Feeding guidelines are general recommendations only. The amount of food required by your cat may vary above or below that listed in this feeding guide. In consultation with your veterinarian it is recommended that you weight your cat 4 - 6 weeks after starting a new diet in order to adjust food intake to maintain or achieve an optimal body weight and body condition score. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding guidelines for your cat. This diet is formulated to be complete and balanced. It is unnecessary to feed leftover foods, kitchen scraps or additional supplements. It is recommended that your cat be fed 2 - 4 equal portions of the diet per day. Ensure fresh drinking water is available at all times. Store this product in a cool, dry place.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.

Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.

One of my cats is very overweight (o.k., obese). I recently noticed his stools were getting smaller and he wasn't "going" as much. My vet said that all his belly fat was making it harder for him to defecate well and recommended the Gastro Fiber Response for cats. He said it would help with the stool and should also help him to lose some weight. I was willing to try it as this cat eats only dry, though I was nervous because he is very fussy. The good news is he LOVES it. Didn't have to mix it with his usual dry for very long (I still do though). My other cat, mainly a wet food eater, also really likes it!

Their digestion has improved immensely. … more

My vet recommended this food. So Pandora could shake some weight off. She is 8 yrs old & a indoor pet. She weights at 16.5 lbs. Her ideal weight should be 11 lbs.. I was hesitant to change her food type. She has always ate the Royal Canin urinary food. Vet wanted her to increase her fiber intake. The end results is: She likes the food! Her stools are hearty & not dried out. Before this change, she would labor to make bowel movement. Two weeks time, she is up & at it, not so lazy. I can tell she is thinner already!

I have 2 Siamese, Ragazza and Nefertiti. Ragazza had major problems with pooping. She wasn’t going in litter boxes. She would be straining every time. It was horrible. I brought her to her Veterinarian and they gave her several enemas and kept her overnight for several days. He put her on Cisapride, and mirolax and some prescription food. The food neither cat would eat. So after researching About the problem Ragazza had ( Nefertiti has it also just not as bad) I found this product. It has been a miracle worker on both my cats. There stool is the right on, I have become a cat stool expert. It has a soft leathery feel and is soft on the inside.

I have a cat that’s been getting randomly very sick often since I’ve had her. To the point she couldn’t even stand sometimes. Ran blood tests, scans, everything and couldn’t really figure out what’s wrong until we told the vet that since the visit she hasn’t pooped. The vets solved it and said she has digestion issues, specifically constipation issues. It gets her really sick to be that way. Who knew that would be what’s causing it. They recommended a diet switch to this. Since then she’s done amazing. She hasn’t been sick since, her energy levels are through the roof, she hasn’t thrown up near as much, and her coat has even gotten softer.

Our cat suffered a severe attack & afterwards has had to be on steroids for the rest of his life. It leaves him with severely soft stool. This food helps tremendously with this. I have always LOVED chewy & still do. However, our vet sells this same sized bag for $29.00 not $40 something. Disappointing. I will continue to support Chewy when possible due to their top notch customer service though!

This is a prescription food for cats with GI issues. It has the additional benefit of also protecting the kidneys. I have two cats, one with the two problems. Luckily, both cats like the food. Within a few days I noticed that this food is effectively relieving the constipation. It doesn’t cause diarrhea. I always enjoy ordering from Chewy. Customer service is awesome. I accidentally ordered dog food. I called and the order was fixed and delivered the next day!

I have a kitten who is prone to digestive issues like constipation. I noticed an immediate change in her digestion once she'd been prescribed this food (it requires a vet script.) Apparently it has a high fiber content that pulls more water into the stool to make it easier to pass. My cat has had no trouble since--there was an immediate change.

My vet just switched my 11 year old Maine Coon to this food, to help with her pancreatitis. She had been on another prescription brand for a couple years, but this is working better. She is a very picky eater, but liked it right away. It has been a few months and so far so good.

My cat is around 10 years old, he has issues with his bowels getting backed up. This cat food helps keep his stools light and fluffy. That is the only way to describe it. And it is great for my other 4 cats. But be prepared to have a full litter box that needs cleaning out twice a day!

Got this food to substitute the gastro high energy food. Needed something that wasn’t HE. My car immediately transitioned to this - a little vomiting but overall loves it and wants more. A little expensive but worth it keeping my cat’s stomach healthy.
