Royal Canin British Shorthair

Royal Canin British Shorthair food is breed-specific nutrition made for one of the heaviest-boned cats in the pedigree world. This page brings together the adult dry food — stocked in 400g, 2kg, 4kg and 10kg bags — and the 85g British Shorthair Gravy pouches, so you can compare sizes and textures in one place.

The British Shorthair is built low, wide and thickset, and that frame is exactly why weight is the main thing to watch, particularly after desexing. The adult dry formula uses an adapted protein level with L-carnitine to help maintain muscle mass, and it is enriched with taurine, EPA and DHA to help maintain healthy cardiac function — a sensible focus for a breed this solid. The kibble itself is moon-shaped, sized and textured so a short, square muzzle can grasp it and chew it properly instead of swallowing it whole.

On bag size: the 4kg is the one most one-cat households settle on, 400g is best treated as a trial pack, and 10kg only makes sense for multi-cat homes that can seal and store it well. If your cat pushes dry food around the bowl, the Gravy pouches are the easy fix — cylindrical chunks cut for this breed, with a moderate energy level, designed for mixed feeding alongside the dry food rather than replacing it. Pouches come in packs of 12 and 48. Both products are everyday retail formulas, not veterinary diets.
