Details

If your cat is prone to gain weight and has gastrointestinal problems, you’ll have to find the best two-in-one food. Offer a world of nutrition tailored for your overweight cat’s sensitive tummy with the veterinarian-recommended Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie Cat.

Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie Cat is dry food for overweight or prone-to-overweight adult cats to reduce acute intestinal absorptive problems. In addition, this food can also be used as compensation for maldigestion. Your cat may face digestive problems if they struggle to digest their food, vomit, have diarrhea and loose stools, and even lack appetite, which can lead to weight loss.

As its name advertises, Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie features a moderate calorie content to help maintain optimal weight. It also contains highly digestible ingredients and balanced fibers to support healthy digestion and intestinal transit. These fibers include prebiotics that promote a balanced and healthy microbiome. 

What’s more - the S/O index present in this formula minimizes the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate stone formation. And last but not least, this recipe is rich in electrolytes and is highly palatable to overcome decreased appetites that some cats may experience.

FAQ

How can I feed Royal Canin food to my pet?

First, when introducing new food to your pet’s diet, make a gradual transition. We recommend you do a transition phase of seven days to avoid dietary issues. Mix a portion of the new food with your pet's current food, gradually increasing the ratio every three days until your pet is fully adapted.

Feed Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie for one to two weeks during periods of/recovery from acute diarrhea. In cases of maldigestion, feed for three to 12 weeks and feed during your cat’s lifetime for chronic pancreatic insufficiency. 

Make sure your pet always has fresh water available. For better results, you can combine the dry food with the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie wet cat food, which you can feed separately or in the same bowl.

Nevertheless, before use and for further guidance, speak to your vet and follow their advice.
