Product description
Balanced and complete dry cat food for very fussy, food sensitive adult cats. Containing special proteins, fats and carbohydrates that your cat will love.
Post-ingestion perception is an essential distinguishing factor in what cats choose to eat. For many cats, this feeling is the overriding factor in deciding whether they will choose to eat this food over a prolonged period of time. The more positive the feeling about the food, the more likely the cat will be to eat this food in the future.
Royal Canin Exigent - Protein Preference cat food provides the right balance of nutrients for demanding, choosy cats, which are particularly sensitive to the taste of proteins in their food:
- Highest acceptance: The texture, the taste and the aroma of Royal Canin Exigent 42 dry cat food with Protein preference meets the demands of the fussiest cat.
- Helps maintain ideal weight: The balanced calorific content meets the nutritional requirements of a cat of ideal weight.
- Healthy Fur: the balanced nutrients include biotin and borage oil (rich in Omega- 6 fatty acids) to support healthy and beautiful fur.
Royal Canin has developed the Exigent product line to meet the exclusive nutritional needs of fussy cats, which satisfy even the most demanding of cats. Based on the latest science in palatability, they respond to each cat’s individual preference.
For more than 40 years Royal Canin has been making your pet’s health the prime focus of their work leading to the product range “Health Nutrition” amongst others. Only with the knowledge of your pet’s exact nutritional requirements and with respect for the individuality of every animal can the perfect meal be developed and produced to exactly meet your pet’s needs.

Dry food
Royal CANIN best dry food for my cats
11/07/24
Excellent
I bought this for my 2 cats, my girl eats anything and is overweight on this food she has lost weight and now maintains a healthy weight as I think the protein fills her up, my boy cats coat has gone from thin and wiry to thicker and softer, he is an athletic cat and a recent vets visit he got complimented on how good a condition he was in, I will be buying this again

Best dry food
I recently changed my kit cat on to this food. She is a BSH. But she is so small for her breed, and never has had an appetite. I have tried royal canin before and she’s not kept internet. Now I can’t get her off this stuff, she won’t eat her wet food because all she wants is this stuff! Am going to order the wet version to see if it’s the same. But she literally cries for this stuff. And this is a cat who will take or leave dreamies !! Highly recommend for fussy cats

Fits my baby's needs
Freya is fussy as they come, tried many different varieties of dry food with more meat content but she turned her nose on each of them. This one seems to be hitting her sweet taste spot.

See result within a month
My Maine coon girl was under weight as she became fussier. One month after I introduced this food to her, she definitely gained weight and her fur became shining and less knots. Highly recommend this food.

Delicious
My 3 Ragdoll’s absolutely love this food they can’t get enough of it.

Ran out faster than expected.
That's how much they love it. All of ours gobble this stuff down and make demands for the bowl to be refilled. The fussiest one refuses to eat anything else now.It's a good job this comes in large packs.

My cats favourite!
I try to vary my 2 cats diet by giving them different textures, shapes, taste, brands... But find that I always return to this as it is simply their favourite!
Other dry food may interest them for a little while but they soon lose interest and not bother to eat it anymore.
They never fail to finish this!

Great. Lives up to its promises.
My 3 cats love this food and the best thing about it is that they have never thrown it up, which was quite a problem with other brands.
Highly recommend it for sensitive cats or for households with lots of cats. This is the first dry food that all my cats have ever really liked.

3 VERY happy cats!!
My 3 cats absolutely ADORE this food and simply will not touch anything else! All three of the Exigent range are just as good as each other and my boys will gobble it up with no problem at all. Anything else just gets left!! I now purchase the huge 10kg bags as I know this is a winner every time.

My cats favourite
The first time I gave this to my pedigree Ragdoll boy I put it in a separate bowl encase he wasn't too keen as he is a very fussy eater.
However he went through it so eagerly I thought he was going to eat the bowl as well!
Now I have to mix this in with his other food otherwise he eats the Exigent 42 and leaves everything else. I don't know what Royal Canin have put in this but he absolutely loves this stuff.
