Product Description

Product Overview

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal – 400g is a complete veterinary dry diet formulated for adult cats with gastrointestinal sensitivities, including cases where highly digestible nutrition and digestive support are required.

The formula combines highly digestible ingredients, balanced fibres and selected prebiotics to support healthy digestion, intestinal transit and the gut microbiome. Its high energy density helps provide adequate calories in a smaller meal volume, which may be useful when appetite or digestive tolerance is reduced.

The diet is also formulated with the Royal Canin S/O Index to promote a urinary environment supportive of urinary tract health.

Because this is part of the Royal Canin Veterinary Nutrition range, it should be used under the recommendation or supervision of a veterinarian.
