Kitty food
By Jklsk on Apr 28, 2020
I purchased this special vet diet in error. My vet ordered the Royal Canin HP for adult cats, not this one. Is it possible to return? Very expensive bag to give away right now during this SIP order due to Covid-19. Thank you.

Chewy.com is the best! I’m a satisfied customer.
By Lixitpillpopper on Apr 4, 2020
I ordered this product for my cat. But didn’t realize that my partner bought two bags of it. I wrote Chewy.com for a return authorization to return it to them. They said to keep it or donate it . They credited my account. This 7.7 pound bag costs around $50.00. How nice is that!

My overly picky eater, loves it
By HurricaneHugo on Feb 15, 2020
My cat had to be put on this. She loves different her flavors so I was nervous she wouldn't eat this but to my surprise she loves it! From the moment I set the dish down she gobbled it up and gave me the I want more look. I figured it was because it was a new taste and it would wear off soon and she'd be back to turning up her nose just likes she's done for the past 13 years lol. To my shock she still loves it!! Way more pricey then her old food we bought her tuna from Fromm,but she loves this even more. I think after the first bag was done and she still loved it my mind was blown away. I guess it tastes totally McDonald's to a cat.

Royal Canin food
By Sher on Nov 22, 2019
Had no problem acclumating the two cats over to this dry food. Cats seem to like it too. It is a bit pricey, but does help both our cats digestive issues.

My kitty cats LOVE this !!
By RDH22 on Aug 17, 2019
My Vet recommended this food when my kitty Gunther was having trouble digesting other crunchies, he had stomach issues with loose stool. As soon as we switched to Royal Canin GI, the difference was amazing. No more tummy issues and Gunther was a happy kitty!! Also, we love Chewy.com, great customer service!! Thanks Chewy for helping me take care of my kitties.

Excellent Food
By MommaCat on Jun 29, 2019
I have always tried to feed my cats good dry food. Even though they have been on a quality grain free dry cat for a while, my two girls still vomit a lot. One is 10, the other is 17 years old and they are otherwise in good health. The ten year old vomits her food almost daily so after blood tests the vet suggested switching to RCVD. Even slowly switching to the food made a remarkable difference. I have four cats - all loved the food - and the tummy problems went away instantly. We may continue a mix just to see how things go, or try a mix of regular Royal Canin and Royal Canin Vet Diet. I always knew that they made quality food and wish I had fed their brand to my furbabies sooner.
