Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal Fiber Response Dry Cat Food, 8.8-lb bag

I have owned a rescue cat named Siri since 2009. She was adopted as an adult and over time, it was discovered that she was likely hit by a car before being picked up by the shelter. Massive damage had occurred to her left rear leg and pelvis, shortening and warping the bones in the leg and pelvis and creating a narrow pelvic canal. This narrowing caused a serious problem when she began to get constipated to the point of requiring de-obstipation under anesthesia twice. The constipation also led to inappropriate urination due to straining and behavioral issues. I was at my wit's end, having tried a large range of ideas to help her (she won't eat canned food unfortunately) over a couple of years I have owned a rescue cat named Siri since 2009.

This food was suggested to me, and in combination with Miralax daily, she has been regular since 2014. I am incredibly grateful for this food and will stick with it for the long haul, for Siri's sake. She's the coolest cat and I want her to enjoy her life to the max! Bonus of this food is that it must be really palatable, as it seems to be the most popular food in my household of cats and was even used to encourage a very ill cat to eat when all else failed, including canned food and chicken. … more

Cat has been on thyroid nedication and is now 19 and nothing helps. I have stuck with this food feeling it was best along with the lifelong wet fiid Fancy Feast. No cat I have lived with for over 15 years will touch any RX wet food (and I won’t starve a cat to try and solve a diarrhea problem). My cat has gine thru Forte Flora, other probiotics, B12 shots and now it is so bad he is pulling his hair out. I will be switching to Hills Digestive Care because frankly it cannot be mych wirse. I go thru 5 dog training pads a day, cat is miserable and vet us slso frustrated. Wish Royal Canin would take this last bag back.

Max is an older, overweight cat I'm fostering until I can find him his forever home. He gets severely constipated, so his vet prescribed this food. It's not cheap food, so I was delighted to find Chewy carried it and for far, far cheaper than anywhere else and ships it right to my door. Max isn't thrilled with this food (I think it's the taste), but he eats it, and he's only slightly constipated now instead of backed up and blocked. This food does what it's supposed to, hence the four stars. It's probably just Max's personal taste, but I docked a star because he doesn't enjoy eating it.

I have 2 cats and this saved them both. Both developed IG issues. One resulted in IG Lymphoma and had to be treated at a cancer center. The other had severe constipation and inappropriate urination. I changed their food to this and I have healthy, happy kitties! They are both back to normal and they love the taste too! They both gobble it up right away and cry for more! It's a shame food quality has decreased and our poor furbabies are getting sick. But this was worth the extra money and their life!

I have tried many different foods, medications and also vet help for my cat that had major constipation problems that I have been dealing with for years. So I decided to google and look at customer reviews. This food had all the good reviews that I was looking for with many of the customers pets having the same symptoms that my cat had. I had to get a prescription from my vet & ordered. My cat has been on this food with no more problems & no meds !! I am one happy customer. My cat too!!

I got my cat from a rescue when he was 6 years old. We found out after we Got him that he was severely constipated. He went months without pooping more than a a quarter size rock hard nugget. We tried everything: wet food, miralax, fish oil, extra water in the food. This food is the ONLY thing that works. Kitty now poops on an almost daily basis. It's never hard. Never liquidy. And he likes the taste of it. A bag lasts about 2 months for my little (actually big) man.

This food makes my 15 year old kitty's life much easier. He has IBS and suffers with constipation. I only give a handful a day (about 1/3-1/2 cup) which helps him "go" regularly. The food seems to encourage him to drink more which is also very helpful. It has been such a lifesaver and am very thankful for all the reviews I read which suggested this food. With only a handful a day, the bag will last 6 months.

My cat has A LOT of medical issues... One is called "mega colon" which makes it hard for him to "go". Last summer, things got to the point where I thought I was going to have to put him down. Along came this prescription food and it has helped tremendously in combination with the medication he's on!! He's not out of the woods, but I believe it's definitely given him more time <3

From the first bite, His Lordship was crazy about this food. I like feeding him Royal Canin, because both feline health professionals and the manager of a no-kill cat shelter tell me this company is "obsessive" about ingredients. One caveat: if your cat is prone to struvite crystals in his/her urine, make sure he or she gets enough water if this kibble is all you feed him/her. Yes, it has an S/O index, but that was not enough to prevent His Lordship from getting crystals in his urine again. However, that was not the fault of the food.

My Kitty Prince William has been put on a high fiber diet in response to his Hyper Calciumia! Buying the food from his vet was $$ and a hassle to get to due to the fact that I had to move 50 miles away. With one click, Chewy went to work, contacted my vet and sent his food...and for $7 dollars cheaper! Chewy to my rescue!!!
