You’ve tried everything to help with your cat's GI issues, whether those are vomiting, diarrhea, or lack of appetite. And while bland homemade diets are often used for digestive upsets, your cat could be missing some key nutrients to help them fully recover. But with the help of your veterinarian and Royal Canin, there’s not just hope—there can be a true difference.
This palatable, digestible GI cat diet is formulated with lower calories* for healthy weight maintenance—especially in cats with a tendency to become overweight. Prebiotics help maintain the balance of good bacteria in the gut. A blend of dietary fibers supports healthy digestion for optimal stool quality. Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, from fish oil help nourish and soothe the GI tract. And the exclusive S/O Index supports urinary health by creating an environment unfavorable to crystal formation in the bladder. Ask your veterinarian about pairing with Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie wet cat food and Gastrointestinal cat treats as a complement to your cat’s diet.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Disappointed
By Marie on May 16, 2021
Ever since the ingredients in this product changed, my cat has not benefited at all from this change. I immediately saw the difference in the way it lacked the previous results in my cats stool. As a result my cat is again having digestive issues. As a result I no longer order this product. Especially if it costs the same and it doesn’t do what it previously did for my pet. Looking for alternatives that work.

Not for mine
By jess on Apr 21, 2021
I got this because they were outta fiber response and the cats that need it won't touch it at all. I have tried everything in my power even mixing with the left over kind and nope they won't go near it. I hope how soon they get the fiber response back because my babies has to have it.

Cat doesn't seem to like
By Chewylover on Mar 6, 2021
Just started switching my cat from the hills ID food she was eating. The ID was no longer helping with her diarrhea so needed to try something different and read all the great reviews for this kind. My cat so far does not want to eat this food. She will pick around her bowl and pick out the old ID and leave this new kind. Fingers crossed she eventually begins to eat it because this new food is very expensive. If she begins to eat it and it works great but if things don't change what a waste!

By Trish on May 20, 2021
I have been looking for another Royal Canin dry food for my 15 year old that has some sensitivity issues. This seems to be working for her.

Really does help
By KrazyKatLady on Apr 9, 2021
Twizzler's colon issues have lessened to where we are very close to normal. I'm sure he feels better as he is more active (into everything!!!). Worth the wait during the production difficulties as we love Royal Canin!

owner of a senior cat with health problems
By Lucy on Mar 22, 2021
We free feed our cats. Our senior cat developed a condition at 18 requiring this dry food. It was difficult to separate the dry food from the other cats and keep the older cat from eating theirs so they all eat this food and they love it.

pretty good
By lori on Feb 26, 2021
This was perscribed for my ragdoll for digestive issues. After trying different types of food to prevent him from vomiting, and Royal Canin has worked the best. I gave four stars because it isn't perfect, my cat still has bouts of puking but nothing like before using this food.

helped with chronic diarrhea
By Ashley on Dec 29, 2020
My kitty has chronic diarrhea and this food has really helped improve his stool quality. We tried numerous food types, probiotics, etc and this specific food seems to help the most. He still has the occasional flair-up but it isn’t nearly as bad as it once was. He also seems much more comfortable overall. Happy cat, happy cat mom. My only issue is this food is out of stock often; I try to order early to prevent running out but even then sometimes it’s out of stock for such a long period of time I run extremely low. This is extra challenging seeing as it’s a prescription food my cat relies on. Also my cats prefer smaller kibble like the fiber response formula, these kibbles are a little large My kitty has chronic diarrhea and this food has really helped improve his stool quality.
