Royal Canin believes that a cat's diet should take into account all the parameters of life, such as age, physiology, breed, life style as well as the individual circumstances. Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive provides a healthy diet based on Royal Canin's commitment to the highest quality. This food is based on the Macro Nutrient Profile instinctively preferred by kittens during the second growth phase (4 to 12 months). Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive is also suitable for lactating queens. Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive cat food is made to a formula specifically developed for kittens in their 2nd growth phase (4 to 12 months), when growth has slowed down. Young cats prefer a specific nutrient profile & Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive is based on the Macro Nutrient Profile which kittens in their 2nd growth phase intuitively choose. This helps to encourage a long-term acceptance, since no matter how healthy the food is, if your cat doesn't like it & won't eat, it won't do your cat much good. During the 2nd growth phase your kitten's bone structure gets stronger. Your pet will still have high energy requirements but they are not as high as during the initial growth phase. Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive provides a healthy diet with all the necessary nutrients to help keep your kitten lively & in the best of health. During the 2nd phase your kitten's immune system stabilises, but its general resistance is still not fully developed. Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive contains mannan-oligosaccharides & a complex of antioxidants (vitamin E, vitamin C, taurine & lutein) all of which help to improve the natural defences & promote healthy antibodies. Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive wet food contains juicy chunks in appetising jelly / gravy. During this growth phase your young cat will develop its permanent teeth & the chunks of food in Royal Canin Kitten Intensive are just the right size & texture for a young cat's jaws. The single portion pouches ensure that the food retains its full flavour & that the finest top quality nutrients are protected. & the pouches are convenient & easy to open. Royal Canin wet food provides your cat with a tasty & healthy balanced diet: Essential fats & oils: Provide your cat with energy while supporting its natural defences & encouraging a healthy coat. Lots of vitamins: These provide antioxidants & can strengthen the immune system & help to keep the metabolism healthy. Minerals: Can help to maintain a healthy metabolism, as well as encouraging healthy skin & bone development. Fibre: Helps to promote good intestinal flora & a healthy digestion. Proteins: Help to support the healthy development of organs, muscle & tissue. High digestibility: The carefully selected ingredients give Royal Canin wet cat food a minimum protein digestibility of 90%. The Macro Nutrient Profile is based on your cat's instinctive preference: this balanced, healthy food with Macro Nutrient Profile is made to a formula suitable for your cat's specific life phase & lifestyle. The Macro Nutrient Profile recognises the distribution of nutrients which provide energy. It represents an optimal balance of proteins, fats & carbohydrates which encourages long-term acceptance. The specific Nutrient Profile of a cat will vary with age, but also with its physiological state (e.g. pregnancy, lactation). Cats intuitively recognise & prefer food which best matches their individual Nutrient Profile. The Macro Nutrient Profile concept draws on Royal Canin's expertise & helps to guarantee an exceptionally long-term acceptance of the food. Cats don't get bored of Royal Canine Feline Health Nutrition products so it is not even necessary to serve different flavours & varieties each meal, especially since the actual taste of the food only plays a very small part in your cat's choice of food.
