ROYAL CANIN GASTRO L.F DOG DRY FOOD [1.5 KG]

What Is Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat Dry Food 1.5kg?

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat Dry Food 1.5kg is a complete veterinary diet for adult dogs with gastrointestinal conditions that require dietary fat restriction.

The formula contains 7% fat, highly digestible ingredients, balanced fibres and prebiotics. It supports healthy digestion and intestinal transit while providing maintenance nutrition despite the restricted fat level.

This is different from standard Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Dry Food, which contains 20% fat and is designed as a high-energy gastrointestinal formula. The two products must not be treated as interchangeable.

Who Is This For?

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat may be prescribed when:

• Your adult dog has acute pancreatitis.
• Your dog has chronic or recurring pancreatitis.
• Your dog has previously experienced pancreatitis and needs continued dietary fat restriction.
• Your dog has hyperlipidaemia or abnormally elevated blood-fat levels.
• Your dog has lymphangiectasia.
• Your dog has exudative or protein-losing enteropathy requiring controlled fat intake.
• Your dog has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and the veterinarian considers a low-fat diet appropriate.
• Your dog has delayed gastric emptying or oesophagitis.
• Your dog has acute or chronic diarrhoea associated with a condition requiring fat restriction.
• Your veterinarian has specifically prescribed a highly digestible, low-fat gastrointestinal diet.

Royal Canin identifies hyperlipidaemia, acute and chronic pancreatitis, lymphangiectasia, exudative enteropathy, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, delayed gastric emptying, oesophagitis and certain cases of diarrhoea among the conditions for which this veterinary diet may be appropriate.

Do not select this diet based only on vomiting, diarrhoea, gas or reduced appetite. Parasites, infections, food reactions, intestinal obstruction, liver disease and other medical conditions can cause similar signs and may require a different diet or treatment plan.

Who Should Not Eat This Food?

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat is not formulated for:

• Growing puppies
• Pregnant dogs
• Nursing dogs
• Healthy adult dogs that do not require fat restriction
• Dogs whose veterinarian has prescribed another gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic or hydrolysed-protein formula

Royal Canin states that this adult veterinary formula is not suitable for growth, gestation or lactation.

Composition — What’s In It?

• Rice — provides a highly digestible carbohydrate source for daily energy.
• Dehydrated poultry protein — provides concentrated animal protein and essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.
• Wheat and barley — provide digestible carbohydrates and contribute to the controlled-energy nutritional profile.
• Hydrolysed animal proteins — proteins broken into smaller fragments to support digestibility and improve palatability.
• Beet pulp — provides fermentable dietary fibre that supports stool quality and digestive balance.
• Animal fats — are included in a controlled quantity to provide essential energy and fatty acids while maintaining the formula’s low-fat profile.
• Yeast products — contribute nutrients and compounds that support the complete veterinary formula.
• Fish oil — supplies EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids that support normal digestive and cellular function.
• Psyllium husks and seeds — provide soluble, gel-forming fibre that supports balanced intestinal transit.
• Fructo-oligosaccharides — prebiotics that nourish beneficial intestinal bacteria.
• Hydrolysed yeast — provides manno-oligosaccharides, which support a balanced intestinal microbiome.
• Marigold extract — supplies lutein, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from everyday oxidative stress.
• Mono- and diglycerides esterified with citric acid — technological ingredients used to support the consistency and stability of the food.

Royal Canin India lists rice, dehydrated poultry protein, wheat, barley, hydrolysed animal proteins, beet pulp, controlled animal fat, fish oil, psyllium, fructo-oligosaccharides, hydrolysed yeast and marigold extract in the current formula.

Key Nutritional Benefits

Low Fat

The formula contains 7% fat and is specifically designed for adult dogs requiring strict dietary fat restriction.

This makes it nutritionally different from the standard Royal Canin Gastrointestinal formula, which contains 20% fat.

Digestive Support

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

Fibre Balance

The formula uses a limited, carefully balanced fibre level to support gastrointestinal function while still allowing adequate maintenance energy despite fat restriction.

Lipid-Metabolism Support

Royal Canin formulates this diet to support lipid metabolism in dogs with hyperlipidaemia. It contains a low fat level together with essential fatty acids.

Prebiotic Support

Fructo-oligosaccharides and manno-oligosaccharides provide nutritional support for beneficial intestinal bacteria and a balanced microbiome.

How to Use It

Feed Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat only under the guidance of a qualified veterinarian.

Measure the complete daily quantity with a kitchen scale and divide it into several small meals. Smaller, measured meals can help reduce digestive workload and avoid a large amount of food entering the gastrointestinal tract at one time.

Keep clean drinking water available throughout the day.

Do not add ghee, butter, oil, cheese, cream, fatty meat, skin, organ meat, table scraps, rich gravy, regular biscuits or high-fat chews. Even small additions can significantly increase the total fat intake and interfere with a medically prescribed low-fat diet.

Do not replace this food with standard Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Dry Food without veterinary approval. The standard formula has a much higher fat content and serves a different nutritional purpose.

When mixed feeding is approved, use only a compatible low-fat wet formula and reduce both portions according to the veterinarian’s calculation.

