No coat means a furnace of a metabolism. This feeds it.
A Sphynx has no coat to hold heat in, so he burns energy continuously just staying warm. That's why he feels hot to the touch, why he seeks out laps and radiators, and why he eats considerably more than a cat his size has any right to.
This is a calorie-dense food built for that. Fat sits at 23% — the highest in the Royal Canin cat range — with 33% protein to hold muscle on a frame that's entirely visible. Skin gets particular attention, because on a hairless cat it's exposed, prone to oiliness and blackheads, and there's nothing to disguise a problem: omega-6 at 46.7 g/kg and omega-3 at 10.5 g/kg, of which 4 g/kg is EPA and DHA, support the skin barrier directly. Borage oil and marigold extract add further support. The kibble is triangular, shaped for a jaw that grips differently from a typical cat's.
Dehydrated poultry protein, animal fats, rice, vegetable protein isolate (L.I.P. — protein selected for its very high digestibility), maize gluten, vegetable fibres, maize, dehydrated pork protein, hydrolysed animal proteins, wheat, beet pulp, yeasts and parts thereof, fish oil, minerals, dried tomato pulp (source of lycopene), soya oil, fructo-oligo-saccharides, hydrolysed yeast (source of manno-oligo-saccharides), borage oil, marigold extract (source of lutein). Additives (per kg) — Nutritional additives: Vitamin A 32,000 IU · Vitamin D3 900 IU · E1 (Iron) 36 mg · E2 (Iodine) 3.6 mg · E4 (Copper) 11 mg · E5 (Manganese) 47 mg · E6 (Zinc) 140 mg · E8 (Selenium) 0.09 mg · L-carnitine 50 mg · Taurine 2.57 g. Technological additives: Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin 10 g. Preservatives. Antioxidants.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. A Sphynx genuinely needs more food than he looks like he should — don't cut his portions because you can see his ribs; you're meant to. He'll also need bathing every week or two, because the oil that would normally go into a coat has nowhere to go. Keep him warm and out of direct sun; he sunburns. Fresh water, always.

A guide, not a rule — most Sphynx sit at the higher end of their column. The "+ 1 pouch" rows assume one 85 g Royal Canin pouch a day. Split across two meals. Fresh water, always.
