Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive Loaf Wet Cat Food Pouches (4–12 Months)

Royal Canin Kitten Food in a soft Instinctive Loaf texture is tailored for kittens aged 4–12 months. The highly palatable gravy-in-jelly format is easy to chew for developing teeth and supports healthy growth with high-quality proteins, balanced vitamins and minerals, plus DHA for brain and vision development.

During the “consolidation phase” of growth, kittens need precise energy and nutrients. This vet-recommended wet cat food helps build natural defences (antioxidants including vitamins E & C) and pairs perfectly with Royal Canin dry kitten food for a complete mixed-feeding routine.
