Royal Canin Cat Food:
Beyond the development of a basic nutritional profile, we believe that it is a true knowledge of the cat that allows us to bring you a superior food. Every cat is an individual - whether because of her age, her lifestyle, her condition or even her breed - and, therefore, requires special nutrition in order to stay at peak health. That's why we make fourteen different formulas including Persian, Siamese and Maine Coon - with one that's just right for your cat.

Corn is extremely palatable, it provides the dog with carbohydrates, protein, and fiber and is an excellent source of linoleic acid, vitamin A and beta-carotene.

Royal Canin Cat Food:
We include vitamin C in our diets as part of an antioxidant cocktail. It serves to help recycle vitamin E (another potent antioxidant). We have found that by adding vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein, and taurine that we were able to increase the immune response to vaccinations in puppies fed this complex (measured by antibody titers). Response was not only higher, but it occurred more quickly, helping to decrease the period of "Immunity gap". Additionally, we found that immunity lasted longer in dogs eating food with this complex that contained vitamin C.

Royal Canin Cat Food:
Taurine may play a preventive role in cardiovascular disorders through its simultaneous action on the muscle’s ability to contract, on the integrity of the heart’s cells, and on the heartbeat.

Royal Canin Cat Food:
Omega 3 fatty acids play numerous roles within the animal's body. They are involved in inhibiting inflammation, improving vision, decreasing the formation of clots in blood vessels, improving the learning ability of young animals, and stimulating immune responsiveness. Good sources of omega 3 fatty acids include flax and fish oils. Good sources of omega 6 fatty acids include corn, poultry and chicken fats.

Royal Canin Cat Food:
Recent research has shown that both omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids together can significantly effect the health of the animal. The supplementation of diets with large amounts of omega 3 fatty acids alone is not necessarily beneficial to the animal. In fact, this may actually have some negative effects on the animal. What is important is the balance of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids.

Royal Canin Cat Food:
Most studies conducted in humans and animals demonstrate the correct ratio should be between 2:1 and 10:1. In recent dogs studies, it has been demonstrated that to obtain healthy shiny hair coats and to manage inflammation due to skin allergies and irritations, a ratio of 5:1 to 10:1 (omega 6:omega 3) is necessary. Pet foods containing optimal ratios of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids can prove to be most beneficial for the pet especially in cases of stress such as illness, racing, and aging.
