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

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!

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.

Fills the belly makes a cat poop! My 18 year old got super constipated, she spent the night at the vet getting cleaned out. This was prescribed to help keep her moving. Chewy thankfully had it for cheaper than other places and delivers so thats awesome. And now my geriatric cat is more regular than her human. The food kinds smells, it took a few days for her and the other cat to get used to it but wow am I cleaning out the litter box! No more constipated kitty.

My cat was in and out of the vet's office for gastrointestinal issues. He was a stray that had been hit by a car and had his pelvis rebuilt so he was susceptible to having gastrointestinal problems. He has had no issues since we started feeding him this food. He has been on it now for 6 months. We supplement with Royal Canin wet food too and he is doing great!!

I recently spent $2,000 at the vet because my Persian cat River was "compacted." My normal Vet recommend Science Diet and so I was feeding River that. I found out from the emergency Vet that the food I was feeding him was the worst! They recommended Royal Canin Gastro Fiber. It worked almost instantly! My cat River is pooping normal again and he loves the cat food. My other Persian cat Atom loves it too! Thanks Chewy!

Since my cat has been on this dry food (for the past 6 months), he has no longer been constipated. I make sure he drinks plenty of water (this is necessary with this food) by keeping 3 water fountains running at all times in different spots of the house. He doesn't like to drink standing water but running water encourages him to drink.

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.

Our older cat had issues with constipation. I tried some other products but this one provided great results. And, he loves to eat it! He even lost a bit of weight because he is getting rid of more waste. (He needed to lose the weight).

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

My little 16-year-old cat Elsa has irritable bowel disease. She's been vomiting and has had very thin stool. She's also rather finicky about what she eats. She eats the RC gastrointestinal fiber response dry cat food well. Since she started eating it a few weeks ago, her stool isn't as thin and I haven't seen her vomit.
