13 Mar 2023Newer formula causes diarrhea
A few years ago I would have given this food 5 stars, but like Isabel100's review from a year ago, something has changed with this food. Going back over a year, we started getting the occasional bag where within 2 days of starting it, my cats would be vomiting regularly and have explosive diarrhea. I'd have that bag exchanged for a new one, and if the new one happened to be an older bag, their issues would clear up immediately. But now all we get are bags that cause the diarrhea. We ended up having to mix it with another gastro food to add some firmness, and the mix worked for awhile...until the most recent bag gave them diarrhea even when mixed with the other food. This is so frustrating as every other food causes constipation - we NEED the old food recipe back!!!

09 Mar 2023Bring back old formula please!
I agree with all the other owners who say this formula no longer works for their cat. Royal Canin please bring back the old formula of GI Fiber Response. My cat with IBD/possible mega colon almost died after the formula change (vet bills to prove this.) He lost 5 pounds before the vet saw the formula had been changed. He is now on prednisolone daily (never before the change.) I have tried other brands of RX GI dry foods and none have worked. I don't know what to do after my last bag of the old formula run out. Royal Canin bring back the old formula please, I would pay a higher price for the old formula, it would be less expensive than bringing the cat to the vet weekly.

20 Jan 2023There is something different about this product
We have been using this product for years and it has really helped our cat. With the last bag, as others have mentioned, something has changed. The quantity and quality of his bowel movements are different (ie, smaller, harder, less frequent). It is very upsetting, because the previous formulation worked perfectly. If this is a new formula, it is awful. Why change something that is working?

20 Dec 2022Latest bag does not work like it previously did
I completely agree with the other reviewer 'AlPal'. My cats have been eating this for years and it helped them have regular poops. As soon as we started the latest bag that they got, the results were not the same at all and they were constipated. I had to double the amount I gave them, which helped in a few days, but that is not sustainable because they are gaining weight! Not sure what to do.

08 Nov 2022The new formula doesn't help
Our cat has been on the gastro dry food for several years. As soon as we put her on it, her poop was amazing. We bought the new formula bag about a month ago, and it does not work anymore. Her poops are once again tiny, hard, and not full. We changed nothing else in her diet, and the problem was almost immediate after the new bag. I have no idea what to do that might be better.

11 Sep 2022Food works, but goes bad quickly
This food works great for my kitty’s tummy issues and we’ve been using it since 2020. However, it seems something changed this year because the food is going bad before we can finish the bag. This is causing considerable issues because she’s getting sick and I’m throwing half the bag away. I wish there was a smaller bag, even more expensive per pound, so that I’m not being wasteful and making my kitty sick.

18 Jan 2022Product is not the same
This product had a makeover within the last year, the new bags now present “fiber response” in a colored strip. However, in the new bags the food has most definitely changed as well. I have compared the two kibble and you can see a color change along with a size change, it’s subtle but def not the same . Obviously this wouldn’t be a problem but what’s not subtle is that both of our cats will barely touch the stuff, and as soon as they are on it for a week or two they both develop yellow diarrhea to the point where one of my cats became incontinent. It’s not a fluke either, our vet still had the old bags in stock while Chewy had the new bag in stock. Month to month from bag to bag it’s the same every time, new bag= diarrhea, no appetite, weight loss old bag= normal stools, hungry and happy kitties. It’s truly a shame because the original formula was truly a life saver for our kitty with severe ibs, now it looks like we are back to the drawing board since it seems they have completely changed to the new bags and most likely new formula.
