FAQs

Do I need a prescription to buy this food?

Yes, this is a veterinary-exclusive diet and requires authorization from a licensed veterinarian.

Can I feed this to a healthy puppy?

This food is formulated for specific medical conditions and should only be fed to puppies if explicitly directed by your veterinarian.

How long will my dog need to stay on this diet?

The duration depends on your dog's specific condition; your veterinarian will determine if it is for short-term recovery or long-term management.

Can I mix this with dry kibble?

Yes, it can be mixed with the corresponding dry version of this diet, provided your veterinarian approves the combination.

Is this food gluten-free?

This formula is designed for fat restriction and digestibility; please review the specific ingredient label on the packaging or consult your vet if your dog has a confirmed grain or gluten allergy.

What is the primary benefit of the low-fat content?

The low-fat content reduces the stimulation of the pancreas, which is critical for dogs suffering from pancreatitis or fat-digestion disorders.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the food

Try warming the food slightly to room temperature or mixing in a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma.

Digestive upset during transition

Slow down the transition period over a longer number of days, ensuring the new food is mixed in smaller increments with the previous diet.

Stool quality does not improve

Consult your veterinarian to ensure no other treats or dietary items are being consumed and to rule out secondary infections or underlying conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When introducing Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal Low Fat, it is recommended to transition your dog over 5-7 days by gradually mixing it with their current food to prevent digestive upset. The food should be served at room temperature to maximize aroma and palatability. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused portion should be covered and refrigerated for up to 48 hours. Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean drinking water at all times. Consult your veterinarian for the specific portion size tailored to your dog's current body weight and medical condition.
