"Royal Canin and Hannah Shaw are bringing this exciting cat education series to consumers across the country in hopes that more pet owners will keep feline health, wellness and nutrition at the top of their minds," said Anthony Wild, Cat Acceleration Director of Royal Canin USA.

More than half of American cats do not receive annual preventive veterinary care¹. As part of Royal Canin's annual Take Your Cat to the Vet campaign, Royal Canin and Hannah Shaw are partnering to raise awareness about the issue and will touch on tips and advice during each episode to help underscore the importance of regular check-ups and establishing a relationship with a veterinarian.
