Feline Gastrointestinal Fiber Response Dry Cat Food

Long but detailed review** We struggled with constipation for our 15 year old cat for 2 years. Multiple vet visits, enemas, we knew her cycle of when she would get constipated and how often she would poop. Every 3 days which is not good. Constipation episode every 25 days. We tried every method known to help. Pumpkin, psyllium husk, slippery elm, full wet food diet with additional water for 8 months straight, multiple water fountains, the herbal medicine from the brand with tons of reviews. Every natural food, every vet food, a lot of consumer *better ingredient* food. Even miralax (peg30) and the vet prescribed lactulose. I think we have gone through 30 different brands of food. Our kitty means the world to us and we would do anything for her. We actually had her on this fiber response food as a partial kibble feed with added water and mainly wet food for 6 months. That didn’t work either. There is a secret to using this food, it’s risky with constipation but you just have to trust it. This has to be the main food, our cat is 10-11lbs, means 1/2 a cup of this food daily, do not add water! The psyllium husk in this food will make them drink on their own more water then you can add to the food. Adding wet food actually makes this worse, if you need to add wet food do it only a couple times with small amounts. The RC digestive wet food is not the same formula and does not have the same effect as this dry food. You may not notice right away with the transition and have a constipation episode in the first few weeks but keep going, it will level out and you will not see any more episodes. Our cat would sleep all day because she was in pain, she now runs around and poops every day and has the best time. She’s so energetic and constantly hanging out with us. It’s amazing what this formula does. Please do not change it, our cats lives depend on it. *Side note, our other cat would vomit constantly from hairballs every 3 days. We have tried multiple solutions for her too but luckily the psyllium husk in this food actually brought her hair balls down to once a month or less. Psyllium is the secret ingredient here but on its own it does not have the same effect, they have a good formula that works. Please do not give your cat psyllium powder directly to avoid the ingredients in this food, there is a way to give them psyllium but if your not careful it will hurt them more. This food is controlled, tested and proven, just use it. They love the taste also.

I have been using this for my 2 cats for several years. The last 4 bags I bought are not helping them anymore. Something has changed in the formula. This is very upsetting. Noticed the change around August 2023.

I bought Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Fiber cat dry food four days ago for my cat who was prescribed this food from the vet. On the second day of eating this food, he has been having soft stools) diarrhea. My cat is not eating as much and has lost one pound by constantly going to the litter box with a bowel movement. Is this normal? We ill my cat gain the weight he has lost?

10 yr old cat got diagnosed with megacolon and fatty liver disiese. It was a 3 month battle with many stressful nights amd many vet visits including 2 enemas that were unsuccessful amd 1 manual extraction that was successful. Switched to Royal Canine Gastrointestinal Dry food and Tiki Cat Tuna and Pumpkin wet food. Along with Cisapride and Miralax. This combination has saved his life and he has been doing great the last month. Poops every 1 to 2 days now. We ate truly blessed

My cat had been chronically constipated and presented with balding and low energy for the first ten years of her life. We thought she was allergic to grain and we're nervous about putting her on this food. Well she's 21 now, been on this food for eleven years, gained proper weight and has the energy of a cat half her age. My other cats also love this food, but it gives one of them some diarrhea because he absolutely doesn't need the help. Tempting him to eat something else is tricky because he just likes this one a lot. However I do have one request. PLEASE make smaller bags! My one little cat can't finish the whole bag before it goes stale. I hate wasting food but I can tell when she's not enjoying it anymore.

This dry food has cured my senior cat of his constant diarrhea and he loves it!

I have been using RC Feline Fiber Response for our Irving. He was a kitten rescue with the congenital birth defect Atresia Ani (no butt hole). We had the surgery, successfully, but he still ended up with megacolon as a complication. Our surgeon highly recommended this food in combination with daily prescribed doses of Cisapride (for intestinal motility) and Lactulose (stool softener). He is about to turn 3 years old, and this food is the only food that he can tolerate without problems!

This food worked like a miracle on my cat for the last few years, but the latest bag the food is a different shape and I'm presuming a different formula since it is no longer working. At least WARN people before you change things! My poor cat is back to being miserable

My two cats like this food. They're on it because one of them has to be (the vet prescribed it.) However I really HATE this 8 pound bag nonsense. It takes forever for both my cats to go through a bag because they eat canned food too and sometimes, near the end of the bag, they won't eat it anymore and I have to assume this dry food went stale. I store it in airtight containers but this still happens anyways. This food is WAY too expensive to have to be throwing some of it out at the end of every bag. WHY WHY WHY won't you make 4 pound bags of this so I can buy new and fresh bags more often?

This worked like a miracle for my cat for years, but suddenly makes him very sick. I thought we got a bad batch so bought a second bag, but both bags made him vomit and have diarrhea. He’s had three vet visits because of this and no new food works like the past formula, everything else causes constipation. He’s now on prednisone and lactulose daily to try to make a new food work, but it looks like he’s going to need a fourth enema since this formula change.
