What Is Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat Small Dog Dry Food?

If your small dog has pancreatitis, chronic digestive problems, or requires a fat-restricted diet, Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat Small Dog Dry Food is a complete veterinary prescription diet formulated specifically for small breed dogs weighing between 2–10 kg. This low fat dog food for pancreatitis contains highly digestible proteins, balanced fibres, prebiotics, and essential fatty acids to support digestive health while limiting dietary fat intake. It is commonly recommended by veterinarians for dogs with pancreatitis, hyperlipidaemia, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), and chronic gastrointestinal disorders.

Who Is This For?

This veterinary diet is commonly used for small dogs experiencing:

• Your dog has been diagnosed with acute or chronic pancreatitis
• Your dog develops vomiting or diarrhoea after eating regular food
• Your veterinarian has recommended a fat-restricted diet
• Your dog has hyperlipidaemia (abnormally high blood fat levels)
• Your dog has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), meaning the pancreas cannot produce enough digestive enzymes
• Your dog experiences chronic digestive sensitivity or recurrent loose stools
• Your dog has lymphangiectasia or protein-losing enteropathy
• Your small breed dog requires long-term digestive support with controlled fat intake

Composition — What's In It?

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat Small Dog uses highly digestible ingredients and controlled fat levels to support dogs requiring dietary fat restriction.

• Rice:- a highly digestible carbohydrate source that provides energy while remaining gentle on sensitive digestive systems.
• Dehydrated poultry proteins:- provide concentrated, highly digestible protein to help maintain muscle mass without placing excess strain on digestion.
• Hydrolysed animal proteins:- proteins broken into smaller fragments that are easier to digest and less likely to trigger digestive sensitivity.
• Psyllium husks and balanced dietary fibre:- help regulate intestinal movement and improve stool quality.
• Fructo-oligosaccharides (prebiotics):- beneficial fibres that nourish healthy intestinal bacteria and support gut health.
• Fish oil with Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA):- help support gastrointestinal health and reduce inflammatory responses within the digestive tract.
• Manno-oligosaccharides (beneficial yeast-derived compounds):- support intestinal barrier function and healthy gut microbiota.
• Vitamin E and antioxidants:- help protect cells from oxidative stress associated with chronic digestive disease.

How to Use It

Feed this food exactly as recommended by your veterinarian. The daily amount should be divided into multiple small meals whenever possible, especially for dogs recovering from pancreatitis.

Always provide fresh drinking water.

Most small breed dogs readily accept the smaller kibble size. If your dog is reluctant to eat, you can soften the kibble with warm water before feeding.

Transitioning to a New Food

Days 1–2: 75% current food + 25% new food

Days 3–4: 50% current food + 50% new food

Days 5–6: 25% current food + 75% new food

Day 7+: 100% new food

A slow transition helps reduce digestive upset. If your dog develops diarrhea, vomiting, or food refusal, slow the transition and consult your veterinarian.
