ROYAL CANIN GASTRO DOG DRY FOOD [2 KG]

What Is Royal Canin Gastro Dog Dry Food 2kg?

Royal Canin Gastro Dog Dry Food 2kg is officially named Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Dry Dog Food. It is a complete veterinary diet formulated to support dogs with gastrointestinal sensitivities, acute intestinal absorption problems and nutritional recovery.

Its highly digestible ingredients, balanced fibres and prebiotics support digestion, intestinal transit and a balanced gut environment. Its high energy density allows dogs to receive the required calories through a smaller food quantity, while its highly palatable formula encourages eating when appetite has decreased.

Important Formula Distinction

This product is the standard Gastrointestinal dry formula. It is not Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat.

The standard formula contains 20% fat and is designed to provide high energy through a smaller meal volume. Royal Canin states that it is not suitable for dogs with pancreatitis or a history of pancreatitis, hyperlipidaemia, lymphangiectasia or exudative enteropathy. These conditions may require the separate Gastrointestinal Low Fat formula.

Animeal’s current product description incorrectly refers to this standard 2kg formula as low fat. That claim should be removed before publication.

Who Is This For?

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Dog Dry Food may be prescribed when:

• Your dog has acute or recurring diarrhoea.
• Your dog is recovering after an episode of diarrhoea.
• Your dog has gastritis diagnosed by a veterinarian.
• Your dog has difficulty digesting or absorbing nutrients.
• Your dog has maldigestion or malabsorption.
• Your dog has inflammatory bowel disease or colitis.
• Your dog has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and the veterinarian considers this standard formula suitable.
• Your dog has reduced appetite during illness or recovery.
• Your dog is being reintroduced to food after surgery.
• Your dog needs highly digestible, energy-dense food that reduces meal volume.
• Your veterinarian wants nutritional restoration during convalescence.

Royal Canin identifies uses including acute and chronic diarrhoea, gastritis, maldigestion, malabsorption, inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, reduced appetite, post-surgical refeeding, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and certain acute liver conditions. Suitability depends on the individual diagnosis.

Do Not Use Without Specific Veterinary Approval When:

• Your dog has pancreatitis.
• Your dog has previously experienced pancreatitis.
• Your dog has hyperlipidaemia or elevated blood-fat levels.
• Your dog has lymphangiectasia.
• Your dog has exudative or protein-losing enteropathy requiring fat restriction.
• Your veterinarian has prescribed a specifically low-fat diet.

These dogs may require Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat or another therapeutic formula instead.

Do not choose this diet based only on vomiting, loose stools, gas or appetite changes. Parasites, infections, toxins, foreign-body obstruction, pancreatitis, food reactions and other illnesses can produce similar signs.

Key Nutritional Benefits

Digestive Support

Highly digestible ingredients, balanced fibres and prebiotics support digestion, intestinal transit and a healthy digestive environment.

High Energy Density

The formula’s high energy content reduces the quantity of food needed to provide daily calories. A smaller meal volume may help decrease intestinal workload in dogs with sensitive digestion.

High Palatability

The kibble is designed to encourage food acceptance in dogs experiencing decreased appetite during illness, digestive upset or recovery.

Nutritional Restoration

Increased electrolytes and concentrated essential nutrients support nutritional restoration during and after acute intestinal absorption problems.

Microbiome Support

Fructo-oligosaccharides, manno-oligosaccharides, beet pulp and psyllium support beneficial intestinal bacteria and balanced gastrointestinal transit.

How to Use It

Feed Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Dog Dry Food only under the guidance of a qualified veterinarian.

Measure your dog’s complete daily quantity with a kitchen scale and divide it into several smaller meals. Smaller, measured portions may be easier for a sensitive digestive system to manage than one large meal.

Keep clean drinking water available throughout the day. Dogs experiencing vomiting or diarrhoea can become dehydrated quickly.

Do not add ghee, oil, milk, curd, table scraps, rich meat, ordinary treats, broth or supplements unless your veterinarian approves them. Additional foods can increase fat, alter digestibility or interfere with the prescribed nutritional plan.

When combining Gastrointestinal dry and wet food, reduce both portions according to a veterinarian-approved mixed-feeding calculation. Do not combine the complete dry-food allowance with the complete wet-food allowance.

Transitioning to a New Food

Royal Canin recommends transitioning gradually over approximately 7–10 days. A veterinarian may recommend a faster or different schedule when your dog has acute diarrhoea, is recovering from surgery or requires immediate nutritional support.

