Calmed Her Stomach
By SherCat on May 7, 2021
About 6 years ago, my Dachshund girl developed stomach issues with painful gas and diarrhea. Her vet prescribed Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food and it worked well for her. She has fewer flareups from colitis, this food and the companion treats are the only things she gets to eat. She loves the food and especially the treats! Since Covid, her vet and all four of our area pet supply stores have had a real challenge keeping this on their shelves and the treats are even harder to find. Thankfully Chewy has both in stock again. I wanted to order the 6 lb. bag as I do locally but it was out of stock so I had to get the 17 pounds instead, and of course 2 bags of treats.

On a diet nowadays
By Glen102 on May 7, 2021
I never feed my dogs kibble with corn in it. So, my chorkie was too fat. And it was very hard on her breathing. A friend had her Yorkie on this vet recommended diet and offered it to me. I checked with my vet and she agreed so my little one is eating this food. She is steady losing and now has 5 lbs. off. She runs, plays jumps, and is doing much better. This kibble has helped so much!

Love Chewy
By Bella on Apr 30, 2021
Outstanding service! When I could not get my Royal Canin Dalmatian, my vet prescribed this. Chewy contacted my vet, kept me updated via email, and I received my box a couple of days later! Auto ship is great, and flexible! Love the fact that I just have to drag the box in from my front door! I can also add items to the autoship with no shipping charges! Thanks Chewy!

Still trying
By 3woofs on Apr 17, 2021
Chewy did a great job getting this dog food to me. They contacted my vet the same day I put in my order, and it arrived amazingly fast! Unfortunately, my dog could not keep the food down. I'm slowly working on getting my dog better. Yesterday, he ate 12 pieces of the Royal Canin (soaked in chicken broth) kibble, mixed with chicken and rice. Today, I am planning on adding a few more pieces of well soaked kibble and hoping for the best. Ask me again, in a few weeks, and my opinion may change.

He likes it!
By Sander on Apr 16, 2021
My dog was found to have high triglycerides and was prescribed this food for his condition. I was really worried he would not eat it and I would struggle with keeping on the diet he really needs. Happily he loves it! He was also prescribed Omega-3 oil to be added and he loves this combination! He doesn't even beg for treats as much anymore.

Dog Food Availability

When no other providers could provide due to shortage of this specific food, Chewy stepped up to the plate. When you have a dog with dietary issues, having the right product at the right time is critical. Thank you!!!!

My dog's favorite food
By Dolly on Mar 31, 2021
Glad the Royal Canin back in stock before we ran out. My miniature schnauzer has pancreatitis and does so well on this food. It doesn't hurt that she loves it and is at the ready every time I put her bowl out. Chewy is always great with quick service and delivery.

Great and Fast Service!
By RCVD on Feb 24, 2021
Our Veterinarian prescribed this special food for our dog. Our dog loves it, and she is no longer vomiting. The proof will be in the results at our next doctor visit. We ordered this on a Friday morning and knowing it would require approval from our Vet, I expected it would take a bout a week. You can imagine my shock when it arrived the next day - on a Saturday. Website works great and obtaining approval was a non-issue. And thanks for the new customer coupon code - we will be back.

Wonderful food
By Jimmy on Feb 27, 2021
This food made all the difference in my little guy! He was chubby with frequent GI problems and couldn’t jump anymore. We tried this during an acute flare up and it helped so we tried transitioning to other non script GI support foods but he always got sick. So we went back to this and he hasn’t had any problems, plus he LOVES it. He’s lost weight, is jumping again and so full of life again. Please don’t stop making this food! It’s truly been a blessing to us.

Good for dogs that need to lose some weight - low fat
By Chippendales on Feb 1, 2021
My previous Shih Tzu was on this kibble for being overweight when he was 13 years old. He lost 2 lbs within a year. He continued on this diet for another 2 years. He was able to maintain his ideal weight while on this kibble. He got to live for 17 long dog years. Now, my 11 yr old Shih Tzu is now on this prescribed kibbles. She need to lose about 3 lbs. I am hoping for the same result with her. My girl Shih Tzu is a little picky eater so I have to add some bone broth. One complain I have is that this dry food is good for all size breeds, including the small breeds - per the packaging. Compared to my previous toy breed kibbles, this Royal Canin GI kibbles are about 3 times bigger, if not My previous Shih Tzu was on this kibble for being overweight when he was 13 years old.
