Overview
["This Royal Canin Veterinary Diet formula comes as a low-fat loaf packed into 13.5 oz cans, sold in a 12-pack for 162 oz total. It's positioned as a gastrointestinal support diet, formulated to be easy to digest for adult dogs working through digestive upset or fat intolerance.", "Because it's a veterinary diet, this formula is intended to be used as part of a plan set up with your vet rather than a general everyday food. The low-fat loaf format also makes it simple to mix with dry kibble or serve on its own for dogs who need a softer, more palatable meal.", 'At $65.88 for the 12-pack, it sits in the mid-range for prescription canned diets. It has a strong 4.8 star average, though with only 38 reviews on record, that rating reflects a smaller group of buyers than some of the more established prescription lines.']
