Royal Canin Digestive Care covers adult cats and dogs with everyday digestive sensitivity, the loose and inconsistent stools that plenty of otherwise healthy pets produce. Like the rest of the retail range it is a daily food, not a veterinary diet, and PeekAPaw does not stock Royal Canin Gastrointestinal or any prescription formula. Ongoing diarrhoea, weight loss, vomiting or blood belongs with your vet.

The formulation rests on two things. Highly digestible L.I.P. proteins are selected so more protein is absorbed in the small intestine and less arrives in the colon to be fermented, which is where a lot of soft stool comes from. Alongside them sits a blend of prebiotics with soluble and insoluble fibres, including psyllium, to support a balanced intestinal flora and steadier transit. Royal Canin reports over 95% healthy stool quality within 10 days on the cat dry formula, and up to 92% optimal stool quality on Mini Digestive Care for dogs.

One detail is specific to the cat kibble: it is ring-shaped. A cat has to slow down and bite through the ring rather than swallow pieces whole, and that slower eating is part of the result, since bolting food is a common reason cats bring meals straight back up.

For cats, PeekAPaw stocks Digestive Care dry in 400g, 2kg and 4kg, a Digestive Care Gravy pouch and a Digestive Care loaf. For dogs the dry food is split by adult size rather than current weight: Mini Digestive Care in 3kg and 8kg for dogs up to 10kg, Medium Digestive Care in 3kg and 12kg, and Maxi Digestive Care in 12kg, with a Digestive Care Loaf wet food in 85g pouches. Whichever you choose, change over across seven to ten days. A sudden switch is one of the most common causes of the exact problem this range is meant to settle.
