Suitable for kittens from 4 months old, ROYAL CANIN® Kitten food is specially formulated with the nutritional needs of your growing kitten in mind.
The growth stage is a key period for your kitten because its immune system is still developing at a gradual pace. ROYAL CANIN® Kitten food helps to support your kitten's natural defences during this time, thanks to a complex of antioxidants, including vitamins E & C.
Because your kitten's digestive system is in a delicate phase of development, ROYAL CANIN® Kitten has enhanced digestive tolerance thanks to the inclusion of highly digestible protein (L.I.P) plus prebiotics to support digestive health.
For nursing mothers, gestation and kittens under 4 months old, it is recommended to feed Royal Canin Mother & Babycat Dry Cat Food

My cat loves this food, she is happy and her coat is gleaming.
New kitten likes her new food eats it no problem great to know it's a good quality and well balanced.
My kittens love the dry kitten food, it's easy for them to eat and the 10 kilo bag delivered saves me time and money. I highly recommend buying from Pet Direct.
great kitten food - my baby is very healthy. Even my grown-up cats try and steal it - they love it :)
