(90)
Royal Canin Gastrointestinal is a veterinary-exclusive dry cat food for adult cats with long- or short-term digestive sensitivities
-
Promotes digestive health and optimal stool quality with highly digestible proteins and prebiotics
High calorie content allows cats to eat small meal portions and still get the nutrition they need
Helps manage GI health with omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, and a blend of soluble and insoluble fibers
Supports urinary health with the exclusive S/O Index, which creates an environment unfavorable to crystal formation in the bladder
-
You’ve tried everything to help with your cat's GI issues, whether those are vomiting, diarrhea, or lack of appetite. And while bland homemade diets are often used for digestive upsets, your cat could be missing some key nutrients to help them fully recover. But with the help of your veterinarian and Royal Canin, there’s not just hope—there can be a true difference.
This palatable, digestible GI cat food supports digestive health with high fat and calorie content, so you can feed your cat small portions to support their sensitive stomach. This also helps underweight cats or cats who are eating less get the calories they need. Prebiotics help maintain the balance of good bacteria in the gut. A blend of dietary fibers supports healthy digestion for optimal stool quality. Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, from fish oil help nourish and soothe the GI tract. And the exclusive S/O Index supports urinary health by creating an environment unfavorable to crystal formation in the bladder. Ask your veterinarian about pairing this diet with Royal Canin Gastrointestinal wet cat food as well as complementing with Gastrointestinal cat treats.

15 Nov 2019A year of constipation resolved in two days.
It's really incredible. My poor baby has been so constipated for so long, seriously resolved in 2 days of just adding 1-2 T into his diet daily (Fiber Response version). I have been so worried about him. Yesterday I watch him do his business, just hoping so badly that I'd see good results. At first it was all hard round pellets again, and he was struggling. I was so upset. He then got out and went to the other litter box. Oh? Another 2 hard pellets, but then low and behold, a perfect stool! I was seriously cheering! I have not seen perfect stool from him in so long. This food works! Today was all perfect too. I think we have it solved now. Fingers crossed. I am so thankful.
I was one of those people who wanted him on only low/no carbohydrate, grain free foods, because we are told now a days how food with carbs and fiber don't belong in a cats diet. Yeah well, my poor baby suffered so long because I listened to these people and articles. Maybe it works for some cats, but other cats need a little extra help in the way of properly formulated fiber, which this food does. I didn't want to have to rely on medication, or things like pumpkin (won't eat it) to make him go. All wet food didn't work either. The wet food he loves and only really wants to eat is Fancy Feast pate, and that still made him constipated! Other wet foods, a couple of them with grains in them work, but he is so picky with his wet food, that it isn't a viable option because he doesn't consistently eat them. I tried other dry foods, they all seem to make him constipated, except for cheap dry food, but that makes him puke every week. Not a viable option either. I even tried raw food, and that just made him not able to go for days. I had to give him so many egg yolks and hairball remedy just to get him to eliminate. SCARY. Seriously, if your cat is constipated, try this food out. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for not following the grain free trend.
The only reason I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because he isn't totally thrilled with it. First day he ate it like hes never eaten before and loved it, but now he could take it or leave it. I crush up a couple temptation cat treats on it to get him to eat it, so far that works. I have yet to actually try mixing it into his current dry food, I may give that a try. For real, try this food.

13 Nov 2019Siamese has won lifelong vomiting battle.
I bought this after my vet recommended it for my Siamese. She eats and then throws up shortly afterwards and has don't this since she was a kitten. Taking care of my Cloe is very important to me, she's 13. I don't want her to spend the rest of her years getting sick, being frail and skinny. This food is really helping! It helps everyone involved, the cat feels better, and so do we now that our carpet will stay clean!

30 Oct 2019Both of my boys love it!
One of my Bengals,Watson, has IBD and this food along with his medication has been a key to his recovery. Watson has not once gotten sick from this food and loves the taste. We have since been able to ween him off of medication and this food helped his digestive system get back on track. My other Bengal
Boy, Crick, does not have any digestive issues, but he is on the same food for ease and he also loves it. Both of their coats look fantastic. It is a very reliable and honest product!

I bought this many times. It was recommended by my vet. My cat loves it! Does the job it’s supposed to.

22 Oct 2019Relieved my kitty’s colitis
I tried this high fiber food for my kitty when she came down with colitis. She has been eating it for 8 years with few incidents of returning symptoms. She’s probably getting in to the other cats food when those happen! I recommend that you try this before going to medications for your kitty.

Chompers has been eating this food for 7 years now. It controls his constipation beautifully!
