Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before introducing this food, consult your veterinarian to determine the appropriate daily caloric intake for your cat's specific body condition score. When switching diets, it is recommended to transition over 5-7 days by gradually increasing the ratio of Royal Canin Expert Neutered Balance to your previous food. Store the pouches in a cool, dry place. Once a pouch is opened, it should be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 24 hours if necessary. Always provide access to fresh, clean water to support the urinary tract benefits of the S/O index.
