Can Food Help My Itchy Dog?
Scratching, biting and rubbing are signs of what is happening under your dog's coat. Skin issues in dogs can be due to food sensitivities and environmental irritants.
About Food Sensitivities
Food sensitivities are reactions to normally harmless proteins in the diet and can occur with a dog of any age. A food sensitivity is determined by a food elimination trial which is performed under the supervision of a veterinarian. Your veterinarian may choose a diet that contains hydrolyzed proteins (ones that have already been partially broken down) or novel proteins (ones that your pet is unlikely to have been exposed to).
Signs of Food Sensitivity
Sensitivities to the proteins in your dog's food or environmental irritants can result in a variety of clinical signs and only your veterinarian can determine if a veterinary-exclusive diet is appropriate for your pet. If a diet change is recommended, for best results, it is very important to feed only that food while strictly adhering to your veterinarian's feeding directions.
What About Enviromental Irritants
Like you, your dog can have sensitivities to certain things in the environment such as pollens, house dust or even fleas. Your veterinarian may recommend a diet that contains optimal amounts of vitamins and nutrients which helps reinforce your dog's skin barrier.
Find the Right Royal Canin Diet for Your Dog
We have a broad-range of Dermatologic formulas for pets with food sensitives and skin issues. Talk to your veterinarian about the right formula for your pet.

Ships fast but costs more than you expect
By HarryDog on Jan 7, 2019
I tried chewy out but I may switch back to my vet since this costs about $6 more per bag with the tax. I wish that was advertised when you look it up and when you get the email on the product price. It is more convenient than driving to the vet but a little more costly even with auto ship discount and free shipping.

Pricey but worth it.
By KonaKona on Jul 15, 2018
Our dog loves the taste of this dog food. It has been a little more than a week and his skin is getting better, he is not chewing on his paws, skin, or removing fur anymore. He seems more energetic, more engaged, and happy.

Sebaceous Adenitis (SA) in Our Goldendoodle
By Tdrman on May 20, 2018
We have a goldendoodle who was recently diagnosed with SA. Our beautiful goldendoodle went from curly, thick hair to thinning and eventually lost all his hair. We knew nothing about this life time disease And couldn’t understand how in just a few months we were dealing with this. He wasn’t even 2 years old. After months of researching we have decided to handle this without medication, unless he has severe infections. I found this food and he has been on this for about 1 month. His hair seems to be coming in, of course it will never be like it was but I’ll take anything just so he has hair. I will post again in a few months to see how this food is doing with him.

No More Itch
By Yorkipoo on May 20, 2018
After being on his original food for many years, my Yorkipoo started scratching intensely (all day and all night). I switched dog food to Royal Canin skin support, and in 3 to 4 weeks, he has stopped scratching. Great product!

RC S/Support Rescued Sophie
By SophieARescuedMorkie on Mar 27, 2018
Words can't describe the difference this food has made in the life of our rescued Morkie. When she came into our care (3/9/18), she suffered from severe skin issues. Including open wounds from itching. In the short time she's been on this food the transformation has been drastic and we can't brag enough on Royal Canin Skin Support! The redness/irritation, open wounds, and basic overall skin condition has improved in a miraculous way. The picture I'm attaching speaks for itself. Thank You Royal Canin Team for going above and beyond on yet another much needed product! We can't thank you enough!

I am hopeful
By Terri127 on Mar 30, 2018
I am hopeful that I have finally found something that my dog can eat that will stop the itching. His immune system is hyer sensitive to ALOT. So I am 3/4 of the way down on the food....have not used it in a month....so far it's cut down on the itchies....but I still think it's too soon to tell. I'll update my review in another 30 days. The bag is ziplock seal and I do appreciate that! :)

Seeing changes in his coat
By Murphy on Feb 14, 2018
My Boxer/mix has environmental allergies. He gets yeast infections, constantly itching, biting and licking. He coat looked awful, very dull. After 2 weeks (that's why 4 starts) on this food, he coat looks better and he is more active. I am going to give it more time and hope the itching, licking and biting is reduced more. But, so far, pretty good. Chewy does have the best price, but I do wish it was a little cheaper or they offered discounts for senior citizens.
