Passing the taste test

You might think your cat is a fussy eater, but it turns out he’s just looking for different qualities in his food. Use these tips to ensure he never turns his nose up again

Every cat owner knows the feeling of having their furry friend turn their back on a lovingly prepared meal. It can be frustrating, but it’s easy to find out where you’re going wrong – and what your cat is actually looking for. The first thing to understand is the difference between how humans and cats assess their meals. When we’re served dinner, we tend to judge it primarily on its look and taste.

Cats assess their food differently. For them, smell is generally the most important element, followed by texture and a nutrient profile that will help them feel full after eating. All this means humans are often pretty terrible at judging what their feline companions will enjoy. Thankfully, Royal Canin has done the hard work for you by developing a range of foods that are guaranteed winners. In fact, Royal Canin is so confident your cat will enjoy its food, it’s offering a 100% palatability guarantee – if your cat doesn’t love every single mouthful, you can have your money back*.

Nutritionally balanced

That’s not the only thing that makes Royal Canin’s food special. It has a team of nutritionists, who work closely with vets, pet owners and breeders, to produce foods that are precisely tailored to the needs of different ages and breeds of cat. That means you can feel confident that you’re giving your companion the perfect food to support their health, whether you have a British Shorthair, a Persian or almost any other breed. Royal Canin also offers specific foods for kittens and older cats, and for cats with specific dietary requirements. So, not only are you saving money by only buying food your cat will love, you’re also helping them to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You can find Royal Canin at specialist stores, pet shops and vets.
