Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive Jelly Wet Cat Food Pouches (4–12 Months)
Royal Canin Kitten Food in a soft Instinctive Jelly texture is tailored for kittens aged 4–12 months. The highly palatable gravy-in-jelly format is easy to chew for developing teeth and supports healthy growth with high-quality proteins, balanced vitamins and minerals, plus DHA for brain and vision development.
During the “consolidation phase” of growth, kittens need precise energy and nutrients. This vet-recommended wet cat food helps build natural defences (antioxidants including vitamins E & C) and pairs perfectly with Royal Canin dry kitten food for a complete mixed-feeding routine.
