PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Puppy is a complete dietetic dry feed for puppies from weaning to adulthood, formulated to reduce acute intestinal absorptive disorders and promote nutritional restoration and convalescence. This highly digestible formula features 63.3% highly digestible protein sources and 14.3% highly digestible fat sources, with a protein content of 29% and fat content of 22%, providing high energy density (4235 kcal/kg) to meet the demands of growing puppies while reducing intestinal load. Enriched with balanced fibres including prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides and manno-oligosaccharides), the formula supports healthy digestion, transit, and a balanced gastrointestinal microbiome.
