Product description

Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive with Nutrient Preference formula for young cats in the second phase of growth (4 to 12 months).
Royan Canin maintain that a cat's diet should take into account all parameters of life, such as age, breed, life style, physiology and individual circumstances. The health-diet Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive cat food is based on Royal Canin's commitment to the highest quality and includes the Macro Nutrient Profile instinctively preferred by kittens in the second growth phase (4 to 12 months). Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive is also suitable for feeding mother cats.

Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive cat food provides a formula specially adapted to kittens in the second phase of growth (4 to 12 months) when growth has slowed down.

The young cat prefers a specific Nutrient Profile. Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive takes into account the instinctively preferred Optimal Nutrient Profile of kittens in the second phase of growth. This leads to instinctive and long-term acceptance. However healthy the diet, if the cat won't eat it, it's not much good!
In the 2. phase of kitten growth the bone structure strengthens. Energy requirements are still very high but are decreasing from the demands of the first phase of growth. The health-diet Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive cat food provides all necessary nutrients for optimal health and vitality.
The young cat is stabilising her immune system but her body's defences aren't yet fully developed. Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive supports a strengthening of the natural body defences of the kitten by promoting the formation of antibodies with mannan-oligosaccharides and a complex of antioxidants (vitamin E, vitamin C, taurine and lutein).
Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive wet food is juicy chunks in tasty gravy. The permanent set of teeth develops in the second growth phase. Royal Canin Kitten Intensive therefore features chunks which are optimally adapted in size and texture to the jaw of the young cat. The portioned freshness pouches maintain the full flavour of the food and protect the high quality of its nutrients. At the same time they are easy to open.

The instinctive preference – the Macro Nutrient Profile: the new health-diet with Macro Nutrient Profile is a formula adapted to the life phase and individual features of cats. The Macro Nutrient Profile describes the distribution of nutrients which provide energy. It signifies optimal proportions of proteins, fats and carbohydrates for long-term acceptance. The specific Nutrient Profile of cats varies with age, but also with physiological status (e.g. pregnancy, lactation).

Cats have the ability to recognise and prefer the food that most closely matches their individual Nutrient Profile. Combined with the know-how of Royal Canin the Macro Nutrient Profile concept guarantees exceptional, long-term acceptance of the food. Cats just don't get fed up with the Feline Health Nutrition products of Royal Canin! It is therefore not even necessary to change flavours from meal to meal, especially since taste is only a very small part of cats' food choice.

Changing from one food to another should be done gradually so your cat's intestinal flora has sufficient time to adapt to a new food. Over 7 days, mix Royal Canin wet food in gradually increasing proportions into your cat's existing diet. This gradual adaptation lowers the risk of diarrhoea. Excessive food intake may also cause digestive problems.

Please note that these are guidelines only. Actual feeding amounts should be adjusted according to your cat's age, activity levels and circumstances. Monitor your cat's weight and adjust feeding amounts as required. Daily amounts should be offered spread over two portions a day. Fresh water should be provided at all times.

My Maine coon kitten is nine months old, he loves this food as well as the Maine coon kitten dry food.

09/07/18 |Anna

We originally tried a different brand and because we had the Royal Canin dry food we thought we'd try our kitten on this. She loves it and prefers this to her previous food. Well worth it

03/04/17 |Klaudia

My 5 month old Ragdoll kitten wakes me every morning asking for his kitten instinctive pouch :) He loves this food combined with the RC dry kitten food. Would highly recommend!

I rescued a tiny fluffy kitten from some one who was giving away kittens too young as I was worried he'd not be taken care of or he may be used for dog bait, he was underweight. My other kitties are pedigree girls and have always eaten royal canin and have great health and digestion, so I decided that my tiny boy would benefit from it too! Obsidian quickly became healthy being fed on this kitten food, the vet was very impressed with his weight, health and shiny coat on his next check up. He eats every bit and still excitedly runs to the food now months later! I couldn't recommend this kitten food enough, it's fantastic! :) I also feed this to my cat that has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy because of the extra nutrients!

My 2 kittens had been under-socialised before I got them and had terrible stress-related diarrhoea. They were on a vet prescribed Royal Canin wet food for their problems until they got better. I was worried about changing them off this but the Royal Canin Instinctive kitten food has been marvellous. They have no stomach problems and love the food. I thought they would get bored with it but months later they still eat every bit. Expensive but no waste.

I have a very fussy 5 month old kitten with a very sensitive stomach. She stuck her nose up to all of the hypoallergenic food I could find and was getting very worried she wasn't eating so tried this from other people's reviews. Her appetite is now through the roof! She loves it!

