royal canin

I ran out of cat food this morning and could'nt go to my regular shop for food b/c I got off work to late so I ended up at petsmart and all they carry is junk so I ended up getting Royal Canin special 33. The ingredients contain no by products and the first 3 ingredients are chicken and chicken fat, but it has rice and corn flour in it.It also has dried egg ,fish oil ,brewers yeast ,L lysine,chicory,beet pulp in it .It doesnt list carb amount but has no more than 2.5% fiber no less than 33% crude protien no less than 22% crude fat. What I'm trying to say is is it ant good?

Yep- one of the best out there imo- I love their babycat 34 for young kittens. I have used their Persian skin care formula on one of my mixed breeds to smooth out a skin problem. They do their research and they have top-quality food-

Royal Canin is a good food I wish they would take out a few ingrediants they use.. but I have used it on my older cat for a time..What is your usual food??

Not exactly a horrendous food. I agree with Sharky, there are a few ingredients I wish they'd remove, but it's not a bad food.

My Marsh grew up on Royal Canin. He was on babycat until about 6 months, kitten #34 until a year old, and now he's on indoor #27 - and everything's great. His health, weight and coat are fantastic, and he's in optimal health

Special 33 combined with Senior (can't remember the #) is what I feed my cats. It's the only food I've found (after years of searching) that doesn't make Felixia vomit. She used to vomit 2-3x/day, but since she's been on RC the only times she's vomited have been when she's gotten into one of the other cat's prescription food. Woohoo! No more 'surprises'!
I just wish they would sell a canned version too - I prefer to feed a mix of canned & dry.

The boys normally get innova lite but either tigger or kaya has been vomiting so if this sensitive stomach formula works I might switch

If it doesnt find the simplest food you can...

i spoke with marsh's breeder last night, and she actually said that #33 special/sensitive is better than #27 indoor, because if contains less starch and carbs, and more fat/protein. so i went out and got a new bag already last night. I'll be switching him slowly over the next month

Thanks for trying/feeding our foods to your cats. I have my cat on the Special 33 and I notice a difference in her. She often vomits food, but not on the Special 33 and it's good for keeping the weight on her too, she is a very lean cat who can use the extra calories in the Special diet.
