About Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Health For Cats

Acute or chronic?  If your Veterinarian thinks your pet has a gastrointestinal issue, they may classify it as acute or chronic.  Acute conditions appear suddenly and deteriorate rapidly.  Chronic conditions develop over time and may worsen gradually.

Worried About Your Cat’s Digestion?

Your cat’s gastrointestinal (GI) system helps support the rest of the body by properly digesting food and making sure to extract the nutrients needed for overall health. Your veterinarian is the expert on your cat, so you should always consult with this trusted advisor to find the best gastrointestinal health solutions and management options for your pet.

Know Your Cat’s GI System

  1. Mouth: where ingestion of hair and formation of hairballs can occur, due to frequent grooming.
  2. Stomach: the first part of the GI tract, where inflamation may lead to vomitting.
  3. Small Intestine and Pancreas: where the small intestine is responsible for absorption of nutrients within the diet and the pancreas aids in digestion.
  4. Large Colon (Tranverse): which is responsible for forming stool.
  5. Large Colon (Descending): which is responsible for forming stool; any alteration to this process may lead to constipation or diarrhea.
  6. Rectum: where stool leaves the body

How Nutrition Can Help

Your veterinarian may recommend a Royal Canin GI formula that is

Rich in nutrients and easily digestible

Balanced for good digestion, with a blend of fibers and prebiotics to support digestive health

Highly palatable to encourage eating, even when appetite is decreased due to gastrointestinal upset

Find The Perfect Balance

With a dry and wet feeding routine, dry food supports positive oral health while wet food supports healthy hydration.

What is the difference in calories between this moderate calorie food and the regular gastro intestinal food

Answer by ChewyMar 08, 2019
This formula contains 299 calories per cup and the Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal Fiber Response Dry Cat Food contains 361 calories per cup.

can you please explain what the S/O index is all about ?

Answer by ChewyJan 28, 2019
The Royal Canin Urinary S/O Index® is designed to support urinary health and creates an environment unfavorable to crystal formation in the bladder. This lowers the risk of crystal formation using RSS methodology for bladder health and helps dissolve pure struvite stones and helps prevent calcium oxalate stones.

Hello, What is the fiber content of this food? Is this the highest fiber food that you offer?

Answer by ChewyMar 15, 2020
This food has a fiber content of 7.3%.

Hole in bag

This is a prescription food so it is the only thing she can eat. We had apparently had 2 autoships set up so I did not open this box when it arrived. Today I opened and the box of litter had punctured a hole in the cat food bag. You all are awesome and this is the first problem we have had.

Not Good for My Cat

The Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal Dry Food made my cat's stool very loose when he ate it, and he rarely at it. He did care for it too much.

A very kitty friendly GI food that puts in the work. Our girl was puking up weekly with generic food from the grocery store, which was no bueno. The combination of this product, a GI wet food, and duralactin has been the perfect combo for our girls cholesterol/triglycerides to go down AND stop the weekly puking.

Still likes it

Good prescription food options are limited for my 13 year old cat but she’s been eating this for years and still enjoys it. We call it “kitty crack”
