Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie (Adult, Dry) is a dry kibble in Royal Canin's veterinary exclusive lineup, sold as a 22 lb bag. 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 brewers rice flour, chicken by product meal, corn, brewers rice, and natural flavors. At 305 kilocalories per cup this recipe is lower in calorie density than the base Gastrointestinal formula's 394 kilocalories per cup, and its crude fat guarantee of 9.0 percent minimum sits below the base recipe's 18.0 percent. 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.
