Royal Canin Veterinary Cat - Gastrointestinal in Gravy - 12 x 85g

The 'S/O index' indicates that the diet is formulated to create a urinary environment unfavorable for the formation of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals, common causes of urinary stones in cats. This helps support overall urinary tract health and can prevent associated complications.

No, this is a veterinary diet specifically formulated for cats with gastrointestinal issues, absorption problems, or those in convalescence. It should only be fed under veterinary supervision and is not suitable for healthy cats as a general maintenance diet, as their nutritional needs differ.

The duration of feeding should be determined by your veterinarian. They will assess your cat's condition and advise on the appropriate feeding period, which may vary depending on the specific digestive issue or recovery phase. Regular check-ups are essential.

The product description primarily focuses on adult cats with specific needs. While there is a 'Gastrointestinal Puppy Wet Food' variant for dogs, suitability for kittens is not specified for this cat product. Always consult your veterinarian before feeding this product to a kitten, as their nutritional requirements are unique and critical for growth.

It is specifically formulated to be suitable for mixing with Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal dry food for cats. Mixing with other dry foods is not recommended unless explicitly advised by your veterinarian, as it might alter the diet's therapeutic benefits and potentially upset your cat's digestive system.

This food is designed with highly digestible, low-fat ingredients to be gentle on sensitive stomachs and aid absorption. Its high palatability also helps encourage eating. However, if your cat's sensitivity persists or worsens, consult your vet for further guidance, as additional medical assessment might be needed.

Warm the food slightly to enhance its aroma. Offer a small portion initially and ensure the environment is calm. If still refused, consult your vet as appetite loss can indicate underlying issues, or they may recommend alternative feeding strategies or diets.

Immediately stop feeding and contact your veterinarian. Worsening symptoms or lack of improvement suggests the current diet may not be suitable, or there's another underlying health concern that needs urgent attention.

This could indicate an adverse reaction or an unsuitable diet for your cat's specific condition. Discontinue feeding and seek immediate veterinary advice to reassess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.
