Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie Dry Cat Food, 7.7-lb bag

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.

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.

Was thankful Chewy had this in stock as my vet's office said it was on backorder. Very easy process to order and submit the prescription and received it a few days later. My cats love this food even though only one of them actually needs it!

Our 12 year old cats absolutely thrive on this cat kibble. I give them each 1/4 cup of kibble each morning and they eat it all up. That’s a first for those two. Usually, they have left their morning meal to snack on throughout the day and night. But this new kibble drives them to eat it all at once. The female cat is a plus-size kitty from 12 years of eating most of the male cat’s food. He’s a sleek and vocal Bengal. But now he eats all his new kibble, and since it’s moderate calories, perhaps she will start losing some of her excess weight! I’m so pleased that they both like it so much.

I’ve been a Chewy customer for many years but I’ve never purchased a prescription item from them. After almost 2 weeks of horrible service through Covetrus (the 3rd party “portal” used by my vet to order food online) and finally having my order canceled with no notice due to being out of stock, I tried Chewy. I put in my order and vet info on the morning of 12/8 and got the shipping notification that afternoon with the product arriving 12/9. I should have have stuck with Chewy in the first place instead of trying to support my local veterinarian through their useless portal. Of course in the meantime my cats ran out of food(even the clinic was out of stock) and had to be switched to something I’ve been a Chewy customer for many years but I’ve never purchased a prescription item from them.

All of my cats really seem to like this and it does help with the diarrhea and pooping outside the litter box issue that one of my cats has. It does not help with the random vomiting of my other cat but it wasn’t prescribed for her anyway. So while I’m not sure that this food is the best or has the highest quality ingredients, it was vet-recommended, the cats like it, and it helps with the issue it was prescribed for for my overweight senior cat. Thank you for saving me more sleepless nights waiting for this food, Chewy! I will ALWAYS recommend your company for so many reasons. … more

My 11 year old cat started having bloody runny "accidents" all over the house. It lasted for months. Multiple fecal tests and blood tests left us stumped. A co worker mentioned he used this for his cat with tummy issues so I thought I would give it a try. Within days her stool was solid and back to only being in the litter box. I had her on probiotics for a few months but now she's fantastic with just this food. My only complaint is that I wish the kibble was smaller. My kitty also has no teeth, but refuses to eat wet food, so I end up having to cut the kibble on half for her. Not a huge deal and I'm sure my kitty is a unicorn in that sense.

Our cat, Thomas, has an indigestion problem. He was throwing up occasionally and the vet did bloodwork, etc. and determined he would do well on Royal Canin Gastrointestinal hard food, moderate calorie. He has done well. The vet has a hard time keeping it in stock so we tried Chewy.com and it was delivered quickly.

So far Dusty likes the food, even better then her original Royal Canin diet. Hopefully this will ease her discomfort from pancreatic problems. The first hurdle was would she eat it ... that has been passed.

This is the only thing that helps my cat with IBD not have flare ups and 24/7 diarrhea. Probiotics and medications were not doing the trick so we switched her to this and it's done wonders for her.

Both my cats need this special diet, but were putting on weight. I was skeptical that they would eat a low calorie version, but they both love it and I'm seeing higher energy in both cats now.