22/04/16 |Nicola Smith & Toshi

Our 18 week maine coon kitten Toshi loves this food. We got him some felix as a treat as that is what the breeder used to feed him. He walked away from it and demanded this instead. So I guess he is RC for life now!

I have a 5 month old maine coon who was rescued from under a truck.when I got her she was very thin.you could see her ribs!!she had a thin coat and dull eyes.she also had missing patches of hair.the vet suggested me to use kitten instinctive in gravy and so from that day I did use it.from then her recovery has been awesome!!she doesn't look like the same cat anymore.she went from a cat with an unhealthy coat and dull eyes to a cat with a fluffy coat and bright eyes!!she has gained weight and now she is perfectly normal weighted.thanks to royal can in kitten instinctive.i really do recommend this product.

I have 2 very fussy MCs (loonie coonies) kittens. I have really tried everything, honestly, EVERYTHING! After filling my cellar with unused cat food and then giving it to the local kitten rescue centre I have finally got something at least one of them will eat, and will eat all of it in the gravy form but not jelly. The other just eats her biscuit, best I have found for Maine Coons is the Hills TD and she scoffs this ok. Its worth the price especially from Zooplus as haven't found it cheaper.

At last I've found a quality food for our two kitties. They were rescued at 6 months and after a year I still felt 1 was a little undernourished. I chose this Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive with Gravy and they could not believe their luck. They are looking far pouffier and fluffier fur wise with nice soft shiny coats and bright eyes. The 1 who was on the thinner side is now looking far less scrawny!! I don't feel dry food alone was suiting them. I feel this is reasonably priced and I only give 1 quarter of pouch each of this twice a day so 1 pouch a day between 2 of them is enough to satisfy their hunger alongside the delicious Royal Canin biscuits. This brand is amazing - they sniff at other brands even the other "posher" kinds!! Do give this a try for your cats/kittens - you won't regret it!

10/06/14 |Sirona Birch

My mum-in-law's new kitten named Taffy was very uneasy about eating solid first at first but dove strait in on this wet food! Once he had realised the bowl wasn't that scary anyway. he is not a massive fan of dry food but loves this wet food. reordering more for the hungry bugger now so he stays happy. Amazing quality well priced product!

11/03/14 |originally published in zooplus.fr

I'd recommend this product for all kittens. My kitten loves it - I give it to him twice a day.

11/03/14 |originally published in zooplus.fr

Excellent product, my kitten loves it and asks for it every day !!

22/12/13

Pros: my two cats can't wait to eat it, as if there were no other food in the world worth eating Cons: The ingredients - it contains sugar and grains, neither of which are too great to include in cat food. I also find these pouches really impractical and it's tricky to get all of the food out. I have to admit I like sweets and fast food occasionally myself, so I allow my cats to have this now and again for a treat, but not too often, or they'll soon not eat anything else!

14/11/13 |Lynn Stone

Our rescue cats need a boost and these pouches always go down well. I feel that they provide a good balance, giving excellent nutritional value and putting our abandonned cats back on track ready to find their forever home!

27/08/13 |originally published in zooplus.de

My two black panthers love RC Kitten Instinctive, but I have trouble getting all of the food out of the pouch.

22/08/13

My two kitties eat this food much more quickly than their dry food. They just love it. I find it a bit more complicated to get all of the food out of the pouch, compared to Kitekat wet food

12/05/13

Great product, i have a very fussy ragdoll kitten with expensive taste, she would turn her nose up at felix kitten pouches, and all dry food......THEN i discovered Royal Canin, i read the reviews and although its expensive thought i would give it a try. So glad i did she absolutely loves it before it would be a good day if she managed to get through 1 pouch of the previous brand and half of it was being binned, with royal canin she is thriving she eats two pouches a day now with virtually none going to waste, very impressed. It is slightly dear but if she loves it so much im happy to keep feeding her this. If you are considering trying it..do it you will not be dissapointed!

30/04/13 |elena

My little maine coon was weaned with royal canin products and liked them a lot. This wet food is particularly pleasing but I preferred to move gradually to Almo Nature, more natural and cruelty free.

29/10/12

We have a 7month old British Shorthair, he's always been fed Royal Canin food and he's absolutely thriving on it. His coat is soft, smooth and shiney, he's full of energy and eats every bit of his Kitten Instinctive. The only slight disadvantage is the price but to be honest, if our kitten loves it so much and it's clearly doing him some good then we're prepared to pay that bit extra to give him what he loves. He also has the Royal Canin dry food and loves that too!!