Transitioning to a New Food

Royal Canin recommends transitioning between diets gradually over approximately 7–10 days. Your veterinarian may recommend a different schedule when the dog is recovering from acute pancreatitis or another serious gastrointestinal condition.

Unless your veterinarian provides another plan:

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

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

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

Day 7 onwards: 100% Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat

A slow transition helps reduce digestive upset. If your dog develops worsening vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort or refuses food, stop making further changes and contact your veterinarian.

Recommended Feeding Period

Royal Canin recommends initially feeding Gastrointestinal Low Fat for up to two months in cases of hyperlipidaemia.

The diet may be prescribed for a shorter, longer or lifelong period depending on the underlying condition. Royal Canin recommends veterinary review before extending its use, and regional guidance recommends reviewing the feeding plan approximately every two months.

Dogs with recurrent pancreatitis, persistent hyperlipidaemia, lymphangiectasia or another chronic fat-sensitive condition may require long-term fat restriction. Do not return to regular food without veterinary approval.

Feeding Guide

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

Use these quantities as starting points. The veterinarian may adjust the daily serving according to:

• Current and target body weight
• Body-condition score
• Severity of the gastrointestinal condition
• Blood triglyceride or cholesterol results
• Pancreatitis history
• Activity level
• Neutering status
• Treat intake
• Whether compatible wet food is also being fed
• Other medical conditions

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

Common Questions

What does “Gastro L.F” mean?

“Gastro L.F” means Gastrointestinal Low Fat.

It is Animeal’s shortened catalogue name for Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat Veterinary Dog Food.

Is Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat a prescription diet?

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

It should be fed only when a veterinarian confirms that your dog requires a medically controlled low-fat diet.

Is this suitable for dogs with pancreatitis?

It may be prescribed for acute or chronic pancreatitis because it is formulated for dogs requiring dietary fat restriction.

The veterinarian must still determine when feeding should begin, how much should be given and whether other treatment is required.

Does this food treat pancreatitis by itself?

No. It provides nutritional support and does not replace veterinary treatment.

Dogs with pancreatitis may also require fluids, pain relief, anti-nausea medication, monitoring and treatment of any underlying cause.

What is the difference between Gastrointestinal and Gastrointestinal Low Fat?

Standard Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Dry Food contains 20% fat and is energy-dense to reduce meal volume.

Gastrointestinal Low Fat contains 7% fat and is specifically formulated for dogs whose disease requires fat restriction. The products must not be substituted for one another without veterinary approval.

Can this food be used for hyperlipidaemia?

Yes. Royal Canin specifically formulates this diet to support lipid metabolism in cases of hyperlipidaemia.

The manufacturer recommends an initial feeding period of up to two months, followed by veterinary reassessment.

Can this food be used for lymphangiectasia?

Royal Canin includes lymphangiectasia and exudative enteropathy among the conditions that may require this fat-restricted diet.

These are serious conditions requiring veterinary diagnosis, blood tests and ongoing monitoring.

Can a dog with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency eat this food?

It may be appropriate for some dogs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.

Many affected dogs also require pancreatic-enzyme supplementation and vitamin monitoring. The veterinarian must decide whether this low-fat formula matches the individual dog’s needs.

Is this food grain-free?

No. The formula contains rice, wheat and barley.

Can puppies eat Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat?

No. This formula is designed for adult dogs and is not formulated to support normal puppy growth.

A puppy requiring fat restriction needs an individually planned veterinary diet that also meets growth-stage nutritional requirements.

Can pregnant or nursing dogs eat this food?

No. Royal Canin lists gestation and lactation among the situations for which this formula is not suitable.

Can I give treats while feeding this diet?

Only give treats approved by the veterinarian managing your dog’s condition.

Regular treats, dental chews, cheese, fatty meat, peanut butter and table scraps may increase the daily fat intake and interfere with the prescribed diet.

Can I mix it with home-cooked chicken and rice?

Do not add home-cooked food unless a veterinary nutritionist has calculated the complete diet.

Chicken skin, dark meat, cooking oil and inaccurate portions may increase fat intake, while plain chicken and rice alone do not provide complete long-term nutrition.

Can this food help my dog lose weight?

It is a low-fat gastrointestinal diet, not a dedicated weight-loss diet.

Weight changes depend on the complete calorie intake and measured feeding quantity. Dogs needing therapeutic weight loss may require a different veterinary formula.

How long should my dog remain on this food?

The duration depends on the diagnosis.

Royal Canin recommends initially feeding it for up to two months in hyperlipidaemia. Dogs with chronic or recurring fat-sensitive disease may require longer or lifelong feeding under veterinary supervision.

What should I do if my dog refuses the food?

Contact your veterinarian before replacing it with a richer or higher-fat food.

Persistent appetite loss—especially with vomiting, abdominal pain, weakness or dehydration—requires prompt veterinary attention.

When is pancreatitis or digestive illness an emergency?

Seek urgent veterinary care if your dog has repeated vomiting, severe abdominal pain, a hunched posture, marked weakness, collapse, dehydration, pale gums or refuses both food and water.

A food change alone is not adequate for severe or rapidly worsening signs.
