What Is Royal Canin Diabetic Cat Dry Food 400g?

If your cat has been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and needs nutritional support to help manage blood sugar levels, Royal Canin Diabetic Cat Dry Food is a complete veterinary prescription diet formulated for diabetic adult cats. It contains a controlled carbohydrate formula, high-quality protein, and a balanced fibre blend to help support stable post-meal blood glucose while maintaining lean muscle mass. Feed this diet only under your veterinarian's guidance.

Who Is This For?

Royal Canin Diabetic Cat Dry Food is commonly recommended for cats that:

• Have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus by a veterinarian
• Require nutritional support to help maintain stable blood glucose levels
• Need a controlled carbohydrate diet alongside insulin therapy
• Are overweight or prone to weight gain while managing diabetes
• Need help maintaining lean muscle during diabetes management
• Require a complete veterinary prescription diet for long-term nutritional support

Life Stage: Adult Cats

Composition – What's In It?

• High-quality protein helps maintain lean muscle mass, which is important for diabetic cats during weight management.
• Controlled carbohydrate formula helps reduce sudden rises in blood glucose after meals.
• Dietary fibre blend slows carbohydrate absorption and helps promote steadier blood sugar levels throughout the day.
• L-Carnitine (an amino acid-like nutrient that helps convert fat into energy) supports healthy fat metabolism while preserving muscle.
• Omega-3 fatty acids help support healthy skin and reduce inflammation.
• Vitamin E and other antioxidants protect cells from oxidative stress and support immune health.
• Balanced vitamins and minerals provide complete daily nutrition while supporting overall wellbeing.

How to Use It

Feed only as directed by your veterinarian. Divide the daily amount into the recommended number of meals, especially if your cat is receiving insulin therapy. Always ensure fresh drinking water is available.

Transitioning to a new food

• Days 1–2: 75% current food + 25% Royal Canin Diabetic
• Days 3–4: 50% current food + 50% Royal Canin Diabetic
• Days 5–6: 25% current food + 75% Royal Canin Diabetic
• Day 7 onwards: 100% Royal Canin Diabetic

A gradual transition helps minimise digestive upset. If your cat develops loose stools or refuses the food, slow the transition and consult your veterinarian.

Feeding Guide

Daily feeding amounts depend on:

• Your cat's body weight
• Body condition score
• Activity level
• Whether your cat is receiving insulin therapy

Always follow the feeding chart on the pack or the feeding quantity recommended by your veterinarian.

Common Questions

• Can diabetic cats eat regular cat food?
  Regular cat food is usually not formulated to support blood glucose management. Cats diagnosed with diabetes should only be fed a diet recommended by their veterinarian.
• Can I feed treats while my cat is on this diet?
  Only if your veterinarian approves them. Extra treats may affect blood sugar control and reduce the effectiveness of the dietary plan.
• Does my cat still need insulin while eating this food?
  In many cases, yes. This diet supports nutritional management but does not replace veterinary treatment. Your veterinarian will decide if insulin doses need adjustment.
• Is Royal Canin Diabetic suitable for lifelong feeding?
  Many diabetic cats remain on this diet long term. Your veterinarian will regularly monitor your cat and recommend whether continued feeding is appropriate.
