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

All I can say is that for my 13 year old boy - who was having daily diarrhea - it stopped it immediately (where probiotics did not). We had tried the ID digestive care food first, which also worked, but he hates pate and ID only makes pate (I believe). I was skeptical that any food change would make such a profound difference, but am so happy that it did! Fingers crossed it will continue - has been about a month now. I would like to know more as to how the ingredients differ from Royal Canin's regular foods (Intense Beauty/Adult Instinctive) so that it helps ease feline digestive issues.

This was one of the few foods my super picky cat with major skin allergies would eat, but royal canin just changed the formula. Now she refuses to touch it. Chewy customer service refunded me so that was nice, but now I have to find something else she'll eat that won't make her tear at her skin.

My cat has gastrointestinal issues and we tried this food about 10 months ago. She ate it fine and it helped. About 2 months ago they changed from chunks to slices and gravy is a lighter brown. The appearance doesn't matter as I had to mush it up anyway. Apparently the taste has also changed. My cat went from eating 3 cans a day to almost nothing. And she is not fussy Poor thing has been eating several prescription foods over the years and ate them all. This was the food that helped her. So am very unhappy about the change.

I hadn't realized that the ordinary gastrointestinal food was high-caloric until my ten-year-old cat suddenly gained a significant amount of weight during the summer. This new food isn't as appealing to her, partly because of the toughness of the rather large chunks, but she loves the gravy. I use it only in the morning, as an opened can loses a lot of appeal during the day. She won't touch it again if it's been refrigerated and saved.

My cat with pancreatitis had been on Hills for awhile. Royal Canin is cheaper so we thought we’d give it a try. He loves it and his tummy is still fine.

My cat diagnosed with IBD in March 2020 and I was devastated and didn't know what to do. Her vet instructed me to take her for endoscopy, but after some research and finding that the endoscopy for cats is a huge surgery and sometimes doesn't give the result. I said no to colonoscopy and decided to do my best to keep her happy for the time left. Her vet prescribed high dosage of steroid and the diet which is any kind of food that is for Gastrointestinal. After almost 2 months, I stopped the medication, it was hard for both of us, for her taking the medication and for me as mother given the medication. We're in month forth and she's doing OK with diet food and Royal Canin Diet Gastrointestinal My cat diagnosed with IBD in March 2020 and I was devastated and didn't know what to do.

Although once in a while she gets tired of it, but I switch to different food for a day or two and I learned a trick, if you add some of her favorite dry food on top of wet food, she eats it better. I mix half a can with a little hot water, and smash the meat with a fork and add few piece of dry kibble and wallah... Not sure if Royal Canin reads these messages but I wished they had more variety for IBD cats. … more

My cat was doing so well on this food, then this last order he won't touch. Did you change ingredients?

I gave this 5 stars because it is the type of food my Hildie needs and is good for her but she eats it one day and not the next. I chop it up and she eats it or not. Don't chop it up and again maybe or maybe not. When she does eat it she just about cleans her bowl. Very picky girl. Seems to like it better than Purina EN.

My vet ordered this prescription food for my cat because he has gastrointestinal problems and is losing weight. When I received the food, my finicky cat liked it but EVERY time he eats it, he vomits it up. I tried if for a few days and it’s not a fluke, he can’t keep it down. I don’t know what is in the food that is making that happen. It was a waste for me to purchase it.

I'm sure plenty of cats love this food but I can't get my cat to touch it. Sorry to give a bad recommendation because this food is just what she should be eating, but she won't.
