Question 1

Is it ok to give this regularly ?

Accepted Answer

I am beyond disappointed in Royal Canin! My cats, a hairless Sphinx and a Cornish Rex were doing amazing on the Royal Canin Special 33. The last time I ordered it they sent the sensitive digestion. NOT what I ordered but I went ahead and used it. My formally perfectly healthy cats started chronically puking EVERYWHERE EVERYDAY! So, no, I totally would NOT recommend this food. It's a shame because we loved the Special 33. Muy cats no longer eat Royal Canin and the puking has stopped,thank goodness.

Question 2

What flavor is this?

Accepted Answer

No flavor listed. But I asked my cat and he said it's the flavor cats love! My cat has been eating this for 5 years or longer (and so has my dog when she sneaks in a taste).

Question 3

Is everyone also feeding wet food with the dry, and if so what brand/type?

Accepted Answer

My cat won't touch wet food. He seems picky about texture. He really likes treats, but even those have to be certain textures and flavors: crunchy.I've tried organic and grain free and whatever else new fad has come along - he wouldn't touch them; he prefers Temptations and Friskies Party Mix (though I tried to indulge as many varieties as possible, which he had an allergic reaction to, so we're slowly reintroducing them one flavor at a time.)Our vet said that whatever food he'll eat, if it's working and he's healthy, don't change anything. So, Special 33 it is. I used to mix it with the Royal Canin Preference high protein, but sometimes he'd gorge and then throw up. Special 33 alone (with regular treats) seems to keep him the most happy.For medicine, we have a long pill syringe thing that can deposit the pill in his throat. Liquids, we shoot into his throat. He's pretty cooperative when it comes to meds.

Question 4

What do i do if  my cat doesn't like it or i can't get her to eat it? She is picky about her foods and im afraid she may not eat it after i order it.

Thanks Linda. That was very helpful!

To add context to my question... My cat is 14 yrs old. She recently became a picky eater 1) because she has about 5 teeth left with a degenerative gum disease which makes it difficult to find dry foods she can handle, 2) her stomach has become extremely sensitive due to her age and she won't eat foods she can't tolerate. So to rephrase my question, is this returnable if my cat won't/can't eat it? Or do you (the company/brand) offer samples for sale to avoid wasting? Thank you for your help.
