DID YOU KNOW?
Obesity can be a significant health problem.

Sterilization and lack of exercise may lead to weight gain in adult cats.  Excess weight can contribute to significant health problems.  Keeping your cat fit and trim will keep him healthy and happy.

The Royal Canin Cat Encyclopedia

Slim 38™ Formula
For Adult Cats Who Are Prone to Obesity
  • Sterilization and lack of exercise can contribute to weight gain in the adult cat.  The best solution is the appropriate diet.
  • L-carnitine in association with a higher protein level may contribute to the mobilization of fat reserves without muscle loss.
  • Fat contributes two and one-half more calories per volume than protein.

Key Features:
 

  • L-CARNITINE & HIGH PROTEIN
    To Lose Fat & Maintain Muscle

    Physiological Concern: Preservation of Muscle Mass During Weight Loss - To ensure weight loss, the cat must expend more energy (consuming fat reserves) to metabolize protein, which has a lower yield by the cells.

    Innovative Solution: L-carnitine & High Protein - L-carnitine in association with a higher protein level contributes to the utilization of fat reserves without muscle loss.
  • OPTIMAL CALORIE CONTENT
    To Help Reach Optimal Weight

    Physiological Concern: Reduced Energy - Sterilization, lack of exercise, and/or overfeeding may cause weight gain in adult cats, consequently, making them more sedentary.  When excess weight is less than 30% over optimum weight, the cat is considered overweight.  When excess weight is more than 30% over optimum weight, the cat is considered obese.  Excessive weight can attribute to other related pathologies such as bone, joint and skeletal problems, diabetes, reproductive disorders, skin problems, increased risk under anesthesia, intolerance to hot temperatures, etc.

    Innovative Solution: Optimal Calorie Count (Limited Energy) - The number one objective is to satisfy the cat's appetite, while limiting the amount of energy ingested.  It is absolutely essential to weigh each cat regularly to follow its weight curve properly.  Weight loss should be slow and ideally represent 1% of the cat's total weight loss per week.
  • HAIRBALL TRANSIT SYSTEM
    Balance of Fibers to Help Facilitate Evacuation of Hairballs

    Physiological Concern: Prone to Hairballs - Because overweight cats are more sedentary, more time is devoted to grooming, which increases the ingestion of hairballs.

    Innovative Solution: Hairball Transit System™ (Fiber Enrichment) - Balanced fermentable and non-fermentable fibers facilitate the swift evacuation of hairballs.

          Physiological Concern: Risk of Struvite Stones

         
Innovative Solution: Urine-Acidified Diet

Slim 38™ Formula
Recommended Feeding Guide

When changing your pet's diet, gradually mix food over a 5-7 day period, increasing daily the amount of new food added so that 100% of the new food will be provided to the pet by day seven.

Food may be served right out of the bag or moistened with water, if desired.  You may wish to leave a daily portion of dry cat food out and available at all times so that cats may feed themselves.  Always remember to provide your pet with clean, fresh water at all times.  For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.

This is only a guide.  Optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, temperament, activity level and environment.
