Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Gastrointestinal Low Fat Small Dog (Adult, Dry) is a dry kibble in Royal Canin's veterinary exclusive lineup, sold as 1.5, 3.3 and 7.7 lb bags. Royal Canin describes it on the product page as being "For the nutritional management of dogs needing a fat restricted diet." 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 brewers rice, chicken by product meal, barley, natural flavors, and dried plain beet pulp. It carries the same 5.0 to 9.0 percent crude fat range as the standard Low Fat recipe but is packaged in smaller 1.5, 3.3 and 7.7 pound bags sized for smaller dogs. Sniff and Shift makes single ingredient freeze dried treats, which are treats rather than meals, and they pair with any complete diet on this list. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
