summarizeEditor's Summary

I was on a mission to find the perfect cat food for my finicky British Shorthair, and I'm thrilled to report that Royal Canin's Big Cat Food has been a total game-changer. With its unique blend of nutrients and easy-to-digest formula, my cat's digestive issues have all but disappeared. The kibble is substantial, and the packaging is a hit with my cat – she loves the blue packs almost as much as the food itself. The build quality is seriously impressive, and the price is very reasonable. I've been feeding her this food for a few weeks now, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. My cat's coat is shinier, her energy levels are up, and she's even gained a bit of weight – all good signs. I'm so glad I made the switch, and I highly recommend Royal Canin's Big Cat Food to any cat owner looking for a high-quality, value-for-money option that's easy to use and offers great customer support.

I've had my fair share of trying out new cat food for my British Shorthair, and before this, she was eating Hill's Science Plan for sensitive stomachs, but she was getting a bit picky about it. I also tried Royal Canin for a while, which is designed for spayed/neutered cats, but I had to switch it up due to issues with digestion. To be honest, I was starting to think I'd have to try every cat food under the sun to find one that agreed with her.

I decided to give Royal Canin British Shorthair a try, and I'm glad I did. It's not always easy to please my Brit, but so far, she's been enjoying this new food. I've been feeding her the blue-pack version, and she seems to love the packaging almost as much as she loves the food itself.

One thing I noticed right off the bat is that the 400g packs don't have a zip lock, which makes it a bit tricky to store. I ended up using a clip to keep it closed, but the medium-sized packs do come with a zipper. It's not a huge deal, but it's something to keep in mind if you're planning on buying these packs.Royal Canin British Shorthair is specifically designed to address common health issues in the breed, such as joint problems and weight gain, which can put a strain on the heart. I was a bit skeptical at first, but after doing some research, I realized that this food really does have some unique benefits for my cat.

The formula for Royal Canin British Shorthair supports muscle tone, bone and joint health, heart function, and urinary health in British Shorthair cats.

The expiration date is conveniently located at the bottom of the pack, which is a nice touch. It's always a good idea to check the expiration date before feeding your cat, and Royal Canin makes it easy to do so.

Ingredients:

I was surprised to find some pretty interesting and unique components in the composition of this cat food. Chicken and rice take center stage, but I'm not sure of the exact percentage ratio. I did some research, and it seems like the exact ratio is a trade secret. But what I can tell you is that this food is made with high-quality ingredients that are designed to meet the specific needs of British Shorthairs.

The feeding guidelines are listed on a table, based on the cat's weight. But to be honest, my 6 kg cat doesn't eat the recommended amount. I've found that she prefers a bit less food, and I've been able to adjust the serving size accordingly. It's always a good idea to consult with your vet before making any changes to your cat's diet, but in my case, it's worked out perfectly.

And now, the most interesting and unusual part - the granules. They're massive, unlike any I've seen before. Usually, they're small and round, or occasionally shaped like a little animal. But these are huge, like dog food. They're light-colored, with a lot of loose powder on them, and even get a bit damp when you pour them into the bowl. The powder is left behind in the bowl afterwards. It's definitely a unique texture, but my cat seems to love it.

I have to say, the 55g serving size in the photo looked about right for my cat. But she just couldn't handle it, not even the first time, and when the biscuits got stale, she naturally asked for a new batch. I've been feeding her 40g servings, and it's been a real advantage - the smaller pack will last for 10 days. I was hesitant to get the larger pack because I worry about the food going stale if it's left open for too long, and this is a wet food to begin with.

Luckily, she's not the kind of cat who gorges herself, but she does have a habit of cleaning her bowl completely before getting upset and causing a mess for others to clean. So, I always measure out her portion carefully in grams to make sure she doesn't overeat. Here, I've cut it back to 40g, and it's been a real advantage - the smaller pack will last for 10 days. I was hesitant to get the larger pack because I worry about the food going stale if it's left open for too long, and this is a wet food to begin with.

Key specs from the official site:

The adapted granule size is designed for British Shorthair cats, with a shape and size that makes it easy to grasp and chew, while also helping to maintain oral health through the mechanical cleaning effect of chewing.

My cat isn't too fussy about this food, but she does prefer it fresh - if there's leftover food in the bowl, she'll wait for a new batch. She's not as picky with other foods, though. I've been feeding her this food for a while now, and she seems to be enjoying it. She really likes the texture of the granules, crunching away with a satisfying sound that carries all around the apartment, and then scattering the crumbs everywhere.

She's eating this food just fine, not begging at the table, and drinking more water. Her litter box habits are still normal, and she's still active and playful. No allergic reactions so far, and as long as she doesn't start rejecting it, I'll keep feeding her this food. Maybe it's a good idea to choose a food based on your cat's breed after all.
