Product Description

Product Overview

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Veterinary Dry Dog Food – 2kg is a highly digestible veterinary diet specially formulated to support digestive health in dogs with gastrointestinal sensitivities, including cases involving diarrhoea, maldigestion or similar digestive concerns.

The formula combines highly digestible ingredients with balanced fibres, including selected prebiotics, to support healthy digestion, intestinal transit and a balanced gut microbiome.

Its high energy content allows nutritional requirements to be met with smaller meal volumes, helping reduce the amount of food passing through the digestive tract. The formula also contains EPA and DHA, fish oil, psyllium, fructo-oligosaccharides and manno-oligosaccharides as part of its digestive-support nutritional profile.

Royal Canin recommends obtaining a veterinarian's opinion before use. The supplied manufacturer information states that Gastrointestinal dry food may be fed for up to 12 weeks, according to veterinary guidance.
