Customer review: "I have two cats. My Maine Coon loves it and it’s the only food he will eat. My other cat, a Persian also likes it and prefers this food to her own. They both are in a great physical shape with healthy and shiny coats. This is a complete food that protects the joints of these cats that are known to have problems due to their large size."

Royal Canin Maine Coon Adult Cat Food has an adapted texture, with large meaty pieces in gravy, especially suited for Maine Coons. It provides concentrated energy that's rich in protein and essential fatty acids. Give one pouch of this Royal Canin wet cat food per day, along with kibble.

Customer review: "I have a Maine Coon called Lyra, whoever courtesy-called me the other day may remember me. Anyway, Lyra, is a very fussy girl so I could only order one kind of raw meat which was Chicken and Turkey, she loves the food, it’s much easier for me going with Bella & Duke as they tailor their raw food for Lyra's specific breed, with her being a massive ball of fluff, she needs certain additives which I had to add manually before coming to Bella & Duke."

Customer review: "I bought this to try as an alternative to more expensive brands, and one of my two Maines is very fussy, but she laps this up, so it can't be bad at all. It does have a very mushy, odd texture, but it doesn't bother the cats in the slightest, so therefore I can only recommend trying it."

Customer review: "Five-year-old cat with hip dysplasia began suffering badly with mobility in one hip, to the point of being unable to walk further than a few metres, climb up stairs or access his cat tree. On vet's instructions, we began a conservative approach to treatment (leaving hip joint surgery for further down the road) and began administering anti-inflammatory medication, YuMOVE supplementation, targeted exercises and adaptations to the home environment.

"It is now more than three months from initial diagnosis. Cat has reduced medication use from every day to just a third of the original dose only every fourth day with no return of symptoms; this is very positive given cats' tendency towards kidney problems."
