Full details
Royal Canin Diabetic Thin Slices in Gravy is a specialized veterinary-exclusive diet formulated for adult cats diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus. It is ideal for cat owners working closely with their veterinarians to manage blood glucose levels through precise nutritional control. The primary benefit of this formula is its ability to support glycemic regulation and maintain muscle mass, though it requires strict adherence to a veterinary-prescribed feeding regimen and may not be suitable for cats without specific diabetic health requirements.

FAQs
Can I feed this to my healthy cat?
No, this is a veterinary diet specifically formulated for cats with Diabetes Mellitus and is not intended for healthy adult cats.
Do I need a prescription to buy this?
While regulations vary by region, this is a veterinary-exclusive diet and should only be used under the recommendation and supervision of your veterinarian.
How should I store the pouches?
Keep unopened pouches in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate any unused portion of an opened pouch and use it within 24 hours.
Can I use this for mixed feeding?
Yes, but you must ask your veterinarian for the specific quantities of wet and dry food to ensure your cat receives the correct daily caloric balance.
Why is protein level so important in this food?
Diabetic cats are prone to muscle wasting. The high protein content helps maintain lean muscle mass while the cat is managing weight and glucose levels.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the new food
Try warming the food slightly to release aromas or mixing in a very small amount of their previous food, provided your vet agrees.
Cat is losing weight too rapidly
Consult your veterinarian immediately to adjust caloric intake; rapid weight loss can be dangerous for diabetic cats.
Irregular blood glucose readings
Verify that feeding times are consistent and that no unauthorized treats or table scraps are being consumed.
