Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal Puppy Dry Dog Food

Ever since our Berner suffered from a bout of worms around 10weeks, his GI track could not stand the food we brought home with us from the Breeder. We kept having to switch back to a bland diet and he wasn’t getting the nutrients he needed. Our vet recommended this food and we seriously couldn’t be more grateful. After a few months of success we tried to switch back like others have but the messy stools returned (poor guy) so we switched right back again and will be paying the exorbitant price tag from here on out. It’s worth it make sure he’s comfortable. Thankful that every 4 weeks this gets delivered quickly!

Our poor golden puppy had an extremely bad reaction to a popular brand of dog food, almost not making it at only 9 weeks old. We tried many different food options and it wasn’t until our vet prescribed us Royal Canin GI food that our little boy started getting back on track. He fell extremely behind schedule on growth development and slowly started catching up once we got his GI system back in order. Now at 5 months, we keep this food on deck at all times to use in place of a bland diet when he starts to have a GI issue flare up. We truly don’t think if he would be thriving like he is had we not been prescribed this food. And more props to Chewy for not only providing the opportunity to purchase Our poor golden puppy had an extremely bad reaction to a popular brand of dog food, almost not making it at only 9 weeks old.

I love this food. My puppy was having a lot of stomach issues & diarrhea. The animal hospital recommended this food for my pup and it’s worked well. No more bloody stool or diarrhea. The smell is strong but it’s not unbearable. My dachshund also has sensitive skin & it hasn’t messed with his skin or coat!

My pup, Luna was having some GI issues, so her Vet suggested I switch to Royal Canin GI for Puppies. The odor of the food was terrible, but I wasn’t the one eating it, and Luna seemed to like it. I kept mixing it with her old dog food to ease her into eating it. Once she was on it full time, her breath and body had a horrible fishy smell. I keep her very clean, with weekly baths, teeth brushing, and dental bones, plus she’s only a puppy. She should not stink like this. The more she eats this food, the stronger the odor gets. I can smell her from several feet away. I’m done! It’s making me gag so badly. No matter how clean we keep her, we can’t get rid of that smell.

This brand came as a recommendation from my vet. My now 7mth old boxer had spent an entire month sick (gross poop I couldn't even pick up). He had been on, since I brought him home, another brand of dog food + it was going fine - or so I thought. This month was brutal! He was so sick, was skin and bones + every test the vet ran came back negative. The only thing left was the food he had been on for months. I ordered the smaller bag (along with a probiotic, which I'll review next) and within 48hrs my boy was back to normal! He absolutely loves this food. It is very teeny tiny pieces but he has had no issues. His movements are normal and I can pick them up with ease now. Fingers crossed This brand came as a recommendation from my vet.

This food is NOT cheap but I honestly am so thrilled w how well he has done, how great his coat looks and that he is finally gaining the weight he lost! I don't care what it costs. … more

My puppy was having bouts of diarrhea vet suggested this food. I tried it and at first bag my pup loved it. Fast forward order another bag my pup won't go near it. I have to supplement with canned tuna, boiled chicken or sardines to get her near this. Also her skin and coat looked gorgeous before I put her on this vetdiet now shes like a snowstorm of dander and her coat has lost its shine. Luckily Chewy is amazing and refunded the purchase price. I am now on the hunt for a kibble to bring my pups coat and appetite back.

The vet prescribed this after my new puppy had diarrhea since we brought her home and none of the other digestion puppy food helped. she was living off of rice and chicken which she loved but was not giving her the nutrients that she needed. Within 24 hours of using this food her stools started to get formed and they have continued to be healthy looking stools. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five stars is because I would really prefer giving her food with less chemicals. But for right now it has really helped her get the nutrients she needs. We have been on this for 3-4 months.

This food has helped my dog a lot! It was a struggle before we found this food that helped his stools firm up and he is more regular. He likes the food so it is easy to use. Chewy made it easy to order even with the vet prescription. The food was not available locally and Chewy delivered quickly so that was also nice. My puppy was 5 months when he started having loose stools and it took some trials to find something that would work so this was great.

My golden retriever puppy has not done well on any food but this. After months and months and months of loose stool to diarrhea, Truman finally had solid stools on this formula. After a couple of months of doing well on it we transitioned to a sensitive stomach puppy food over the course of a month (because my poor bank account). He was good for a while but then the diarrhea returned. We are now going back on this food. It would get 5 stars if it weren’t for the high price tag. But. Anything for my boy’s health.

We struggled with GI issues for 6 months (along with parasites). The fortiflora probiotic seemed to make no difference and then thankfully my vet suggested this. Never been more relieved/at ease that my puppy isn’t in pain or extreme discomfort!
