What is Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Feline Gastrointestinal Kitten Dry Cat Food?
Kittens are naturally prone to digestive sensitivities due to their immature and underdeveloped digestive system. If a kitten is experiencing an upset stomach, daily feedings can be a struggle. Visible gastrointestinal signs may appear in a kitten with digestive sensitivities which could include diarrhea, vomiting or lack of appetite. It is important for your kitten to receive a complete and balanced diet to meet their nutritional needs, and Royal Canin specifically formulated this diet to help do so.
This veterinary exclusive formula requires a prescription. Consult your veterinarian for more information about this product for your pet.
