Furry PI's verdict

The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Royal Canin Ragdoll Adult. A lower-quality protein leads and grains crowd the list. To be fair, no artificial colours or preservatives on the ingredient list. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

  • Chicken by-product meal — a lower-quality ingredient — leads, and grains — corn, wheat and wheat gluten — dominate the rest of the list.
  • A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
  • A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

  • No artificial colours or preservatives on the ingredient list.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
