Happy, Healthy, Senior Cat

Our vet explained that male tabbies often get diabetes as they get older. Thanks to Royal Canin Glycobalance Diet, our 15 year old, Max, is healthy, active, looks and acts ten years younger. I'm looking forward to many more years with our tabby.

Helping my cat stay off insulin!

My cat has been on this food for over a year. It is keeping his sugars under control, keeping him off of insulin. Very happy with this food.

Kitties Love the Taste

I have a very picky diabetic cat. When Jack, the big tuxedo cat, was first diagnosed, my veterinarian suggested I put him on Royal Canin Glycobalance. He will not eat moist food, so I use the dry kibble. Both of my cats absolutely love it. I was so surprised my picky eater would even touch it. I believe it is helping to keep his sugar levels stable. My only wish is that it wasn’t so expensive, or that it came in a bigger bag that was discounted due to quantity. Both my cats are free range eaters, so it gets pretty costly with two cats to feed.

All My Cats Love It!

I bought this product a few months ago for my one diabetic cat. My other 3 cats love the taste and will eat it as well. I only wish it was not so expensive and that you would make a bigger size bag to purchase.

Our cat likes it

Good for helping control his diabetes and our cat, Bob, likes it...he's finicky about his food. And I can get it at our local Pet Smart store.

Bag is too small

The kitties like this food. But putting a maintenance product that many cats will need for the long term in such a tiny bag is ridiculous. I don’t want to have to buy new bags of food every 10 minutes. This should be available in larger bags.

It covers what we need

With a recently diagnosed diabetic cat, this is the option for food that our cats prefer out of the recommended brands. And our vet says it is fine to feed both boys the same food, no matter that only one of them NEEDS it (which is good-trying to separate their feeding would be ugly). However, I have to say that it stinks that it only comes in small bags. I will buy it since the boys like it better; however, if any asked me for my recommendation (which they shouldn't-they should ask their vet), I would recommend the other brand available-at least it comes in bigger bags.
