they are just the right size. She is 4 weeks and putting on weight. best food iv ever found for weaning kittens.

This dry food has to be the best for kitten's weaning, as the kibbles are the smallest I've seen in any dry food, ideal for tiny mouths. It's the first dry food I fed my kitten at 4 wks old, and she's gone from weighing 625gr. to 1.2 Kg. in 4 weeks! Great start!

These kibbles are among Naru's favourites.

Great for kittens

Both mum and kittens really like it – I can only recommend it!

For the price, it's really bad. Hardly any meat, mostly cereals, and expensive just because it's a brand name.

Our new little addition likes them. They smell nice 😄

Tasty little chunks that she eats well

I think I got a bad batch or one that wasn’t stored properly because it has a bad smell, everything’s oily and the inner bag is all sticky with yellow residue stuck all over the inside. Be careful and always check before giving it to your cats.

I am successful

My kittens love it, and so does their mum. I like giving them the best so they stay healthy.

Apparently good, but not very easy to soak. It didn’t turn into porridge, just stayed as small individual sponges in texture. It took ages to get them soaked, even though the pieces are tiny. I had to run them through the food processor dry first to cut down the soaking time. Would have been better if they dissolved more efficiently. Otherwise, the size of the pieces is good for small kittens and they eat it dry now with great appetite.
