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 her nutritional needs, and Royal Canin specifically formulated this diet to help do so.

This palatable, digestible kitten food supports digestive health with high fat and calorie content, so you can feed your growing kitten small portions to support her sensitive stomach. A combination of highly digestible proteins and prebiotics helps maintain the balance of good bacteria in the gut. A blend of dietary fibers supports healthy digestion for optimal stool quality. Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, from fish oil, help soothe the GI tract. To ease your kitten’s transition into adult food, this kibble is easily rehydratable with a little bit of warm water. Complement your kitten's diet with Royal Canin Feline Gastrointestinal Kitten Ultra Soft Mousse in Sauce canned cat food.

This therapeutic kitten diet utilizes a high-energy nutritional strategy to support the developing digestive system. It is a veterinary-authorized diet frequently considered for kittens presented with digestive challenges or poor nutrient absorption during their growth phase.

This is a veterinary-authorized therapeutic diet formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional adequacy standards. It requires authorization from a licensed veterinarian and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

At a nutritional level, it manages digestive stress by providing highly digestible proteins and prebiotics to support a healthy microbial balance. Commonly observed effects include improved stool quality and steady weight gain. Because kittens have high metabolic demands, your veterinarian will monitor for observational signs of growth. Owners should follow a strict feeding schedule and avoid unapproved treats.

Do I need a prescription for kitten food?

While it is a food product, Royal Canin Veterinary Diets require professional authorization from a licensed veterinarian. Mixlab verifies this before preparing your order.

Why is this specific for kittens?

Veterinarians discuss this formula because kittens need higher energy and protein levels for growth, which adult gastrointestinal diets may not provide.

Does this help with diarrhea?

This diet includes fermentable fibers and prebiotics that may be considered in the context of managing stool consistency and supporting gut health.

How long should my kitten eat this?

Your veterinarian will determine the necessary duration based on your kitten's digestive recovery and age milestones.

Can I mix this with wet food?

Yes, if authorized by your veterinarian. Mixing with the matching wet gastrointestinal kitten formula can help increase hydration.
