Furry PI's verdict
Royal Canin Kitten earns its grade honestly. Pork by-products leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — it contains wheat gluten. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.
What's concerning
- Contains wheat gluten, a lower-quality ingredient.
- Several other ingredients on the label raise quality questions — the full flagged list is in the app.
What works
- Pork by-products leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
- A strong share of its calories comes from protein.
- As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
