Royal Canin

✅ Decades of research and feeding trials

"Well researched, science backed brand with decades of experience" — owners say if it's working, don't change a thing.

✅ Best-in-class therapeutic diets

Urinary SO and Ultamino are described as the difference between a managed cat and "repeated ER vets, a PU surgery, potentially losing him."

✅ Cats genuinely thrive on it

"Some of the best, most nutritionally complete food" — owners would feed it exclusively if budget allowed.

⚠️ Painfully expensive

The wet food in particular drives owners to ask for cheaper alternatives — Pro Plan, Purina One and Fancy Feast get suggested.

⚠️ Prescription lines go out of stock

Ultamino was "out of stock everywhere for weeks," leaving owners of GI-sensitive cats anxious and following for restocks.

⚠️ Lingering 'vets get kickbacks' suspicion

Newcomers wonder if vets push it for money; the community largely debunks this, but the doubt keeps resurfacing.
