Let's get started...

Why is Royal Canin Cat Food #1 in Cat Food?

Royal Canin is a French company specializing in dog and cat food, and is considered one of the oldest companies in the field of pet nutrition (it has been on the market for approximately 56 years)!

The company was started by veterinarian Dr. Jean Cathari who was a strong believer in the idea that cat food greatly affects their health!

Other than Royal Canin's long history and positive reviews from cat owners and veterinarians, what makes it the #1 food for cats?

4 Reasons Why Royal Canin Is The Best For Cat Food:

1- Specialization and attention to detail

Instead of Royal Canin making dry food that is suitable for all cat breeds, they make dry food for each breed!

And not only that...

Royal Canin offers food suitable for kittens, food suitable for adult cats, and food suitable for thin cats...

Of course, the most important things they are famous for are products suitable for certain health conditions such as kidney and bladder problems!

2- Scientific research and development

One of the most important features of Royal Canin products over any other type of cat food is that it is made based on scientific research and studies!

For example, in order to produce the first dry dog food specifically for dogs with allergies, they spent 10 years researching !

This is something that makes all cat owners in Egypt and around the world have absolute confidence in Royal Canin products!

3- Balanced nutrition!

Royal Canin cat food is balanced and complete so that cats get all they need without needing to take additional nutritional supplements!

Here we would like to clarify a very important piece of information that is absent from most cat owners in Egypt: Some types of dry food or wet food must be supplemented with nutritional supplements unless you are using Royal Canin!

4- High quality and secondary health benefits

Quality, quality, quality when it comes to Royal Canin food!

Starting from carefully selecting the ingredients, through examining them to ensure that they are suitable for use and free of any harmful substances, to manufacturing them based on a recipe designed after scientific studies and research!

Of course, they found that cats who eat Royal Canin have better immune systems, better digestion, and maintain healthy skin and hair!

These were the 4 main reasons (besides history and positive reviews) why Royal Canin is the best choice for cat food!

The Science Behind Royal Canin Cat Products

How does Royal Canin, for example, make the dry food that you buy?

How come there is Royal Canin for dental health, another type for digestive health, and Royal for bladder health!

How do they do something for small cats, and something for big cats!

According to the official Royal Canin website, these are the steps they are taking to develop one product…

Royal Canin scientists study each breed and each age group in detail to determine the very unique needs of each breed and age group…

Then they make the combination or recipe that they will rely on...

Then they try it and modify it until they produce it!

These steps may take years to produce just one product, but we have simplified it for you!

Why do you care about information like this?

Simply so you understand what's going on inside your pet!

And you can be confident and assured that you are providing your pet with the best thing available!

This is a paragraph from the official Royal Canin website explaining how they guarantee quality…

Before being put on sale, all Royal Canin diets undergo an extensive quality assurance monitoring programme to ensure value and nutritional safety are maintained.
