Diet food for dogs with chronic or acute diarrhoea, gastritis and dysbacteriosis, with a high energy content and enriched with FOS and MOS for good digestion, in an easy to digest recipe with EPA/DHA.
A dog's digestive tract is a highly sensitive organ, which can suffer from a number of debilitating conditions. Many dogs suffer with chronic diarrhoea or vomiting, meaning that a long-term change in food may be required. In order to relieve the digestive tract, this Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Dog - Gastro Intestinal has an increased energy content, ensuring that only smaller portions are required to meet your dog's needs. Fermentable fibres such as dried sugar beet pulp and FOS are also included to help regulate digestion, as well as nourishing the microflora in the gut and ensuring the healthy maintenance of a balanced intestinal environment. Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) can help to stimulate the gut's local immune system (IgA) and help to neutralise pathogenic bacteria.
Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Dog - Gastro Intestinal at a glance:
High digestive security: proteins with high digestibility to reduce the fermentation process in the intestines
FOS and MOS: fermentable fibres (FOS) to support a balanced intestinal flora and mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) to stimulate the local immune system in the gut (IgA)
High energy content: the increased energy density allows you to feed smaller portions, reducing the strain on the gut
High acceptance: dogs suffering with digestive difficulties often have a reduce appetite, resulting in weight loss. The great flavour of this food can help to encourage nutrient intake and recovery
EPA/DHA: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which can help to reduce inflammatory processes in the gut.
Put my new rescue dog straight on this as he had loose stools despite worm and giardia treatment. He loved it, and it made his coat shiny. It didn’t help firm up the stools though. On vet’s advice I switched him onto Royal Canin Hypoallergenic food and we had perfect poos within 24 hours. Not a criticism of the food - just that if you suspect a sensitivity, go straight to anallergenic. Zooplus were great and refunded the big bag of GI I bought.
Use a puzzle feeder, kibble size is very small.

Best dry food for dogs with stomach problems
My westie has been on the Gastrointestinal biscuits for a very long time and since he has been on them his stomach issues have improved immensely and he’s overall very fit and well and has bundles of energy even though he’s 10 years old

Excellent dog food
My dogs love this food. After a long period of searching for a dog food that didnt give our whippets an upset stomach, we finally came across Royal Canin gastro intestinal which they tolerate very well. Our dogs are doing very well on it and one had actually now put on a bit oh weight as they were very thin whippets. Highly recommend, edpecially for dogs with dodgy tummies and it actually smells quite pleasant which is a bonus for dog owners too.

Beneficial Gastro intestinal
My vet recommended I keep my Border Collie on the gastrointestinal food and it has made a real difference. As well as the wet version for his main meal I now give him this dry version as a substitute for reduced treats. It is good to be able to give him something with a crunch!

TRANSFORMATIVE
My dog has always had a sensitive stomach and a couple of years ago was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and the vet recommended RC GI 25. My dog experienced the benefits of this virtually immediately, returning at the age of 8 years to her former bouncy puppy-like self. Always a picky eater, she loves this food too!

Great product
My Jackapoo has suffered with bouts of colitis since a pup! Of which I was able to manage but recently it became really bad. My vet suggested this food and so far the colitis has settled down.I will order from Zooplus in the future as the vets pricing was very expensive..... like £7 more .

Excellent product
Highly recommend this product. Our JRT was diagnosed with Pancreatitis and has improved dramatically after we introduced him to this. Also, he really seems to love the taste!

Really good!
I have a labrador with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). It causes very loose stools, diarrhoea and mucus. The vet recommended this diet and it has changed our lives. Now his stools are perfect, he eats it with great gusto and he is noticeably more lively.

Never changing food again!
After trying many many foods this is the only thing that causes my dog to have normal bowel movements. We only planned it as a temporary solution, but it's now her permanent food.
However, we would like to order the low calorie version. This food can make a dog healthy, but also goes onto the hips a little :-)
I hope zooplus offers the low calorie one soon.

The only food that our 11 year old dog could tolerate during his gastritis.

excellent
My dog used to get occasional diarrhea and always had loose poo. Since he's been eating this it's so much better. Sometimes it's worth talking to another vet!

Good product
Very good product for my Cavalier King Charles who has a tendency to have runny poo. No more of that with this food... What's more we're making big savings here compared to the vet's prices!

efficient and economical
My dog is a bit fragile when it comes to her digestion (diarrhea, vomiting, bloat), but since she's been eating this food by itself everything seems to be a lot better! As I have a big dog the 2 x 14kg packs are much more economical

economical
This food was recommended by the vet, but it's stretching my budget... The best price by far was on zooplus in the 2-pack

Brilliant!
I have a boxer with many digestive problems. Since he's had this gastrointestinal diet his health is better than eve, he eats more and digests it better.

Meh
pity it is not cruelty free and pity that it costs too much. but if you do not watch these 2 things, for now it is working.
