My Persian cat won't eat Royal Canin. What other food can I try?

Hi and thanks for your post! Royal Canin makes a very good food for Persians. A few good others are Purina Pro Plan Focus Healthy Metabolism, Wellness Healthy Indulgence Grain Free, and Iams Proactive Health. I hope this helps!

I would recommend choosing a brand of food and sticking with it. Changing food frequently can lead to digestive upset and a picky eater. Royal Canin is a great brand and I would stick with that if possible. Feeding her canned and dry food is ok too. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

I think this is a very good food for treating crystalluria, and there are some differences between this food and urinary foods by other companies like Hill's. One difference that comes to mind is the calorie content - Royal Canin SO tends to be lower in calories than Hill's c/d. You may want to ask your veterinarian about the Royal Canin SO Olfactory attraction food which is supposed to be more palatable for cats, or if Bean really seems to dislike it you could ask about switching to another therapeutic diet. There are no over the counter alternatives that are proven to prevent urinary crystals in cats.

Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Royal Canin is excellent food and I think either the Fit32 or the Adult Persian is just fine. No worries. I would not use another brand. I really like Royal Canin products. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

It looks like you have tried a lot of foods! Some cats are extremely picky. The most palatable high quality brands are Royal Canin, Purina ProPlan and Nutro. You likely need to very slowly transition the diet. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-change-your-cats-food/ You may need an even slower transition. I hope this helps.

Carbs are fine for cats! If Peanut like the Royal Canin Persian food, then give it to him. I have a Persian cat as well, and that's what I feed him. He loves it as well. Keep feeding him the Royal Canin Persian :-)

Royal canin and hills both make wet kitten food in foil pouches and I have had good feedback on the palatability of both of these. Cats can be very fussy eaters and it is not always easy to 'insist' they eat what we try to give them and I would be most concerned that she is getting the right balance of nutrients for kittens to grow and develop and sufficient fluid intake
