Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive Wet Cat Food Pouch

Kittens instinctively select food with the right macro balance for their developmental needs. Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive is calibrated to match this preferred Macro Nutritional Profile, resulting in consistent acceptance and adequate intake during the demanding growth phase.

The soft chunks in gravy provide an ideal texture for developing mouths and teeth, while the gravy adds essential moisture for cats with a naturally low thirst drive. A scientifically proven complex with vitamins E and C supports the immune transition, and DHA supports brain and cognitive development.

Available in 85 g single-serve pouches, this formula pairs with Royal Canin Kitten dry food for a mixed feeding approach that combines nutritional variety, enhanced hydration and textural enrichment for growing kittens.

• Soft texture for baby teeth: Optimal chunk size, texture & taste for growing kittens.

What does Macro Nutritional Profile mean?

Macro Nutritional Profile means Royal Canin matches the balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrate that cats instinctively prefer. This helps support better acceptance and more consistent feeding behaviour.

Should I feed wet food only or combine with dry?

Royal Canin recommends a mixed feeding approach combining wet and dry food.

• Wet food provides additional hydration.
• Wet food adds textural variety.
• Dry food supports dental health.
• Dry food provides kibble enrichment.

What sizes are available?

Kitten Instinctive wet food is available in 85 g pouches and 12x85 g boxes at Canine & Co.

Why is hydration so important for kittens?

Cats evolved as desert animals with a naturally low thirst drive, so they often do not drink enough water from a bowl alone. Wet food helps provide moisture within the meal itself, supporting kidney function and urinary health from an early age.
