Recommended For: This wet food is formulated specifically for mature indoor cats between 7 and 12 years old — the stage when energy needs shift and kidneys benefit from extra support. It's an especially good fit for senior cats who are becoming pickier eaters, since the thin-slices-in-gravy texture and instinctive protein-fat-carb ratio are designed to appeal even to cats who've grown selective about food.

Key Ingredient Benefits: The recipe's adapted phosphorus levels help ease the workload on aging kidneys — one of the most common concerns in senior cats — without requiring a full prescription diet. Highly digestible proteins mean more of what she eats is actually absorbed, which matters more as digestion naturally becomes less efficient with age. An exclusive antioxidant complex, tailored specifically for senior indoor cats, supports overall immune resilience during a stage of life when the immune system typically needs more help than it did in her younger years.

Feeding & Vet Tips: Serve at room temperature for the best aroma and palatability — many senior cats respond to smell more than texture when appetite starts to soften. This wet food pairs well with Royal Canin dry formulas for mixed feeding, which also helps increase overall water intake, something senior cats often need more encouragement toward. As with any dietary change for an aging cat, introduce gradually over 5–7 days, and mention any noticeable change in her appetite, thirst or litter box habits to your veterinarian — these can be early signs worth tracking rather than dismissing as "just getting older." If your cat has diagnosed kidney disease, ask your vet whether this formula fits alongside any prescription diet already in place, since needs vary by individual bloodwork and disease stage.

Great for senior cats

I highly recommend this product to anyone who has a senior kitty. My cat is 14 years old and I was having a hard time finding food that not only was nutritious for her but also something that she would like. This definitely won the battle of the wet foods. I had tried 7 other different brands and this one came in 1st on multiple attempts. I haven't seen any other foods that cater to senior cats of 12+ of age. My kitty is having a hard time keeping her weight on, hopefully this will help her gain some back.Runner ups were: Acana and Orijen.I hope this information helps anyone else having the struggle of finding adequate food for their senior companion.

Horrible packaging by Amazon

The item is great. But the way Anazon packaged it was horrible. Both boxes were torn open, one can was damaged.

Cat lived it; no longer available

My older cat loved this food, but evidently Royal Canin quit making it. She will not eat their new canned food for older cats

I’ll definitely be buying this again.

i bought this for my 14 year old cat, and she took to it right away. She can be pretty picky with wet food, especially as she’s gotten older, but she really liked the thin slices and gravy in this one. The texture seems easy for her to eat, and I like that it’s made specifically for senior cats.The portion size is just right for a meal or to split between feedings, and it’s been a nice addition to her routine. It’s always a relief finding something an older cat will actually eat without wasting it. I’ll definitely be buying this again.

No loose stools.

The only cat food my senior feline could eat without having diarrhea, even the high cost prescription food my vet prescribed.

Thumbs Up!

My adult cats (ages 12 and 13) like this food because of the gravy. I feed them a combination of Royal Canin and Purina One Indoor Advantage Senior 7+ Wet Cat Food. Their TRUE love is Purina Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers, but I had to switch them to senior food for their health.

My cat loves this and he seems much better after eating it. He is 17 years old. But it is expensive.

Likes the food loves the gravy

My 15 year old kitty has hyperthyroidism and has been losing weight so I decided to try this food to help her gain and also with other age related issues. She is a longhair cat and has stopped grooming so I thought this may help her with joint pain.She likes it and eats most of it if I give it her a half can at a time. If I give her the whole can she laps up the gravy and eats about half the solids . I read other reviews that mentioned this so I hope this helps.

My ragdoll with a sensitive stomach doesn't throw it up

This has been good for my 15 year old cat with a sensitive stomach. I first ordered it from Chewy. The 6-pack I got from Chewy of this exact can was more meaty than this order I recently placed with Amazon. I ordered 2 12-packs from Amazon, and they're ALL very watery - more juice than meat. The gravy flies out of the can when I pop the lid, and it goes all over the place. I've just ordered 2 12-packs from Chewy. Exact same as product on Amazon. It arrived in 1 day. Opened a can from Chewy. Yep, more meat than gravy, higher quality. I'm looking at the Chewy can and the Amazon can. They have the same numbers - nothing that indicates the Amazon batch is an inferior batch or "knock-off." However the Amazon expiration date is 11 Feb 2025 - 13 months before the Chewy can's expiration date of 9 March 2026. This is a great cat food. It's the first one my cat has not vomited up. I will continue buying it, but from Chewy only from now on. They get the highest quality Royal Canin. Amazon should check their source for their Royal Canin because it's not worth the price for mostly gravy and very little meat.

