Vet Recommended
My 11 yr tiny tabby, Precious, was off her food for a day and just wasn't herself, I knew something was up. 3 days at my vets, 3 days at UCD Vet Hospital. After numerous tests/scans she was diagnosed with pancreatitis. After medical treatment (antibiotics etc) RC Gastrointestinal was recommended and 3 weeks later she is doing great. Loves the dry (crunches on it day and night), mostly just licks the gravy off the wet.
Perfect for a sensitive tummy
This was recommended by my vet for my 8 month old cat with a sensitive tummy. Along with the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal wet food, this is the only food he can eat without upsetting his tummy. He absolutely loves it! Zooplus is the cheapest I've seen for this food.
Like getting a new cat
One of our rescue cats has always been sick regularly, and has never liked being touched around her tummy.
After she started having loose poos and stopped grooming properly we decided to switch her to this and she's like a new cat - very cuddly and happy with a beautifully glossy coat.
Happy cat, Happier owner
Being a veterinary nurse, I understand the importance of good nutrition and medical management of serious conditions, therefore when my cat started intermittently vomiting and losing weight I took her straight to work. When bloods and further investigations revealed nothing, I transferred her onto this food and I've not looked back since. She's gained over 500g so shes now her ideal weight and there's been no more vomit piles for me to slip in! She loves it and even prefers this to the occasional dreamie! Happy cat, happier owner!

Sorted out his bottom half
This cleared my cats tummy straight up and his stools became normal, however he is sick quite a lot now and the vet can find nothing wrong so going to try sensible cat bisuits instead to see if that helps

Miracle maker
This worked miracles on my cornish rex with IBD. The one and only!
I Cant believe how good it is.
hi i have a kitten who is on this food since 2month or so.
he is only 4month old. when i brough him home the first time i tried all kind of standard food : purina, felix, whiskas and they all gave him dirrehea and vomiting. he i tried, mixing food with kitten milk formula, water , baby foods, rice, etc. everything you can immage and everything i found doing reacherch on the internet. he didnt eat, had direreah, vomit so i took him to the veterinary after 3days because of him dyhadration and waight loss. i paid 150 pound to leave my kitten for 48h at the clicin as i was scared it might be something serious. she prescribed him this diet because of a sensitive stomach. hes been now for 2 month or so on a diet and he loves it. its AMAZING no direrreah, no vomiting, no stomach problems and eat more then i can immage his waight is propery and i wouldnt change his diet for any other. royal canin definitly rock and save my kitten. i still might give him chicken breast, tuna canned in water, beef cooked from time to time as healthy treat but the food is genial.
Fingers crossed
My burmese has suffered for years and years with sensitive stomach with bouts of IBS and diarrhoea. I had tried everything and anything with no success and was losing the will... then.... I tried this.... for two days she has only produced normal stools... i am flabbergasted... I hope it carries on long term as this will be life changing for her and us....
Unfortunately too high fat content for us
For our cat with chronic pancreatic weakness we could only consider the fat-reduced version of this great food (Royal Canin GIM 35). I'd recommend the normal version though, if you have no problems with fat digestion. We would be delighted if the GIM version were available on zooplus soon!
the only thing that helped
My cat suddenly had severe diarrhoea overnight, even though I only feed her high quality, grain free foods. After 3 months experimenting with all the diet foods (the vet was totally clueless), I tried this RC as a last resort and voila, after 2 days a nice normally formed stool! I've never been so happy as after she created this!
We tried then to slowly switch to RC Sensitivity Control, and then also tried the Hypoallergenic one, but both attempts ended again in severe diarrhoea. So we're sticking with Gastro Intestinal for now.
No more diarrhoea!! Super food!!
I love how quick and reliable zooplus is in delivering this food. Since my cat has a food allergy and only tolerates this food, I'm very reliant on zooplus and they've never let me down. Without this food my cat is guaranteed to have diarrhoea. I can recommend it to anyone whose cat has food intolerances or a virus.
Quick acting
My cat had diarrhoea and vomiting for days, and the vet couldn't find anything. With RC Gastro the diarrhoea stopped immediately. It took him a while to get used to normal food again, but we think this food with the easily digestible ingredients and electrolytes really helped. Now he's back to his old self!
Finally cured diharrea
My boy has had chronic diharrea problems all his life with blood and mucus, cleared for any underlying problems at the vets he's 5 years old and I was running out of ways to help him, I put him onto a raw diet and this completely cured his problem for the first time in his life, I then tried this food in the hope I may be able to wean him back onto a dry food as the rest of my cats are fed a dry diet, this has worked wonders! He's even more solid than when he was on exclusively raw, he has the odd day with some irritation to his digestion but this has really worked wonders! He's now happy and healthy and 100% improved after five long years! If you have a cat with a chronic bowel condition this is certainly worth trying, yes it's expensive but the health of my cat is far more important than the cost of his diet, worth every penny
