FAQs
At what age should I switch my cat to Sterilised 7+?
This formula is specifically designed for sterilised cats starting at 7 years of age.
Does this food help with hairballs?
While not specifically a hairball formula, the fiber content and kibble texture support overall digestion.
Can I feed this to my non-sterilised senior cat?
This diet is optimized for the metabolic needs of sterilised cats; it is best to consult your vet if your senior cat is not sterilised.
How should I store the 10kg bag to keep it fresh?
Keep the bag in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Consider using an airtight container once opened.
Is the phosphorus content low enough for cats with kidney issues?
The phosphorus content is adapted to support renal function in senior cats, but if your cat has been diagnosed with clinical renal disease, please consult your veterinarian for a prescription therapeutic diet.
Why is protein so high in this senior food?
High-quality protein is essential for senior cats to help them maintain muscle mass as they age, preventing muscle wastage.
Troubleshooting
Cat is reluctant to eat the new food
Mix in a small amount of warm water or wet food topper to enhance the aroma, and ensure the transition period is extended.
Cat is still gaining weight
Re-evaluate the daily serving size against the packaging guidelines and ensure that treats and supplemental snacks are significantly reduced.
Visible signs of digestive upset
Slow down the transition process and monitor if the cat is eating too quickly; consider using a puzzle feeder to encourage slower ingestion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When introducing Royal Canin Sterilised 7+ to your cat, it is recommended to transition slowly over a period of 5-7 days by mixing the new food with their previous diet in increasing increments. Ensure your cat has constant access to fresh, clean water, as hydration is crucial for senior renal health. Store the product in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed properly after each use to maintain kibble crunchiness and nutrient integrity. Consult your veterinarian regarding daily portion sizes based on your cat's exact weight and activity level to achieve the best weight management results.
