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).

Additives (per kg): Nutritional additives: Vitamin D3: 330 IU, Iron: 7 mg, Iodine: 0,4 mg, Copper: 3,3 mg, Manganese: 2,2 mg, Zinc: 22 mg – Technological additives: clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin: 2 g.

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.