Unless your veterinarian gives different instructions:

Days 1–2: 75% current food + 25% Royal Canin Gastrointestinal

Days 3–4: 50% current food + 50% Royal Canin Gastrointestinal

Days 5–6: 25% current food + 75% Royal Canin Gastrointestinal

Day 7 onwards: 100% Royal Canin Gastrointestinal

A gradual transition helps reduce digestive upset. Contact your veterinarian if vomiting or diarrhoea worsens, your dog refuses food or the transition cannot be completed.

Recommended Feeding Period

Royal Canin recommends feeding Gastrointestinal Dry Food for 1–2 weeks during and after acute diarrhoea until normal restoration is achieved.

Longer feeding may be recommended for chronic digestive disorders, maldigestion, malabsorption or convalescence. The veterinarian should determine the duration and reassess the dog’s response periodically.

Feeding Guide

The quantities below are Royal Canin’s approximate daily dry-food recommendations.

Use these quantities as starting points. Your veterinarian may adjust the portion according to:

• Current and target body weight
• Body condition
• Severity of digestive signs
• Appetite
• Hydration status
• Activity level
• Recovery stage
• Treat intake
• Whether wet food is also being fed
• Other medical conditions

Use the feeding guide printed on the physical Indian pack as the final reference.

What is the official product name?

The official product name is Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Dry Dog Food.

“Royal Canin Gastro Dog Dry Food” is Animeal’s abbreviated catalogue title.

Is this a veterinary prescription diet?

Yes. Royal Canin classifies it as a veterinary-exclusive formula.

Use it only after a veterinarian confirms that the standard Gastrointestinal formula is appropriate for your dog’s digestive condition.

Is this the same as Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat?

No. The standard Gastrointestinal formula contains 20% fat and provides high energy through a smaller meal volume.

Gastrointestinal Low Fat is a separate formula intended for dogs requiring dietary fat restriction.

Can a dog with pancreatitis eat this food?

Royal Canin states that the standard Gastrointestinal formula is not suitable for dogs with pancreatitis or a previous history of pancreatitis.

A dog with pancreatitis may require Gastrointestinal Low Fat or another diet specifically chosen by the veterinarian.

Does this food stop diarrhoea immediately?

No. It provides nutritional support and does not treat every cause of diarrhoea.

Parasites, infections, toxins, foreign objects, pancreatic disease and inflammatory conditions may require tests, fluids or medication.

How long should my dog eat this food?

Royal Canin recommends feeding it for 1–2 weeks during and after acute diarrhoea until recovery is achieved.

Longer feeding should follow veterinary advice according to the underlying diagnosis and the dog’s response.

Can Royal Canin Gastrointestinal replace medicine?

No. It does not replace deworming, antibiotics, anti-nausea medication, pancreatic enzymes, fluids or other treatment prescribed by a veterinarian.

Can puppies eat Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Dry Food?

Royal Canin includes weaning diarrhoea among the situations in which its Gastrointestinal formula may be used.

However, puppies have specific growth requirements and can become dehydrated or develop low blood glucose quickly. Use this food for a puppy only when a veterinarian confirms the amount and duration.

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

Yes, when the veterinarian approves mixed feeding.

Reduce both portions so your dog receives the correct total calories and therapeutic nutritional balance.

Is this suitable for overweight dogs?

The standard formula is energy-dense and is not designed as a weight-loss food.

Royal Canin provides a reduced feeding quantity for overweight dogs, but the veterinarian must decide whether the standard high-energy formula is appropriate.

Can I give treats while feeding this diet?

Only provide treats approved by your veterinarian.

Rich treats, oily foods and table scraps may worsen gastrointestinal signs or interfere with the prescribed diet.

What should I do if my dog refuses to eat?

Contact your veterinarian if appetite remains poor or occurs with repeated vomiting, pain, weakness or dehydration.

Dogs recovering from illness or surgery may require anti-nausea treatment, pain relief, fluid therapy or assisted feeding.

When are vomiting and diarrhoea an emergency?

Seek urgent veterinary care when signs are repeated or occur with blood, severe weakness, collapse, abdominal swelling, pain, pale gums, inability to retain water or suspected toxin or foreign-object ingestion.

Puppies, senior dogs and dogs with diabetes can deteriorate more quickly.
