Frequently asked questions
How many grams of Royal Canin Kitten does a 4 months old Indian Native / Indie Kitten need per day?+
A growing kitten Indian Native / Indie Kitten at 1.2 kg with high activity needs approximately 42 g of Royal Canin Kitten per day, split across 3 meals. Your pet's exact number depends on weight, age, activity, and body condition — use the calculator above.
How is the daily portion calculated?+
We use the AAFCO/NRC-approved Resting Energy Requirement (RER) formula: RER = 70 × (body weight in kg)^0.75. That's then multiplied by a life-stage multiplier (2-3× for puppies / kittens) and an activity multiplier (0.9-1.4). Finally we divide by the kibble's kcal per gram to get the exact daily grams.
How often should I feed my 4 months old Indian Native / Indie Kitten?+
Puppies and kittens under 6 months should be fed 3-4 small meals a day. From 6-12 months, drop to 3 meals. After 12 months, transition to 2 meals/day adult food over 7-10 days.
When do I switch my Indian Native / Indie Kitten from Royal Canin Kitten to adult food?+
Most breeds transition at 12 months. Small breeds (like Pomeranians, Pugs, Indie small) can start earlier at 9-10 months. Giant breeds (Great Dane, Saint Bernard) stay on puppy food until 18-24 months to protect their joints. Transition slowly over 7-10 days.
What if my Indian Native / Indie Kitten is overweight or underweight?+
Set the "Body condition" selector accordingly — the calculator automatically applies a 25 % calorie deficit for obese pets and a 15 % surplus for underweight pets. Reassess weight every 2 weeks and reduce/increase from there.
Should I switch kibble brands often?+
No — sudden brand changes cause GI upset. If you must switch, do it over 7-10 days: 25 % new + 75 % old for 3 days, then 50/50 for 3 days, then 75/25, then 100 %. Sensitive stomachs need a slower 14-day transition.
