Royal Canin Dental Care Dry Cat Food

Dental disease affects the majority of adult cats, but most resist brushing. Dental Care uses an innovative kibble texture that maintains structural integrity as teeth penetrate, creating a brushing effect that physically displaces plaque before it mineralises into tartar.

Clinical studies show up to 59% reduction in tartar formation within 28 days of exclusive feeding. This passive dental hygiene occurs naturally at every meal, requiring no owner effort. L.I.P. proteins, psyllium and prebiotics maintain complete nutritional balance.

Good oral health supports broader systemic health by reducing bacteria entering the bloodstream. Available in 400 g, 1.5 kg and 8 kg bags.

How does the kibble actually clean teeth?

Royal Canin Dental Care kibble (V19641) has a specific texture that does not shatter on contact like regular kibble. As your cat's tooth penetrates the kibble, the textured surface makes sustained contact with the enamel, physically scraping away soft plaque before it can harden into tartar.

Is 59% tartar reduction really achievable through food alone?

Yes. Royal Canin clinical studies demonstrate up to 59% reduction in tartar formation within 28 days of exclusive feeding. The key is daily, consistent feeding so that mechanical cleaning occurs at every meal.

Can this replace dental check-ups at the vet?

No. Dental Care reduces new tartar formation but cannot remove existing calcified tartar. Cats with existing dental disease need veterinary dental treatment.

• Reduces new tartar formation
• Cannot remove existing calcified tartar
• Helps maintain oral health between professional cleanings

Is this a complete food or just a dental supplement?

Dental Care is a complete, balanced daily diet with L.I.P. proteins, prebiotics and full nutritional balance. The dental cleaning action is an integrated feature of a food your cat eats every day, not an add-on treat.
