Before neutering, a cat's metabolism is adjusted to a diet with an almost constant energy content. The cat eats only as much as it needs to meet its energy requirements. After neutering, this natural regulatory process is disrupted - the cat eats more than it needs, which can quickly lead to overweight. After neutering, the energy requirements of kittens decrease. Royal Canin Kitten Sterilised can help counteract excessive weight gain due to its adjusted fat content and contribute to harmonious growth with a balanced nutrient and mineral content (proteins, calcium, phosphorus). Mixed feeding - a smart combination: The combination of wet and dry food brings together the positive attributes of both food forms. Wet food is particularly palatable for cats, provides essential nutrients, and promotes kidney and urinary tract health with its high moisture content. A 100 g portion pouch of wet food already covers half of the daily fluid requirement. Dry food aligns with a cat's natural behavior of consuming small portions throughout the day. In addition to maintaining dental health, another advantage of dry food is its high concentration of nutrients such as protein or fiber. Numerous studies confirm: The combination of wet and dry food supports both the nature and health of cats.
