Product Change Notice:       Royal Canin Ageing 12+ Dry Cat Food

From late January - February 2026 Royal Canin Ageing 12+  dry and wet cat food products will be replaced by a new and improved Royal Canin Ageing 11+ range as part of Royal Canin's ongoing research and developments in senior pet nutrition. 

  • As cats enter their senior years, their lifestyle and health needs begin to change. Recognising these changes early can help maintain their well-being.  The new Royal Canin Ageing 11+ diet is tailored to the needs of cats aged 11 and over and features the HealthyAge7™ Complex, which is specifically formulated to help maintain seven key dimensions of health and vitality.

Current Product: Royal Canin Ageing 12+ Dry Cat Food- 85g
New Product:  Royal Canin Ageing 11+ Dry Cat Food - 85g

Estimated Arrival:
The updated Ageing 11+ range is due to start arriving to retailers from early February 2026 (estimated dates as of December 2025) Our supplier has advised there may be a temporary out of stock situation of the current range before the replacement Ageing 11+ diets arrive in New Zealand.

Feeding Transitions:
When changing up your pet’s food, it’s best to take things slow. A gradual transition can help avoid digestive upsets.
A 7-10 day feeding transition is recommended to support pets through any adjustments to their diet.

Existing Autodeliver Customers:
Rest assured, you don't need to do anything - our team will ensure your Autodeliver is updated to the replacement products once the existing versions have sold through. There are no changes to pricing, or product sizes with this update.

If you have any questions regarding this change, the status of our current stock available or your current Autodeliver subscription, please contact our Customer Care team.

Description:Description:

Royal Canin® Senior Ageing 12+ is suitable for cats over 12 years of age and is specially formulated with the nutritional needs of senior cats like yours in mind. This food contains highly palatable kibble with a double texture (crunchy outside, soft inside) that helps to stimulate your senior cat's general appetite. 

Royal Canin® Senior Ageing 12+ contains a complex of antioxidants that support senior cats throughout the ageing process. Thanks to a moderate phosphorus level, Royal Canin® Senior Ageing 12+ also helps to support healthy kidney function, which is highly beneficial in senior cats. 

To cater to each cat's individual preferences, Royal Canin® Senior Ageing 12+ is also available as wet food in either a delicious gravy or succulent jelly. If you're considering mixed feeding, simply follow our feeding guidelines to ensure your cat gets an accurate amount of both wet and dry food for optimal benefit.

  • Healthy ageing complex: A complex of antioxidants including lycopene and Omega- 3 fatty acids supports the body through the consequences of ageing.
  • Renal health: Helps support renal health thanks to a moderate phosphorus level.
  • Urinary health: Formulated to help maintain the health of an adult cat’s urinary system.

  • "Improved overall condition "
    Posted byLisa Footeon2nd Dec 2025

    I was recommended this product for my elderly cat, who was starting to get very thin. Since starting this diet her weight has increased to a much better level and she appears healthier overall. Her fur is thicker and glossier and she seems more active. She seems to enjoy the flavour of these biscuits and keeps them down well without puking.

  • "Best dry food for elderly cats"
    Posted byDorinda Joneson12th Aug 2024

    I have purchased this for two elderly cats - 14 plus years. They both went off other dry foods and were losing weight. They love this product as it is similar to the treats they have and have been eating well.

  • "RC Aging 12+ - Best food ever"
    Posted bySharonon27th Jul 2023

    My old Persian Beau came to me in poor health. I got him veterinary attention, got his health back, but realised he would benefit from a more age appropriate diet. His eating prior to making the change was fussy and picky. Since starting him on RC Aginv 12+, he has a healthy appetite and he eats with gusto. He has both wet sachets and biscuits, but tends to be a biscuit addict so he gets meat first. When he finishes it, he then gets his biscuits. Best food ever for an aging cat.

  • "Canin 12+"

    My cat Charlotte is a very fussy 13 year old Bengal who I have been having trouble finding a dry food she will eat...well now I have found it and she loves it ...fingers crossed she keeps on loving it..m

  • "A staple for the elder cats."
    Posted byLesley Barlowon3rd Oct 2022

    This is obviously tasty, and being Royal Canin I know its the best of foods. The shape is easy to crunch and not hard on elderly pusses who may have fewer teeth.
