Learn moreDescription:
Royal Canin® Gastrointestinal Low Fat Small Dog is a complete diet for adult small breed dogs between 2 – 10kg with gastrointestinal diseases that require fat restriction, including hyperlipidaemia, acute and chronic pancreatitis, and Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). This highly digestible formula has a low fat level with a fibre balance intended to meet energy requirements (despite fat restriction), and the inclusion of prebiotics to support a healthy digestion and transit.
This formula specifically developed for small dogs also helps to support a healthy urinary tract and has a smaller kibble size for smaller jaws.
It is recommended that a veterinarian's opinion be sought before use and that your pet’s feeding program be reviewed every 2 months by a veterinarian.
The length of feeding will depend on the severity of the gastrointestinal signs. Your veterinarian’s advice should be followed.
