When your cat first gains a little weight, it can often stick around or even lead to further weight gain, which can have health issues. Maintaining an ideal weight as well as strong muscles and bones is essential in supporting your cat's overall good health. Royal Canin Light Weight Care is made with a special recipe that supports feline weight loss. This complete food is proven to offer a reduced calorie intake. The high protein and low fat contents also help to reduce weight and support healthy muscle mass. Natural nutritious fibres and psyllium increase the full feeling and reduce excessive feeding in a natural way.
