Royal Canin Veterinary Cat Dry Food Gastrointestinal – 400g
Support your cat's digestive health with Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal Dry Cat Food 400g, a specialised veterinary diet formulated for cats experiencing digestive disorders, gastrointestinal sensitivities, or difficulties absorbing nutrients.
Digestive problems can affect your cat's appetite, comfort, and ability to obtain essential nutrients from food. Royal Canin Gastrointestinal combines highly digestible proteins, prebiotics, a balanced fibre blend, and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) to support digestive function and intestinal health.
Its high-energy formula helps cats meet their nutritional requirements with smaller meal portions, while enhanced palatability encourages food intake in cats with reduced appetites.
The convenient 400g bag is a practical smaller pack for cats following a veterinarian-recommended gastrointestinal diet.

Why Choose Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal?

Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal is designed to address these nutritional challenges through a combination of highly digestible ingredients and digestive-supporting nutrients.
Its prebiotic and fibre blend supports intestinal function, while its high-energy content helps provide adequate nutrition without requiring large meals.
The formula's palatability is also particularly useful when digestive discomfort affects your cat's willingness to eat.
For cats requiring specialised digestive nutrition, it offers a complete dietary option that can be incorporated into a veterinarian-supervised care plan.