Cat enjoys the food, packaging needs to be rethought

Bought from this brand multiple times and had next to no issues, until recently. My senior cat does enjoy this food, and frequently asks for more after just eating some! However, there have been some serious issues with the packaging as of late. My last few delivers arrived with multiple damaged cans in each box, ruining the packaging and spilling the innards over the other cans. Had this only happened one time or infrequently I would not be complaining. However, factoring in the damaged product along with the price of the food and the fact that it has happened in back to back purchases now has caused me to rethink if I will continue to use this brand going forward.

Pricier than popular store brands but SO worth it

My senior absolutely loves this food. She recently turned 12 last month, she was 9 when I adopted her. She is by far the pickiest eater I’ve encountered thus far. At first I was feeding her Sheba as it was the only wet food she would touch and is a step up from friskies, which was given to her when she was in the shelter. From there it’s been trial and error, she has severe allergies, stomatitis, and no teeth. Our veterinarian recommend the prescription hills science diet but I wasn’t trying to dish out $70 on a 12 pack of food that she most likely won’t touch. She did also mention the royal canine for sensitive digestive systems so I ended up going and picking up a few different cans to “test” her on and this is the only one she’ll touch. Her skin and fur feel and look great. She’s also managed to put on some actual weight within the small period of time that she’s been eating this food. She’s already of small stature but she was 7.5lbs when I adopted her and I’ve only managed to get her up to 9.0lbs but she’s been at a steady 8-8.8lbs for a few months. I can definitely tell that she’s gaining some weight, not a drastic amount but enough to where she actually looks healthy and well fed. I did read that Sheba was actually taken off the shelves at petco because it lacks in nutritional value that’s recommended for healthy cats so it could also be that she wasn’t receiving the proper about of nutrients. Who knows... I’m just glad we found something that we both like, she looks great and seems as though she feels great and she loves the taste. That’s a win win in my book.

Low Phosphorus & a canned food my dry food loving cat will finally eat - Update - Won't touch it ...

My cat has been eating Royal Canin for more than a year now after I was told I needed to reduce the amount of phosphorus in his food. Previously he preferred dry food which isn't so great apparently for cat kidneys. I started experimenting with the lowest phosphorus canned foods and worked my way through the list until we got to Royal Canin 12+. He loves it. He seems to love the taste and cleans his bowl. I usually top off the can with water before I feed him and it makes a little more gravy. The food has a thick gravy but the can is packed full of mostly food unlike cheaper foods which are mostly gravy with bits of food in it. From my research, this food has 159 mg phosphorus per 100 kcal which is one of the lowest you can find without going to a veterinary diet. I also like it because it has a good amount of protein and a moderate amount of fat and carbohydrates. Switching from dry to canned seemed difficult until we tried this. He switched easily with minimal complaints. The food is obviously more expensive than a lot of foods out there, but there is very little waste. I used to throw out a lot of uneaten cat food before. Not with this food. He cleans his bowl almost always. It also contains glucosamine for joint health which is great. If you've ever tried to feed the powdered glucosamine to a cat then you know how much they like that. I totally recommend this food. It's more expensive but then again, it's a lot cheaper than a veterinary formula. He's been doing great on this food and in more than a year hasn't become bored with it at all. Since being on this food he's stopped throwing up all the time and has stopped crying when he goes to the litter box.Update - After a long and happy relationship of ease and convenience with this cat food my cat sadly suddenly stopped eating it ... right after I got a shipment of four non-returnable cases. I think they've changed the recipe because he's eating the other low phosphorus cat foods I picked up at the store like a champ. If you're looking for a simple way of getting accurate nutrition info on wet cat food just do a web search for cat food phosphorus index. It's the cat info org site. There's a vet out there who has compiled an exhaustive list that includes protein, carbs and fat. Super helpful. Good luck!
