Summary

Royal Canin Indoor 7+ is a dry cat food designed for indoor cats aged seven and older.
It focuses on supporting vitality, kidney function, and digestion during the early senior years.
The primary ingredients are maize, dehydrated poultry proteins, barley, and maize flour, with L.I.P. proteins selected for their high digestibility to reduce stool volume and odor.
The formula contains 26.5% crude protein and 13% fat, providing a moderate energy balance suitable for less active senior cats.
Key nutrients include EPA and DHA (0.4%) for joint health, vitamin C and green tea polyphenols for antioxidant support, and a controlled phosphorus level (0.7%) for renal protection.
Digestive health is further enhanced by beet pulp, vegetable fibers, psyllium, and prebiotics like fructo-oligosaccharides.
Glucosamine and hydrolyzed cartilage (source of chondroitin) are included to support joint mobility, alongside antioxidants to support aging immunity.
Crude ash is 7.2%, and moisture content is standard for dry foods, making this a well-rounded option for aging indoor cats with emerging health concerns.

Pros
Expand All
1

Senior-specific formulation

Designed for cats 7+ with antioxidants, EPA/DHA, and moderate phosphorus for kidney, joint, and immune support.
2

Digestibility focus

L.I.P. proteins, beet pulp, and prebiotics improve stool quality and reduce odors in indoor cats.
3

Joint care support

Contains glucosamine and chondroitin to aid in maintaining mobility in aging cats.
4

Renal health support

Phosphorus level (0.7%) and EPA/DHA help protect early-stage renal function.
5

Balanced fat and protein

13% fat and 26.5% protein suit the lower activity level of senior indoor cats.
Cons
Expand All
1

Grain-heavy composition

Maize, wheat, and barley are the primary ingredients, which may not suit grain-sensitive cats.
2

No fresh meat content

It relies on dehydrated and hydrolyzed proteins rather than fresh or whole meat.
3

Ash content

7.2% ash may be high for some cats with chronic kidney disease requiring stricter mineral limits.
4

Limited omega-3 concentration

EPA/DHA is present but only at 0.4%, which may be low for inflammation-prone seniors.
5

Animal fat not specified

Uses “animal fats” without specifying the species source, which may concern ingredient-sensitive pet owners.

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
