The Transition to Adulthood: Post-Sterilisation Care

Sterilisation is a vital milestone in a young cat’s life, but it triggers significant hormonal changes. For a kitten sterilised early, these changes often lead to a decreased energy requirement while simultaneously increasing the appetite. Without the right nutritional intervention, this can lead to rapid weight gain before they even reach their first birthday.

Royal Canin Sterilised in Gravy is a specialized solution designed to bridge this gap. It provides the high-quality protein needed for continued growth while strictly controlling calorie intake. This ensures your young companion stays lean, active, and healthy during their most formative months.

Why Your Kitten Sterilised Needs Specific Nutrition

Managing the Metabolic Shift

Once a kitten is neutered or spayed, their metabolism slows down. A standard growth formula may be too calorie-dense, leading to excess fat deposits. By choosing a kitten sterilised specific wet food, you are providing a moderate fat level (only 2.6%) that aligns with their new metabolic reality.

Supporting Urinary Health

Sterilised cats can be more prone to urinary issues. This formula is crafted with a carefully considered balance of minerals. These nutrients work together to support the health of your cat’s urinary system, maintaining an ideal pH balance and preventing the formation of crystals—a common concern for pet parents of neutered males especially.

Key Benefits: Weight, Immunity, and Taste

When you serve Royal Canin Sterilised in Gravy, you are delivering a triple-action health boost:

• Weight Maintenance: Specially formulated to help maintain the ideal weight of sterilised cats through controlled energy content.

• Healthy Urinary System: A balanced mineral profile that protects the bladder and kidneys.

• Instinctive Preference: Thin slices in a savory gravy that match the optimal macro-nutritional profile naturally preferred by felines.

The Science of Instinctive Preference

A Meal Your Kitten Sterilised Will Crave

One of the biggest challenges for pet parents is finding a food that is both healthy and appetizing. Royal Canin uses advanced sensory science to ensure this formula is instinctively preferred. By matching the specific ratio of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates that cats are biologically driven to seek, we ensure that your kitten sterilised receives their nutrients without a struggle at the food bowl.

High Moisture for Hydration

Because this is a wet food formula, it has a high moisture content of 81%. This is essential for cats, who often have a low thirst drive. Increased water intake through wet food is a proven way to further support urinary health and ensure your growing cat stays properly hydrated.

Composition and Nutritional Analysis

Our ingredients are selected for maximum digestibility and nutrient density:

• Protein (9%): Supports muscle development without excess calories.

• Vitamin D3 (90 IU/kg): Crucial for bone health during the final stages of kitten growth.

• Clinoptilolite: A specific clay mineral that helps support digestive health and stool quality.
