PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Royal Canin Veterinary Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie is a complete dietetic dry food formulated for the reduction of acute intestinal absorptive disorders and as compensation for maldigestion in adult dogs, with a moderate calorie content to help limit weight gain. The formula features highly digestible protein (23%) from dehydrated poultry proteins and egg powder, with a moderate fat content of 11% to support dogs prone to weight gain. Enriched with a balance of soluble and insoluble fibres including psyllium husks and seeds, beet pulp, and fructo-oligosaccharides (0.5%) to support healthy digestion and intestinal transit. The increased electrolyte levels (sodium 0.50%, potassium 0.7%) help compensate for nutrient losses. Contains EPA/DHA (0.37%) from fish oil and algal oil (Schizochytrium sp.) for additional support, taurine (1.5 g/kg), and manno-oligosaccharides from yeast for microbiome support. Features L.I.P. proteins selected for very high digestibility.
