ROYAL CANIN® Exigent Cat Dry is formulated for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years. A highly palatable diet, specifically designed for adult cats who say no to everything. Energy dense and rich in protein, ROYAL CANIN® Exigent is ideal for adult cats who are picky or only eat a small daily amount, as it helps them maintain a healthy weight.
Royal Canin works with experts in veterinary nutrition to create dietary solutions that support optimal health for cats. We know that many cat owners struggle to find nutrition that their pet will accept. Picky eaters can be hard to please and often reject new food – making it difficult to ensure that their nutritional needs are met.
Based on 4 years of research, ROYAL CANIN® Exigent is our highly palatable formula and provides a complete and balanced diet for picky eaters. Our tailor-made nutrition has been tested and approved by owners of fussy cats*, with 86% satisfied that it addressed their fussy cat’s eating habits. This diet is also suitable for sterilised cats.
To appeal to even the most selective cats, ROYAL CANIN® Exigent is carefully crafted with a precise balance of ingredients, tempting aromas, and tasty kibble texture.
Fussy cats can eat very little throughout the day. To meet their daily nutritional requirements, ROYAL CANIN® Exigent is an energy-dense and high-protein formula. Made with a protein content of 40% and maximised for taste appeal, this complete and balanced diet helps support a healthy weight. ROYAL CANIN® Exigent is formulated to help support and maintain a healthy urinary system.
To improve palatability and mealtime for picky eaters, the Exigent formula combines our 3 former Exigent diets – Savour, Aroma, and Protein into one delicious product: ROYAL CANIN® Exigent.
