11 Aug 2023Good For Dogs With Serious Digestive Issues
My Golden Retriever was diagnosed with pancreatitis about a year ago. He was started on this food and he has had no relapse (knock on wood). He likes the food and eats it eagerly. The transition from his other diet was without issues. The only negative I'd say is the amount of food he needs to maintain his weight. He's a big guy and I feed him three times a day as it is. I try to give him a little extra to supplement the calories. But most importantly it is low fat which is necessary.
He was previously on a food with a higher fat content. I did read a review that indicated someone's dog passed one week after beginning on this food. However the review should be taken with a grain of salt. What was the condition that caused that individual's dog to be prescribed this food? I'm sorry they lost their beloved pet but it is not probable that the food was the final factor. Also this food is not a panacea. If one continues to give high fat foods or treats in addition to feeding this, the dog will still suffer.
This has so far seemed to kept my dog from a pancreatitis relapse. My veterinarian also made sure I understood the illness and chose, for me, treats that were also very low fat so that I was not feeding him other foods that would cause be dangerous for him.

I went to purchase this today and it was over 150 dollars for 24 cans. How does it go up over 28 dollars in one month?

My dog (History of pancreatitis) has eaten this food for about 7 years and hasn't had a single flare-up after I switched to this diet. She seems to love the flavor (I've somehow tricked her into think a single kibble is a treat) and never turns it down. The wet version makes her go crazy. She loves that more than anything else

28 Dec 2021Great Product - Check Label
Our dear miniature Schnauzer has been on the low-fat formula for years to
ease her issues with Pancreatitis and now Diabetes. She was thriving well, few pancreatitis flare-ups, good body condition, happy and otherwise in great shape because of her low-fat diet.
Unfortunately, we have just discovered that we were given the wrong Gastrointestinal
formula, by mistake. My husband thought the bag was different but couldn't figure out how. It turns out that the line "Low Fat" (Dry Dog Food) was missing. There is a difference in fat content between the two versions of Gastrointestinal. Our dog has been under intensive care for over a week now with a flare-up of serious proportions.
The two versions of Gastrointestinal are so easy to mix up. Perhaps Royal Canin could change the photo of the dog on the Low-Fat version and stipulate "Low-Fat Gastrointestinal" for visually motivated people. This may help owners and pooches in the future. A large, red sticker across the front of the bag would help until you can make a proper change to packaging. Vet clinics are so busy these days. We also miss the low fat treats that have now been discontinued. What a shame...

24 Nov 2021Helped my dogs IBD
Ever since I got my dog as puppy she always had stomach issues. We had been to the vet many times to try and figure out the issue. The last blood test resulted in her IBD diagnosis. My vet recommended this dog food, I also got the wet dog food and she also has other medications and not even 7 days she is better! Stool is firm and no more flare ups!
They recommended a low fat diet and if you look out in the market there is very little low fat dog food and or they label it as FAT DOG or WEIGHT MANAGEMENT and she isn’t fat or overweight and it just never helped.
If your dog has IBD and your Vet recommends this dog food, GET IT! Totally worth it!
