- How is this different from the standard Royal Canin Gastrointestinal diet?
- It has lower calorie density and slightly lower fat, aimed at cats prone to weight gain. The digestive support ingredients are similar. Use it if your cat gained weight on the regular GI formula.
- Can I feed it to a healthy cat?
- No. It is a therapeutic diet for cats with a diagnosed digestive problem. Healthy cats should eat a maintenance food, and a vet should confirm how long to feed this.
- Should I feed the dry food, the wet cans, or both?
- Both are complete diets, so either works alone. Many owners mix them to add moisture and variety. Transition over about a week to avoid upsetting the gut.
- How long does an open can keep?
- Refrigerate the unused portion and use it within 24 hours. Bring it to room temperature before serving, since cold food can put cats off.
- Is it suitable for kittens?
- Royal Canin makes separate growth formulas for kittens with GI issues. This adult diet is not designed for growing cats unless your vet says otherwise.
- How quickly will I see improvement?
- Many owners report firmer stools within a week, but recovery can take several weeks. If diarrhea persists or your cat stops eating, call your vet.
