My Persian was on a 100% wet diet for years but started to become a slow eater. The wet food would end up sitting out for hours before being touched again, and by that time it had gone bad and had to be thrown out. The amount of food and money that was being wasted, as well as the little amount of food my cat was eating, forced me to switch to a dry food. The only problem was that I couldn't find one that didn't make her sick. I tried slowly transitioning her to several premium dry foods without any lucky, but Royal Canin Persian Breed Adult Dry Cat Food worked wonders. She doesn't get sick, what ends up in the litter box doesn't smell atrocious, and she's now back to getting the right amount of food daily.
We have a senior Silver Shaded Chinchilla Persian and she has been eating Royal Canin Persian Dry Cat Food since the day she joined our family as a kitten. The day she joined our family I stopped at the big pet store to pick up a few things for her and just happened to run into the Royal Canin representative. I loved all the benefits of the food for my little one and I wouldn't need to make special trips somewhere to pick it up.Throughout the year we do get her groomed in a lion cut but for the majority part of the time she has her long fur coat on. We hardly ever have to pick up hairballs from spit up and we really believe it is because of this food.Each piece is small and almond shape - which I think she likes that it is dainty. She is very good not to over eat so we free-feed our little one but this 7-pound bag last us close to two months.You can see the food almost has a shine to it from the healthy oils and this only helps with her soft and beautiful coat.
Good quality for my cat
My cat loves this food.
Good quality food, suggested by our vet, and my Persian loves it.
This is a high quality cat food. Apparently, my cat loves it because sometimes he will eat this before he eats his treats!
My Persian cat loves it
A+
My Persian has no issues with it. A bit expensive, but works as intended.
My cats love this food
My Persian cats have been eating this product for years. They devour it.
My cat’s favorite food. I also noticed her fur is more manageable than ever before, which has been a big problem up until now.
Las croquetas favoritas de mi gata persa de 2 años, he notado que es fácil para ella comerlas, su pelaje está cada vez más suave y brilloso, al recoger sus heces he notado que no tiene mucho olor
So, my Persian cat was raised on this food…she loves it and so do my other 2 non-Persian, but long haired cats. My Persian is going on 13 years old, so, I’ve been buying this food for a long time and whoa, it has gone up in price astronomically. Just 4 years ago it was $26.99-$31.99, now it is $45.99. That is outrageous! Even with the subscribe and save, it is so expensive. I know inflation is gauging everyday Americans, but this is ridiculous! I can’t possibly switch her food now, she’s a senior gal!
I give this to mu long haired Siberian cat , It helps with the seasonal changes with shedding normally and giving shine to his fur .. It has also reduced matting for my cat .
Got a bad bag and made my kitties throw up every day. They were also not gobbling it like they normally do. They do go crazy for this food. Switched the food and they’re back to health now. I will be ordering again but it’s just not fun going through it. Maybe it was a delivery issue and the package got messed up I really don’t know but hope the next bag will be good.
This is the food of choice for Burmese cats. We have bred and continue to love a number of Champion Burmese, "The cats with the golden orbs," and placed a number of them in loving homes. They thrive on Royal Canin Persian food. While Persians are long-haired, Burmese have beautiful short, sable colored hair. Burmese are more energetic, almost dog-like as pets, and can fetch, talk to you, etc. But their nutritional needs are the same as Persialns. When we have tried them on other brands of cat foot, or tried them on other Royal Canin foods, they do poorly. Burmese have a higher incidence of urinary tract problems than many breeds, but we have encountered none when they are on either this food or Friskies Cat Food because they both have an optimal level of magnisium and other minerals.Price at Amazon is waaaay better than at a local or chain pet store. We had been buying it at a farm feed store. I only wish Amazon sold it in a larger size as well. But this is a good source.
My Persian enjoys most of Royal Canin dry foods, and this one, ROYAL CANIN BREED HEALTH NUTRITION Persian dry cat food, is by far her most favorite. Well, she is Persian and this product was made for Persian, so it makes sense :)Actually, I don’t like the fact that the first ingredient of this cat food, Royal Canin Persian, is Chicken by-product meal (NOT Chicken), followed by chicken fat, brewers rice, brown rice, corn gluten meal.I tried to feed my cat many other brands’ dry cat foods that have better ingredients, but my picky Persian didn’t like other cat foods at all. So, I’ve kept feeding her Royal Canin almost all her life. Good news is that my 10-year old Persian has been very healthy, implying that Royal Canin dry foods didn’t do any harm to my baby regardless of my worries about the ingredients. (By the way, my cat is much more flexible with can foods, so I can feed her other brands’ can foods without any issue, as a treat. She is very picky with dry foods only, which I find it a little strange.)Another thing I don’t like much (in addition to the first ingredient being chicken by-product meal) is the premium price for the Persian version compared to other varieties.Overall, I am pretty happy with Royal Canin products including this one, because my cat loves them so much more than any other brands.
Much cheaper on Amazon than at the store. Both my Himalayans like it, and trust me, they are very finicky. One of them seems to have become more active, which may be attributed to this food. The one thing that concerns me is the low protein percentage. Of course it may be good for a cat with PKD or other kidney issues (although the latest research is beginning to question the benefits of lower protein), but my cats are only 1 1/2 years old. I balance it with a high-protein food, as I want to make sure they have enough. The cats have also put on a little weight, which they needed. I will have to keep an eye on that, to make sure they don't get fat. I have discussed my qualms with RC reps, and all they could say was that this food and it's composition worked best for Persians.Well, now their second birthday is coming up, and one brother, who will only eat this food (no treats, no nothing) is officially fat, and the other is comfortably chunky. They are now counting calories just like Mom.
I gave this 4 stars, but it's because my kitty loves it so. She's not a Persian, just a garden variety American Shorthair. She has medium hair at places, and may have some exotic in her, but she isn't pedigreed!I got a sample from PetFoodDirect a couple of months ago, and I had barely opened the bag before she was pawing at me to get some. She has been turning her nose up to food lately, so every time she eats something it's a small party. Well, this she liked. She has another bowl of dry food out, and she won't even touch it. But this she eats! She can hardly wait for me to fill her bowl before she starts eating!I am not fond of the ingredients on this, though, 6.8% crude protein is not a high quality cat food. Lots of by-products and carbs, and not what I _want_ to feed my cat. So I mix it with her high quality kibble (another one she likes, but not as much), so she gets some good with the bad. I wish this had been of higher quality, but low quality food is better than no food!ETA: As one of the comments pointed out, I was wrong on the crude protein. The crude protein is 28% and the 6.8% is crude fiber. I maintain the protein is not high enough, and the quality of it is very low grade.
