Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie Canned Cat Food, 3-oz can, case of 24

My oldest cat developed severe IBD; she also has a history of pancreatic issues and diabetes, so my vet and I didn't want to try the normal steroid treatment options. We came up with multiple treatment options using other medications, only to discover she has an extreme intolerance to most pharmaceuticals. We tried laser treatments, alternative diets and supplements - she'd start to get better, only to quickly revert to uncontrolled IBD. By this time, she had lost most of her muscle mass and was so thin you could see every bone; I was sure I would lose her soon. Then we found the Royal Canin GI line. My vet studied the foods and chose a combination that would also work with her diabetes - the My oldest cat developed severe IBD; she also has a history of pancreatic issues and diabetes, so my vet and I didn't want to try the normal steroid treatment options.

My vet studied the foods and chose a combination that would also work with her diabetes - the moderate calorie canned and the fiber response dry. She immediately began to make progress. Pandora has been on this diet for a few months now and she continues to improve and gain weight, and she feels so much better! She still has bouts of IBD, but they are much less frequent and, more importantly, much less severe - all without any medications! Gone are the days of waking up or coming home to half the house covered in projectile vomit, litter boxes full of diarrhea and a miserably sick kitty who desperately wants to eat but can't keep anything in long enough to digest it. I am so glad we found this food and would highly recommend it to anyone who has a kitty with digestive problems! … more

After a lot of research, we turned to this food a couple of years ago when two of our elderly cats developed inflammatory bowel disease. They also get one raw meal per day, Prozyme powder, and lots of Swanson unsalted chicken stock to maintain hydration. Between all these efforts, both cats are doing amazingly well with very minimal doses of prednisolone. We also feed the dry version of this food as a snack, and we use the treat version of this food to help give compounded prednisolone. I do believe this food helped to save their lives, and has given them a wonderful quality of life as they look great and are very happy.

They just turned 16, as did their littermate who also eats this food, and or fourth cat from a separate litter who has weight issues, also geriatic. This food is a little on the expensive side, but if you could see how beautiful our cats look and how happily they eat it, you would know why we pay the price cheerfully. … more

My 18 year old cat gobbles this food up like catnip. He has a few medical problems, so it is a joy to see him eat well. The real bonus is that I can put certain medicines in powder form into the food and he gets the full dose of that as well--no pill giving needed. The food has definitely helped with his intestinal problem as well. Very recommended.

Houdini and Teddy really seem to like this over the other brand formula. Teddy is the one who needs it, Houdini is Mr. Finicky so it's great they both like it:)

This is great high quality food. Unfortunately my cat doesn't love it so I have to mix it with other stuff to get it into him.

Our 15 year old male cat was starting to vomit his food every few days. We took him to the vet but all his tests came back normal. The vet recommended the dry version of this food but he still got sick. That's when we switched to the canned food. He tolerates it very well, and still eats a small amount of dry food too. Although the cans are small, one can lasts up to 2 days. He has been better for the last few weeks and we hope it continues.

Skyler had a very bad digestive system and had trouble going to the bathroom so we changed his diet to this food and it has changed his life he is now a happy kitty and everybody at chewy has been very helpful thank you to everybody you're also nice

This is a prescription food. [Just put it in your order. Chewy will ask for your vet's contact information, get the approval they need and ship your order without a hitch.] We normally get the dry version of this food as I am not a big fan of feeding wet food. However, our most senior cat was not eating well so we ordered the canned. Once she got the canned, she realized she was hungry! We started her on small portions as her tummy was in a bad state for not eating well for a while. She kept the food down so we began increasing the portion as her stomach stretched a bit. In just three weeks, she has regained 1/2lb of the 1.25lbs she had lost. The cat is happy, we're happy and the vet is This is a prescription food. [Just put it in your order.

This food is easily digested; comes as small-ish bits in some gravy. I mashed it up for our senior feline. The younger-senior in our home eats it as it comes out of can. … more

Chewy.com is wonderful but my cats apparently are finicky and turned their noses up at this food and refuse to eat it. They usually eat the Royal Canine loaf for sensitive digestion but they do not like this one. Just make sure your cats like it before you purchase a case.

I have two older cats with digestive issues. My veterinarian suggested Royal Canin brand. So far I have tried their hard food and soft food. It has helped their digestive issues tremendously. I mix some of their old food with Royal Canin and they love it.
