Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Gastrointestinal (Adult, Dry) is a dry kibble in Royal Canin's veterinary exclusive lineup, sold as 8.8 lb and 22 lb bags. Royal Canin describes it on the product page as "Complete and balanced food for adult dogs." Royal Canin states that this veterinary formula "is available at select retailers and veterinary clinics" and that a buyer should "find a trusted partner to purchase it if you have a prescription." Ingredients on a pet food label are ordered by pre cooking weight, so the first five on this label are chicken by product meal, brown rice, corn, brewers rice, and chicken fat. This base Gastrointestinal recipe carries 394 kilocalories per cup, and Royal Canin sells related formulas from the same product line including a Low Fat version, a Moderate Calorie version, a High Fiber version, and a small breed Low Fat recipe, each with its own guaranteed analysis. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
