Royal CaninFeline Health Nutrition Kitten Thin Slices in Gravy Canned Cat Food, 3 oz., Count of 24

My little kitten loves the stuff and she's a picky eater too. I just mixed it with the Royal canin dry food for kittens and she went to town.

My kitten LOVES this! He's not a fan of eating paté, so the finely sliced pieces in this are perfect for him. I'm not a fan in general of wet cat food, but I've learned it's important for hydration. This brand was recommended by his Vet, and I am very conscious to prevent common health issues, so I feel good giving him this a couple times a week.

I don’t know what it is but this is the only wet kitten food that my kittens will always eat. I’ve tried other brands and they’d somewhat try them but eventually just walk to the bowl and turn their noses up at it but not with this food.

A really wonderful shopping experience

I’m happy that I can buy this here. Where I live you can’t find it in any stores. I don’t have pet stores in my area.

Too expensive

We got introduced to the Royal Canin brand with my prior cat, who needed their single-source protein version to deal with some stomach sensitivity issues. Now we have a new kitten and we knew we'd be sticking with Royal Canin. Our choice was reinforced when I found the site catinfo.org, which has a great document listing all the major brands and their real nutritional breakdown (as opposed to the deliberately vague "guaranteed analysis" numbers on the labels); Royal Canin's kitten foods were among the best you could get and are in almost exactly the ideal ratio of protein / fat / carbs.Do note that this is one of TWO varieties of Royal Canin's "Kitten Instinctive" food; the other is called "Loaf in Sauce", and in my opinion that other variety is a much poorer option once you compare the ingredients. This "Thin Slices" version has chicken, chicken liver, and pork as the first three ingredients, with by-products and wheat not showing up until the fifth or sixth ingredient. In contrast, the "Loaf in Sauce" version starts right off with chicken by-products as its first ingredient, wheat not far behind, and actual chicken meat / organ meat isn't mentioned until much further down the list. This is doubly surprising because Royal Canin's first-stage kitten food (for kitties under 4 months) is ALSO called "Loaf in Sauce" and has the same ingredient set / priority as this "Thin Slices" second-stage food.So enough about the nutrition and ingredients. What matters in the end is whether kitty actually likes it or not. Well, my boy Kiba definitely loves this food. He eagerly waits for his bowl to be filled and dives right in once I set it down, even when it's the last serving from the can and still cold from the fridge. We'll definitely be sticking with this food (as well as RC's stage-2 kitten kibble; he's currently eating 1 can of the wet per day and about 3/8 cup of the kibble) until he's an adult and ready to transition to the next stage of food (although we may just keep him on this forever, given that the adult food skews more to carbs and has less protein and fat).And definitely buy here on Amazon; the flats they ship are nowhere near their expiration date, and the price is lower than I've found at Petco or other pet supply stores.

We adopted a 5 week old abandoned kitten from our local vet and they were feeding him canned Royal Canin kitten instinctive. Though pricey it was manageable. His orange coat was silky and he was thriving. A month later I rescued 2 other kittens from a shelter. Honestly, 3 kittens take up a lot of space in our smaller home. And trying to afford this food for 3 ravenous kittens at $1.39 a can was a big hit to our limited budget. They were scarfing up 5 cans a day and begging for more. Out of necessity to our budget, I tried putting them on Friskies consoling myself with the thinking that at least they have a good home and are fed...Wow, big mistake! Within hours the awful smell coming from the litter box was overwhelming. My husband was not pleased and I was scooping the clumpable litter from the box 2-3 times a day. After a week and their loose stools not getting anybetter better I went back to Royal Cannin. I've just adjusted our budget so that our kitten clan can eat as well as their human folk. I pay more in food but worth it in my opinion since my house doesn't reak, the kittens love it, and their coats are like silk. I've been able to save alittle money by getting a big plate and mixing 2 cans of kitten instinctive wet with 1/4-1/3 cup kitten instictive dry and sectioning it in 3 piles so each can have their section. I do this in the morning and then again at night and have the Royal Canin dry left out during the day for snacking. I also save money in litter since it is easier to clean with firm stools (not runny like some lower quality foods produce).
