Thread: Opinions on Royal Canin Maine Coon 31?

Most people who have posted seem to have MCs that like the RC. While we haven't tried it for quite a while, when we did we ended up throwing out many $'s worth of it as none of our MCs would eat much of it. Since it is not as "high quality" as the dry foods they get now, I see no point in trying it again (the dry foods we feed are higher protein and have real chicken as primary ingredients). In my opinion, the RC foods are overpriced for their ingredients; you can get better quality foods for same price range.

The only thing MC-specific about it is the size of the kibble, since most cats would not be able to eat it. Our two boys do love the Science Diet TD, which is supposed to help clean teeth and is very large kibble, but the girls largely won't eat it. Would the RC help keep their teeth cleaner because they have to really crunch it? Hard to say; I have heard mixed info on whether food can help (may scrape some gunk off but also causes particles to get caught between teeth). I would expect the SD TD to do more (it is not intended as the sole food). Interestingly, the Blue Wilderness that is the favorite of our younger boy recently reduced their kibble size, so it is now quite tiny. I thought this would be a problem for a MC male, but he still gobbles it up. Don't think he crunches quite as much, but he eats TD as well every day.
