Help support your kitten’s digestive health with Royal Canin’s Gastrointestinal Kitten Dry Cat Food. This kitty kibble is high fat and calorie content which allows you to feed your little one smaller portions to support his sensitive tummy. And to promote a balance of good bacteria in your kitty’s gut, this recipe contains digestible proteins, prebiotics and a blend of dietary fibers, which also help encourage optimal stool quality. This recipe also features fish oil which is a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA to help soothe the GI tract. And to make your little one’s transition into adult food easier, you can easily rehydrate this kibble with a little warm water.
Key Benefits- Veterinary-exclusive dry cat food for growing kittens with either long-term or short-term digestive sensitivities.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
---|---|---|
Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

Yes, but we'll need them to contact us and provide the full name of the pet's owner after the order is placed. This is so the veterinary clinic can locate your pet's records when we contact them. Email us at vetdiet@chewy.com or call us 24/7 at 1-800-672-4399.

My go-to for upset tummy’s
By Skye on Feb 15, 2021
I foster kittens and medical kittens for a local human society. Almost all of my shelter exposed fosters will have GI issues of some sort and this, plus the Royal Canin Veterinary GI Kitten Canned food, is my go-to food for them when that happens. They love the flavor and it’s soothes their upset tummy’s. That makes foster mom very happy because it also helps minimize weight loss while we get them feeling better!

Lifesaver!!!
By Renee on Nov 6, 2020
This food was a lifesaver. We have an Elf kitten that came to us with straight liquid diarrhea. Two trips to the vet and we found out that he has coronavirus but the vet said that most cats have some strain of coronavirus and it usually causes mild diarrhea. She gave him a probiotic and recommended GI food. I put him on a sensitive stomach food and it resulted in more diarrhea. I found this food on chewy and after three days he was pooping once a day with less stink and by the four days he had hard, brown lincoln logs. Give it a try if you have a kitten with a sensitive GI. It's worth the money if you already are emotionally and financially invested in your pet.

Kitten eats is all
By veto on Dec 11, 2020
Our boys get canned in the morning and kibble the rest of the day. The kitten loves this stuff. It seems to have helped with his soft stools.

New Kitten vomited several times eating this food
By Sapphy on Nov 27, 2020
Not sure WHY my kitten with the sensitive digestion eating for the first 2 times ONLY. She vomited numerous times. I want my money BACK! Horrible product!

A great food!
By cattreereview on Nov 27, 2020
It helps to resolve any GI issues my cats have had. They love both the wet and the dry food. It is my favorite food for kittens.

Love this food
By Lindsay on Aug 7, 2020
This kitten food is amazing. My kittens love it but it doesn't help with all tummy problems so if your kitten is suffering from diarrhea this may not work for you very well. This should be used with a probiotic to have even better results
