Product description
Royal Canin Gastrointestinal High Energy dry cat food is palatable, digestible GI cat food that 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. A combination of highly digestible proteins and prebiotics helps 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.

We fed our kitty who has IBD a competitor's food for many years. It just wasn't cutting it anymore after a few changes to the formula. This was recommended and our kitty is doing so well on this diet. He even likes it much better!

31 Oct 2018Excellent Choice For Breeds Prone To Constipation
Our vet put one of our bobtail cats on this food and her health improved immediately. All of our bobtail breeds, our Maine Coons, and our Norwegian Forest Cat are very healthy on this food.

30 Oct 2018Good foods for a sensitive stomach
My cat was vomiting for 2 days so we took her to a vet. He prescribed us antibiotics and recommended Royal Canin Veterinary Diet. So she eats it since then. No complaints so far, no GI tract problem, no diarrhea.

30 Oct 2018Life changing!
I bought this food a couple of months ago after my veterinarian recommended it after seeing a photo of my cats bowl movement. I have been fighting this issue with my Persian since a kitten and she is 13 years old today. I have tried a few different foods and been given metrodizole but still no luck until this food! This product has not only been life changing for my cat and for me but she even seems happier and healthier. I have not had any issues with her BM's since I have switched. I just wish I would have started this food a lot sooner!!!

30 Oct 2018Tasty crunchies!
My boy Wesley loves these crunches! When the vet told me that he had to be on rx food I was very worried that he would refuse it. But in fact he asks for it! Thank you for making a dry food that is good for my boy's IBD.
