Description

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Kitten is a complete dietetic feed specifically developed by veterinary experts to manage digestive sensitivities in growing kittens. Kittens are naturally prone to gastrointestinal upsets due to their immature digestive systems; this formula addresses those needs with a highly digestible blend of proteins and balanced fibers, including prebiotics, to ensure optimal stool quality and digestive transit.

Because kittens require significant energy for their rapid development, this diet features a high energy density, allowing them to receive full nutritional support even in smaller meal portions. The kibble is uniquely designed to be easily rehydrated with warm water, which helps stimulate the appetite of fussy eaters and facilitates the transition from milk to solid food.

Features

Digestive Support: A highly digestible formula with a balanced mix of soluble and insoluble fibers, including prebiotics, to support healthy digestion and transit.
Optimal Growth Support: Contains high levels of essential nutrients, including adapted protein and calcium, to meet the intense demands of a growing kitten’s skeleton and muscles.
Microbiome Support: Formulated with selected prebiotics to encourage a healthy balance of beneficial gut bacteria.
Rehydratable Kibble: Kibble can be soaked to create a soft texture, making it easier for young kittens or those with decreased appetites to consume.
High Energy Density: Provides adequate calories in smaller volumes to reduce the intestinal load and accommodate sensitive stomachs.

Benefits

Convalescence Support: Ideal for nutritional restoration after surgery or illness, helping kittens regain strength quickly.
Manages Digestive Signs: Effectively helps reduce visible gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, vomiting, and lack of appetite.
Urinary Health: Features the S/O Index to promote a healthy urinary environment and reduce the risk of crystal formation.
Supports Natural Defenses: Enriched with a synergistic complex of antioxidants to support the developing immune system.
Gentle Weaning: The soft, rehydratable nature of the kibble makes the move from mother’s milk to solid food smooth and stress-free.

How to Use

Veterinary Consultation: Always consult your veterinarian before starting this therapeutic diet and for regular check-ups.
Feeding Schedule: Refer to the feeding guide for daily amounts based on the kitten’s age and expected adult weight.
Transition Period: Introduce the food gradually over a 7-day period to avoid further digestive upset (start with 25% new food and 75% old food).
Rehydration: To rehydrate, add warm water to the measured dry kibble, stir, and allow it to sit for a few minutes until soft before serving.
Fresh Water: Ensure fresh, clean drinking water is always available to maintain hydration, especially for kittens with digestive issues.
