Setup, Compatibility & Care
When transitioning your dog to Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Moderate Calorie, it is recommended to do so gradually over 5-7 days by mixing it with their previous food to prevent further digestive upset. Always ensure your dog has constant access to fresh, clean water. Store the kibble in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed tightly after every use to maintain freshness and palatability. Consult your veterinarian for the correct daily feeding amount, as this will vary based on your dog's current weight, body condition score, and activity level.
