Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Puppy Wet Food is designed to be a complete and balanced meal for puppies requiring dietary management for conditions such as acute diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, maldigestion, or malabsorption. It helps to alleviate digestive stress, support nutrient absorption, and promote recovery of the intestinal lining. It should be fed exclusively or as directed by your veterinarian as part of a therapeutic plan. Its wet formulation also contributes to hydration, which is vital for puppies recovering from digestive upset. Always ensure fresh water is available.
Storage: Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
Serving: Serve at room temperature. If refrigerated, allow the food to warm up slightly before feeding. Open cans should be covered and refrigerated, and any unused portion should be discarded after 24-48 hours.
Feeding Guidelines: The exact amount to feed your puppy will depend on their age, weight, activity level, and specific medical condition. Always follow your veterinarian's precise feeding recommendations. Do not free-feed; stick to scheduled meals.
Compatibility: This is a therapeutic diet. Do not mix with other puppy foods or supplements without explicit guidance from your veterinarian, as this could dilute its effectiveness or introduce ingredients that worsen your puppy's condition. Ensure your puppy transitions to this food gradually over several days if they were previously on a different diet, following your vet's advice.
