FAQs

Is this food suitable for all puppies?

No, Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Puppy Wet Food is a veterinary therapeutic diet. It is specifically formulated for puppies with diagnosed gastrointestinal issues and should only be fed under the guidance and recommendation of a veterinarian.

How long should my puppy stay on this diet?

The duration of feeding this diet depends on your puppy's specific condition and your veterinarian's recommendation. Some puppies may need it short-term for acute issues, while others may require it long-term for chronic conditions.

Can I mix this wet food with Royal Canin Gastrointestinal dry puppy food?

Mixing veterinary diets should only be done under the explicit guidance of your veterinarian. They can advise on appropriate ratios and ensure the combined diet still meets your puppy's specific therapeutic needs without causing dietary imbalance.

What if my puppy is pregnant or lactating?

This diet is specifically formulated for growing puppies. If your puppy is pregnant or lactating, their nutritional needs will be different. Please consult your veterinarian for appropriate dietary recommendations during these life stages.

How should I transition my puppy to this new food?

A gradual transition over 7-10 days is generally recommended to avoid further digestive upset. Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with the old food, gradually increasing the proportion of the new food each day, while decreasing the old. Always follow your vet's specific transition plan.

Is this food complete and balanced for puppies?

Yes, when fed as directed by a veterinarian, Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Puppy Wet Food is formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition for growing puppies with gastrointestinal sensitivities.

Troubleshooting

Puppy refuses to eat the food.

Ensure the food is served at room temperature. Try adding a tiny amount of warm water or a vet-approved bland topper if permitted by your veterinarian. Offer in a quiet, stress-free environment. If refusal persists, contact your veterinarian as it could indicate worsening health.

Puppy's gastrointestinal symptoms persist or worsen.

This diet is a part of a treatment plan. If symptoms do not improve or get worse, contact your veterinarian immediately. They may need to reassess the diagnosis or adjust the treatment.

Concern about appropriate portion size.

Always follow the feeding guidelines provided by your veterinarian. If you are unsure, do not adjust the portion size without consulting your vet, as underfeeding can lead to nutritional deficiencies and overfeeding can exacerbate GI issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Targeted Digestive Health: Addresses common GI issues directly, aiding recovery and maintenance.
  • Complete for Puppies: Ensures proper growth without nutrient deficiencies.
  • Palatable Wet Texture: Often preferred by puppies, especially those feeling unwell or with dental issues.
  • Easy to Serve: Pre-portioned cans simplify feeding management.
  • Veterinarian Recommended: Formulated based on veterinary nutritional science.

Cons

  • Requires Veterinary Consultation: Not an over-the-counter food; a vet's diagnosis and recommendation are essential.
  • Specific Diet: May not be suitable for puppies without gastrointestinal issues.
  • Cost: Veterinary diets can be more expensive than standard puppy foods.
  • Limited Flavor Options: Typically available in one specific formulation/flavor.
  • Storage: Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
  • Serving: Serve at room temperature. If refrigerated, allow the food to warm up slightly before feeding. Open cans should be covered and refrigerated, and any unused portion should be discarded after 24-48 hours.
  • Feeding Guidelines: The exact amount to feed your puppy will depend on their age, weight, activity level, and specific medical condition. Always follow your veterinarian's precise feeding recommendations. Do not free-feed; stick to scheduled meals.
  • Compatibility: This is a therapeutic diet. Do not mix with other puppy foods or supplements without explicit guidance from your veterinarian, as this could dilute its effectiveness or introduce ingredients that worsen your puppy's condition. Ensure your puppy transitions to this food gradually over several days if they were previously on a different diet, following your vet's advice.
