Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning
Royal Canin and Tyga offer two different approaches to the Australian cat food market. Royal Canin runs roughly 260 formulas worldwide organised by breed, life stage and condition, with a substantial veterinary prescription range. Tyga builds each recipe on 87 to 91 percent named meat and organs with functional whole-food extras like green lipped mussel, tuna and shiitake. The two brands differ in several ways beyond the one point highlighted here.
Royal Canin is largely supplied to Australia from Mars' Gimje plant in South Korea, opened in 2018 and undergoing a KRW 210 billion expansion through 2025.
Tyga is made in Sydney from Australian meat, gently cooked at 85 degrees C and frozen into 170g pouches, across four recipes. It develops its recipes with board-certified veterinary nutritionists and cooks gently at 85 degrees C rather than serving raw or extruding.
