Furry PI's verdict

Royal Canin Kitten doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. It contains brewers rice flour. To be fair, chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

  • Contains brewers rice flour, a lower-quality ingredient.
  • Several other ingredients on the label raise quality questions — the full flagged list is in the app.

What works

  • Chicken 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.

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.
