Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

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.

Skin Issues
By Matt on Oct 14, 2021
Being asked to review products right after purchase always bothers me. However, we're only into our second bag of this food with our GSD and have seen a marked improvement with her skin issues. We can't claim they've gone away, but certainly much better along with her eating habits have improved. Maybe in 6 months or so i will remember and leave another review. But so far this will be her food.

I love and depend on this item !!!
By Lina on Jul 16, 2021
I know there is a shortage of royal canin dog food but please chewy don’t ever discontinue this item because my dog relies on it to maintain happy and healthy skin he has a food allergy and is extremely sensitive to other brands. When I try to replace with other brands with similar ingredients he throws up and I notice discoloration in his skin within a few days . I am so thankful for this item unfortunately it keeps going out of stock but please don’t discontinue !!!! -worried dog mom

Great so far!
By Tina on Mar 30, 2021
Our Lhasa Apso, Minky, has itchy and stinky skin issues. We found this food online and our vet agreed to issue a prescription to Chewy. Minky has been eating it for two weeks at this point and yes, I see an improvement already. Minky is itching less therefore scratching less and is not stinky. I hope this good result continues as it would prove that the difference in Minky is due to this great food. So far I recommend you try it if your dog has skin issues and your vet agrees from a medical standpoint.

You get what you pay for!
By maind9g on May 15, 2021
I used to have Chico on Royal Canin skin sensitive, but as it is expensive, I tried him on others that were also skin sensitive, to save money. But after a while, Chico started itching like he did before I bought Royal Canin. So, I I'll change back. It's definitely worth the extra cost!

Lifesaver for my dog
By Gisele on Feb 14, 2021
This food is literally a lifesaver for my dogs skin. My clinic could not get the food as everything is on back order. Thank god chewy had it because I hate to think how many meds she would need to be on without the food (lots of meds to contain the skin allergies)

This is great!
By BusyMom on Jan 4, 2021
My dog requires this particular food because of food allergies that caused hair loss. He recovered fairly quickly after this diet change. I normally order this from my vet since it is a prescription food. They were unable to get this size in for me and I was panicking because we were almost all out. I ordered this from Chewy, and Even with the verification needed from my vet, it arrived the next day!

My dogs enjoy this kibble but it did not work for itchy skin
By Farmboys on May 6, 2020
Both of my dogs eat this kibble with not issues. I wet it with a small amount of water for them. My itchy girl did not stop itching using this formula, so we won't be buying it again.

Food for Binkee
By Vickie on Apr 14, 2020
I was really concerned when my vet told me it would be up to three weeks to get Binkee’s food, due to the pandemic. Chewy’s to the rescue! Four days! Binkee and I thank you!

Great product
By Nicole on Feb 12, 2020
We have an English bulldog with really bad skin and our vet tech told us about this food. It cleared his skin right up and we haven’t had issues since starting this food a few years ago!
