Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal Cat Dry Food is a complete dietetic food specially formulated for adult cats with gastrointestinal sensitivities. It provides targeted nutritional support for cats experiencing digestive concerns such as acute or chronic diarrhoea, poor digestion, reduced appetite or difficulty absorbing nutrients. It may also be recommended during recovery when a cat requires highly digestible, energy-dense nutrition.
The highly digestible formula contains a balanced combination of fibres, including selected prebiotics, to support healthy digestion and comfortable intestinal transit. Prebiotics help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a balanced intestinal microbiome and overall digestive well-being.
Its high energy density lets cats get the nutrition they need from a smaller serving. This helps reduce meal volume and intestinal workload, benefiting cats with reduced appetites or sensitive digestive systems. The highly palatable kibble is designed to encourage food acceptance when a cat may be reluctant to eat.
The formula also contains EPA and DHA, beneficial omega-3 fatty acids that support digestive health. An antioxidant complex helps support the immune system, while increased electrolyte levels and a concentrated supply of essential nutrients support nutritional restoration during recovery.
Royal Canin’s S/O Index helps create a urinary environment unfavourable to struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation. This provides additional urinary support while the formula's primary focus remains digestive care.
As part of the Royal Canin Veterinary range, give this food only when recommended by a veterinarian. Your vet will determine whether it is appropriate for your cat and advise the correct feeding quantity and duration based on its condition and recovery needs.
Feed this diet only after consulting your veterinarian and follow the recommended portion size and feeding duration carefully. Transition gradually over 7–10 days unless your vet advises otherwise. Monitor your cat’s appetite, stool quality, hydration and energy levels, and contact your veterinarian if vomiting, diarrhoea, poor appetite or weight loss continues. Always keep fresh drinking water available.
Veterinary Cat Food is specially formulated to provide targeted nutritional support for cats with specific health requirements, including gastrointestinal sensitivities, urinary concerns, kidney conditions, food intolerances and weight-management needs. These diets contain carefully controlled nutrients and should form part of a veterinarian-directed care plan.
Do not select veterinary diets as regular maintenance food without professional advice. Consult a veterinarian before starting, changing or discontinuing the diet, follow the prescribed feeding period and continue any recommended medical treatment. Veterinary food supports the management of health conditions but does not replace medicines, diagnostic tests or ongoing veterinary care.
