Royal canine male neutered food concern

Hi Jenna - welcome!

If you're concerned about cystitis, feeding a wet diet and ensuring good hydration would be my first recommended step. It will end up being better for both cats, but especially for Alfie. If you haven't done so, I strongly recommend reading this page on urinary health for cats: http://www.catinfo.org/?link=urinarytracthealth

It's possible there is a bad batch of Royal Canin in that formula, but it's also fairly common for cats to either get bored of their food and no longer take interest in it, or to prefer only one food and be difficult to transition to other brands, recipes, or formulas.

Hi, thank you for the reply. Its just a bit strange that they have both gone off it at the same time. They stay hydrated, I actually have a water fountain for them so they drink a lot. Unfortunately I cannot give Alfie wet food as he vomits after, he's best on dry food with 3 small meals a day, he eats so fast that if he has to much at once he's sick, and nearly always sick with the wet food. I'm stuck in a bit of a dilemma. I think it possibly is a bad batch, as it doesn't seem to have its usual crunch that you normally hear when they eat it. Just not sure what to do for the best really, can't discuss it with my usual vet either as he's had an injury and we have locums in the clinic and they haven't been very helpful! X

Iv just been looking at the difference between the food I used to give them and the royal canin male neutered. And the old food is much better, first ingredient is chicken, it also has cranberry extract. I'm going to go back to giving them this. And I will introduce a small amount of wet food a few times a week and see how Alfie gets on! X

What kind is the old food?

It's a pets at home advanced nutrition food x
