Love it

A complete dietetic dry food for cats aged 1+ years with excessive body weight. This food with low energy density is especially formulated to help your pet lose weight. Suitable for diabetes type 2.
Being overweight not only affects your pet's well-being, it can also have long-term effects on your pet's health and ultimately reduce its life expectancy. Royal Canin Veterinary Diet - Satiety Support SAT 34 is a complete cat food with a low energy density and will help your pet to lose weight. Proteins have 30% less energy compared with a comparable level of carbohydrates.
The benefits of a high protein, low calorie diet are many:
Well accepted
Counteracts muscle loss during a weight reduction programme
Indications:
If your pet is overweight
Diabetes mellitus
Contraindications :
Pregnancy or lactation, kittens
Key benefits:
High fibre: Selected fibres, chicory pulp and psyllium husks and seeds ensure that your cat feels full up quickly and that this feeling of satiety lasts for a long time.
Balanced nutrients: A high concentration of minerals and vitamins help to compensate for the energy restrictions and ensure a balanced supply of vital nutrients.
Joint support : Chondroitin sulphate and glucosamin help to maintain normal mobility in the highly stressed joints of obese pets and have a positive effect on degenerative joint disease.
EPA/DHA: Essential fatty acids (omega 3 and omega 6) and trace elements (Cu, Zn) keep skin healthy and your pet's coat shiny.
Changing your pet's diet and length of treatment:
The length of time your pet needs to stay on a reducing diet depends on how much weight needs to be lost. Weight should be lost slowly to ensure your pet stays healthy and only loses fat tissue from the body. Ideal weight loss is 1 to 3% of the bodyweight per week. Too rapid weight loss can cause feline hepatic lipidosis or lead to other illnesses. Once your cat has reached its target weight it should be weighed regularly to ensure that it maintains an ideal body weight.
Therapeutic veterinary diets are carefully formulated and recommended to be used in conjunction with veterinary advice and support. Royal Canin strongly recommend you seek advice from your Vet prior to and during feeding of any of these products to your pet.
I have a rather overweight cat and she loves this food. Paired with regular exercise, she has lost weight and has more energy. My other two also love it so I would recommend the brand too as well as this specific food.

Big Kitty is Shrinking - part 2
Big Kitty is down from 8.0 kg to 5.4 kg in 6 months! The vet was very pleased and wants him down to 5.0 kg which should be doable even if I feed him a 'light' cat food at least one meal per day. He is a lot more active now and no longer feels like a furry kettle bell.

This works!
My cat Cookie was a cat protection cat and sadly for her was kept in a pen. She is a vocal cat and to keep her quiet in her pen she got fed. The more she meowed the more she was fed. We took her on at 10.5kg! She looked like she had swallowed a football and she could hardly move. The obvious dangers of diabetes and heart illnesses were there but I kept her diet manageable and with this food and she is now 4.10kg and is an extremely active and lively cat whom we have loved watching “grow”

Big Kitty is shrinking!
My 8kg longhair male cat (may be part Maine Coon) was put on this by Vet in January 2020. I measure out the correct amount and isolate him from other two cats to feed him. He no longer has access to their food which is helping with his weight loss, but even better is he really loves this food. And he is showing progress by mid-March. The goal is to get him down to 6kg over a year. He is already becoming more active so i am hopeful that this is a realistic goal.

Best weight management
My Badger loves this food and it has reduced my curvy 6kg kitty to a svelte 3.6kg - she does not need to diet anymore but am happy to keep her on the pictured food for weight maintenance. Wish the food manufacturer would put it in “keep fresh” sealable bags though. Come on Royal Canin !

Dry cat food
My cat has had a weight issue, but after two years on this food she is a good weight, finally - I will continue to feed her this ti maintain her weight. Unfortunarely the big bags could do with a press seal or something to keep the food fresh...., U could not comment in the smaller bags as I buy in bulk, please inform the makers ! Otherwise I would given 5****!

Sparky
I last reviewed this in May last year. Well Sparky is nearly at his target weight. He saw the vet recently for his 6mth check up and their finding it hard to believe he is 17 yrs old. No longer does he have visible dander as he can now clean himself. His weight loss has been in fits and starts, mind he does get occasionally treats. He lost loads at first then it has come down gradually. Can't recommend this food highly enough, it's brilliant...

Brilliant stuff
I rehomed a very big girl last February, she’s been on this diet every since. In 9 months she lost 2kg and is now a health 5.7kg. She’s more active and so much happier. Can’t recommend it enough. It works but you have to be strict, which at times is hard but sooooo worth it x

Brilliant stuff
I took in a homeless cat who weighed just over 7kg. His owner died and when the family sold the house they threw him out. His weight was due to neighbours all feeding him. A restricted diet didn't work but with this food his weight is just under 6kg so we are nearly there. For it to work you must read the instructions and weigh it. Only feed the daily recommended amount, don't leave it out as a free for all. Sparky started out on 50+gms per day but now only gets 43gms to get him to his target.

The only thing my cats lost was their condition.
I put my four cats on this as two of them were overweight. They gobbled it up and I kept them on it for four months or so, they did not lose weight, despite me giving them exact recommended quantity each time (and nothing between) and it made all of them lose condition, their coats, once shiny, became dull and contained dandruff. One of my cats got very constipated and I had to take to the vet for a laxative. I do not recommend this product and I wish I had never bought it.

Lose weight and fills them up. FAB, 5 STARS
I have a Make Neutered Bengal cat who is so laid back but loves food. That aside his weight gained to 10kg. I noticed when he couldnt clean his own bottom. I took him to the vets for Weight loss help as everything I did didn't work. The Vets started him on Satiety. 60g per day at the begin Aug. After two weeks he had lost 500g. He has lost week after week and as of today weighs 8.4g. He now has half a pouch of felix too.This food is fab. The price here is half the price of the vets.

Oh Wowee
4 out of 5 cats needed to loose weight and after 2 weeks on this diet they have lost a kilo each. I think that is a result!

No significant difference after 6 weeks
After being given a small bag off my vet I decided to order form here as its much cheaper. The price is great and I cant fault Zooplus on their service.
But the product for me has just not worked. My cat weighted 6.55kg, and I started her on 50g (ideal weight 5.5kg) then moved her to 40g after the 4 week period.
I just took her for a weigh in and she's only lost 0.32kg.
And that's with a new Catit Senses toy keeping her active and a new fishing rod toy which she goes mad for.
This just isn't good for a female overweight cat. I will be trying the Obesity Management one instead.

Fantastic
Amazing. Suffered through diet food for months with absolutely no success and much unhappiness on the part of the cat. Got Satiety and now have to fight the other cats off the diet food!

No longer satisfied by Satiety
SAMs been on this for over a year and got down to his target weight 5.5k. However he's always enjoyed it, though his appetite has never been satisfied, and he asks for food every hour or two, which as you can imagine can drive me mad! Now I feed little and often which seems to be the answer - managing 70-80g daily.
However, he's really been off the food this week and I wonder if its because we're almost down to the last few kibbles. Of a 3.5k bag. I have a feeling it loses its smell or begins to taste stale. I've just ordered another couple of lge money-saving bags, and wonder if the smaller bags stay fresh for longer.

Owner's responsibility!
Obesity diets are great but they only work if the owner keeps an eye on how much the cat eats (and if the cat isn't eating extra dinners out of the house!) Royal Canin is the best food for this problem!

Finally!
I'm so happy to have found a diet food that helps my greedy cat to lose weight. By feeding the recommended amount I got very good results without having a cat complaining of starvation at every meal!
