The gastrointestinal food was always very well liked by my cats, and it helps a lot with diarrhoea and sensitive digestion. With the last delivery, I noticed a change in the smell and the consistency of the sauce. Unfortunately, my cats no longer eat it now.

my cat has been on this on & off since easter 2015, she loved it, great food but unfortunately its recently had sugar removed, looks different & cat wont touch it now, trying to find an alternative asap. emailed RC who said "Certain sugars have been removed from the formulation of Gastrointestinal cat pouches. Whilst this change may impact the appearance of the product, it does not impact the quality, functionality and safety of it. The change in formulation should also not impact palatability"

Until a few months ago, this food was always the "nourishing food" I turned to when one of my cats wasn’t feeling well. However, with the last two deliveries, I noticed a change in the smell and appearance of the food, and apparently, my cats did too, as they no longer eat it as eagerly or not at all. I won’t be ordering it again, as the price is quite literally too high to then have to deal with the hassle of returning it...

My Sphynx Dudley has Pancreatitis and loved this food. But Formula changed in jelly rather than gravy. He eats it but not so much. Why fix something that is not broken!

RC have this product so much my cat don’t eat it now such a shame

My elderly girl loved this when it was gravy, now they have changed it to jelly she will not eat it due to vomiting

Sadly my cat will no longer eat this new formula in jelly and pale in colour, such a shame , so disappointed as despite it being expensive it worked wonders for my cats health. Now I will need to try and find an alternative .

My two elderly cats with chronic digestive issues were on this for three meals a day. Since the formula change, one went on hunger strike completely and the other is picking at it. Phoned Royal Canin and the customer service was excellent but unfortunately that won't get my cats to eat the new version.

The changed formula discourages my sick cat from eating. I tested other companies and none of them helped him. He previously loved this food, returned to a healthy weight and got rid of chronic diarrhea. Now his diarrhea is back. I don't know what to do or how to help him :((

This was my cats favourite wet prescription food for IBD. The box I ordered in December had changed, the gravy is now jelly and it doesn’t look as appealing. My cat agrees as he will no longer eat this food. It’s a shame to lose a favourite. Was no info on the box that the ingredients and vitamins had been altered. He does fine on Royal Canin Sensitivity Control, no upset tummy, so will be substituting the Gastrointestinal for this as it’s a similar consistency with gravy.

Having had serious issues with my cat losing weight this was the only gastrointestinal food that my cat can tolerate. Imagine my dismay after reordering 48 pouches I opened the first one to see the grey jelly sludge that is in other brands, needless to say my very fussy cat took one sniff and has gone on hunger strike. I am now going to have to start the painful process of finding another food that doesn't react with her tummy

this was one of the only foods my elderly cat would eat, but the gravy has disappeared and a musty soft jelly has replaced it. my cat wont touch it any more, £50 wasted

Please note all positive reviews below are for the old formula (which was great). Since the end of 2023 Royal Canin have changed the recipe and now the product is awful. My cat won't touch it which very upsetting because this food was a lifeline when she was diagnosed with dietary problems. She used to love it. I encourage anyone who has received this new recipe to claim a refund under Royal Canin's guarantee, not least because it is no longer in gravy as the packet claims; it is now in jelly.

Cats loved this in gravy, but now hate it as Royal Canin have changed the formula. They have cut out some sugars and now the formula is paler, smells different and is in jelly, not gravy. Sadly, we will need to change to something else for one of our kittles. On another note, I believe RC, as per a lot of cat food manufacturers, use chicken by-product which isn't made clear on packets...just a note for anyone that has felines that need a non-poultry single source protein. What a shame.

The product sachets were intact and undamaged. Outer & inner packing disintegrated on one side and two inner cartons

Our old lady loves eating it. She was in poor health, vomiting a lot and barely eating. Since I started feeding her this food, things have been looking up again.

My cat suddenly went off his food and became very lethargic, he is 14 years old and started to suffer with diarrhoea. The vet recommended Royan Canin gastrointestinal for cats. I was a bit sceptical but gave it a try. The cat started eating again, the diarrhoea stopped and the cat is again very active !

This food disappears in no time. Just add a bit of water to the pouch and give it a gentle shake – this thins out the thicker sauce a bit, and cats that don’t drink much automatically get more water.

My poor cat was poorly with cystitis. He had hairballs from not grooming due to being poorly, was stressed nd in pain. This food worked almost instantly! I've tried all medicines, but this has changed my cat for the better! His coat is so soft and shiny, no more cystitis and he's now back to his old playful, happy self. Thank you so much!

This is my first time ordering on zooplus ; The cat food came the next day , both my cat and I are over the moon , Great service and a quality product ! I’ll be re- ordering soon .
