Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Puppy Dry Dog Food is a palatable, digestible puppy food that supports digestive health with high fat and calorie content, so you can feed your growing dog small portions to support his sensitive stomach.

Ask your veterinarian about the right Royal Canin Wet Dog Food to complement your puppy’s diet.

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. 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% |

Works immediately
By Diana on Sep 28, 2021
My 9 month old yorkie had bloody diarrhea and was given a bland diet as he was recovering. But as we transitioned him back to his regular kibble his stool got softer and stayed soft (not pickup texture - had to rinse with a hose every time). Our vet recommended the GI kibble. His stool was a lot better (pickup texture no residue). I do half GI and half regular royal canin kibble. And his stool is just right.

Life saver!
By samiam912 on Jul 14, 2021
I may be writing this prematurely since my dog has only been on it for 24 hours, but it’s already made the biggest difference. I have a 17 week old lab puppy with an incredibly sensitive stomach. We’ve struggled with soft stools since the day we got her from 8 weeks. We’ve had her on Hill’s Science Diet large breed puppy food, chicken and rice and antibiotics from the vet- anything we could to get her solid, but had no luck. The vet prescribed it to us last week and we just started her on it (no transition, switched directly to the new food). She already has solid stools, and so much more energy! She really seems to enjoy the food also. It’s pricey, but for the results, very worth it.

Excellent puppy food!
By Katie on Jul 16, 2021
I don’t typically write product reviews but our 9 month old large mixed breed puppy has been struggling with appetite loss and loose stool for several months and nothing seemed to help, no matter how many vet visits we made. I decided to give this food a try (though had hesitation because of the price). Let me tell you, within two days our puppy has healthy stool again and scarfs down this food at feeding time. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone struggling with similar issues and will continue to order this food for our pup.

Fantastic Food for a Puppy with an upset tummy!
By Julie on Jul 2, 2021
This kibble is amazing! Our 4 month old standard poodle went through an awful period of GI distress and after a week of the bland diet (boiled chicken and rice) she had not improved enough so our vet recommended this kibble to make sure she was getting all of the nutrients and calories a growing pup needs. After about 24 hours on this she's back to normal and we're easing her into her previous puppy kibble from the breeder. She LOVES this kibble and we plan to continue to use it as high value treats for training. We would keep her on it if it wasn't so pricey but so happy to have this as an option if she ever has GI issues again. Highly recommend!

Excellent company

It works for our dog.
By TuckTuck on Jul 4, 2021
Not being a fan of prescription diets, I vowed I would never use one. Then we got our new puppy. He had diarrhea from day one - going 6 times a day. This progressed to bloody diarrhea and vomiting. We did lots of tests and eventually my vet recommended this. His tummy problems are 95% resolved. I read once that the best dog food for a dog is one that he/she does well on. This food fits the bill.

Golden Retriever
By Maxsimilion on Jul 10, 2021
This food is amazing for my golden retriever. He was having stomach issues and once we changed to the new food it did miracles for him. I will continue buying this dog food until the veterinarian requests to change it to another one but I would like to continue buying the same brand of food.

chewy offers a great price
By best on Jul 2, 2021
My puppy is going to turn one this month and 2 orders arrived. He always struggled with food and would fluctuate in weight. I started him on this food and has been doing great. 1 was by accident and when requested chewy a refund they returned it and will now be donating a bag of this food to the shelter 5 minutes away from my house.
