Royal Canin Gastrointestinal is a precisely formulated diet for cats with acute and/or chronic gastrointestinal conditions.
Historically, most cases of gastrointestinal disease were treated with a minimum of 24-48 hours of gastrointestinal rest. However, research has shown that lack of food causes detrimental effects to the intestinal villi. Appropriate nutritional support can have a profound effect on the short-term recovery and longer-term disease management of patients.
Recommended in case of:
- Acute and chronic diarrhoea
- Gastritis
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
- Colitis
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
- Maldigestion/ Malabsorption
- Dysrexia
- Re-feeding after surgery.
Not recommended in case of:
- Lymphangiectasia
- Exudative enteropathy.
Benefits:
- A highly digestible formula with balanced fibres, including prebiotics, to support healthy digestion and gastrointestinal transit.
- High energy content to reduce meal volume and decrease intestinal load.
- High palatability to satisfy decreased appetites.
Composition: Poultry by-products, chicken meat, maize flour, pork blood products, corn starch mixture, sunflower oil refined, fish oil, minerals, powdercellulose, yeasts and part thereof, caramelised sugars, marigold extract (source of lutein).

Feeding instructions:
See attached table.
This diet is complete and balanced and can be fed long-term. A full health check should be performed by a veterinarian every 6 months.
In case of acute disease, regeneration of the intestinal villi requires the nutritional management to last for at least three weeks. Lifetime feeding may be necessary/beneficial in case of chronic disease. To optimise digestion, the recommended daily intake should be divided into several small meals.
