Dense, cobby and heavy-boned. Built to stay that way.
A British Shorthair is heavy for her size — dense muscle over a broad, low frame, the kind of cat you notice when you pick her up. That build puts steady load on joints, and the breed is also predisposed to a heart condition (HCM), so this food works on both.
Protein at 34% with a moderate 19% fat holds the dense muscle mass the breed is known for without letting her tip over into overweight, which she will if allowed. Glucosamine, chondroitin and EPA/DHA at 3.5 g/kg support bones and joints; taurine at 2.6 g/kg alongside the EPA/DHA supports cardiac function, and L-carnitine at 200 mg/kg helps her metabolise fat. A precise mineral balance looks after the urinary tract. The kibble is large and curved, which forces her to chew rather than swallow whole — useful for a breed that tends to eat with more enthusiasm than care, and it does some quiet work on oral hygiene. For purebred British Shorthairs over twelve months.

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. British Shorthairs put on weight easily and hide it well under a dense coat — go by feel, not by eye. Measure her food; don't free-feed. Brush weekly, more in spring when the undercoat comes out. Worth screening the breed for HCM and PKD. Fresh water, always.

A guide, not a rule. Read from her weight — Royal Canin publishes this table in weight bands and the amounts step up across each band, so the rows below give the figure at each end. The "+ 1 pouch" rows assume one 85 g Royal Canin pouch a day alongside the dry. Most British Shorthairs are indoor cats and belong in the low-energy rows. Split across two meals. Fresh water, always.
