The gastrointestinal tract includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and colon. Therefore, gastrointestinal disease is defined as any abnormality involving one or more of these structures. By feeding your pet a diet that contains precise amounts of key nutrients, you can not only help minimize vomiting, diarrhea,or constipation, you can also help to support and improve the function of the gastrointestinal structures. This gastrointestinal diet is formulated to help maintain the balance of gastrointestinal microflora and intestinal mucosal integrity.
Key Benefits- Canine Gastrointestinal Low Fat is a highly digestible, palatable, complete and balanced dog food. The diet is restricted in fat.
- Features a low fat concentration, while providing a maintenance energy level, which helps dogs with difficulties in digesting fat
- Contains a combination of highly digestible proteins, prebiotics and EPA & DHA helps support digestive health
- Low fiber content ensures high digestibility, nutrient absorption, and limits colonic fermentation
- Low fat concentration improves digestive function in dogs with hyperlipidemia or pancreatitis

This food is amazing for GI issues and Chewy's service is stellar! Our packages arrived so quickly! Our 8 year old half Golden, half Irish Setter developed stress colitis when we moved to a new home. After many vet visits, tests of all kinds, and a lot of antibiotics to try and get the diarrhea under control, he still wasn't well. Even with antibiotics his stool wasn't normal and each time we stopped, it came back full force. The only suggestion a specialist had was an exploratory biopsy. We weren't convinced that was the right way to go so in desperation contacted his old vet who was kind enough to jump in long distance. He recommended trying this food - dry kibble and canned if we wanted This food is amazing for GI issues and Chewy's service is stellar! Our packages arrived so quickly!

We weren't convinced that was the right way to go so in desperation contacted his old vet who was kind enough to jump in long distance. He recommended trying this food - dry kibble and canned if we wanted. Our dog eats both without hesitation. After 3 days his stool was completely normal, FINALLY after 3 months. We're really hopeful this will be a cure - SO MUCH better than doing an invasive procedure. The plan is to continue the Tylan he's on for 3 weeks while he's on this food then stop the Tylan but continue the diet and see what happens. At this point we're very encouraged this food is going to do the trick of getting his tummy back in balance. It's hard not to give him treats but so worth it. He's acting like his old self again - happy and energetic! … more

Chewy.com is great. I placed my order on a Wednesday and received the food on Friday. That included shipping and getting prescription verified with my vet. I have a chihuahua who is overweight and her triglycerides are off of the chart. She's been on a combination of the dry and canned version. After a week, she is already down 1.5 lbs. She loves this food. She gets excited at meal times and she savors the food rather than gobbling it all up in 30 seconds like she used to. She licks the bowl clean. The only issue I have is that my other dog has allergies to chicken and grain. He can't eat the dry food. The canned version is made with pork. Both dogs can at least share that.

Recently switched due to overweight GSD. She eats every piece of kibble ea. meal and her stools are consistently solid. Big improvement. Been through so many expensive brands - including the GSD Royal Canin regular food, she would almost always leave 1/2 bowl of kibble to waste so its great to find one that she's finally enjoying. Weigh in soon to determine if it's helping that aspect of her health.

My pup (Skittles) is a small girl and has terrible tummy issues. After many rounds of medication and a diet of chicken and rice, the vet recommended this Royal Canin Vet Diet. I ordered it that night. When it arrived, I took 3-4 days to switch Skittles over to this food and now she's doing great! She loves it, eats it without problem, and has not had any more tummy issues since then! (Note: I did consult with the vet on how much to feed her and I had to increase her portions due to the lower caloric value of this food over what she ate before)

Parker has a very sensitive digestive system -other high quality foods are just too rich for her, causing her to vomit - plus she did not like most foods -she loves this food -will eat it dry and she never gets sick with it - great quality food plus our other dog loves it and since he is a tad over weight the low fat food is a good choice for him as well

Our dog has been prescribed this food so far it is working out she seems like she's starving to death on it but it is working for her but the cost of this food is outlandish really makes it hard to keep your animal on a prescribed food when it cost this much

Shortly after rescuing a small dog she got very sick and was diagnosed with a VERY sensitive stomach and prescribed the canned dog food of this variety. She has done well for the last almost five years but seemed to be getting tired of the wet food. I talked to my vet and discovered that the dog food also came in a dry formula! I talked to Chewy representative and they checked the prescription and easily switched to the dry food for auto ship. My little one really likes the dry and I am still slowly switching her over by mixing the two to make sure she doesn't experience any stomach problems. Thanks Chewy for your help in making this an easy transition!

One of our dogs was diagnosed with pancreatitis and the vet recommended this food. His numbers went from over 900 to under 40 after one month. Our other dog eats it now too and has slimmed down to a healthy weight. I can say enough good things about this dog,food.

I have a very sick Standard Poodle with a Gastro problem that has a primary vet and a Gastro specialist. There is no cure for him, but between his doctors and Royal Canin Veterinary Diet, he is happy and comfortable.

My super finicky eaters that turn their noses up at every food on the planet can not get enough of this!! They love it so much I don't need to feed any can food as an enticement any longer.
