Feeding guides are general recommendations only. The amount of food required by your dog may vary above or below that listed in this feeding guide. It is recommended that your dog be fed 2 - 4 equal portions of the diet per day.
Ensure fresh drinking water is available at all times. Store this product in a cool, dry place.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.

Grains can be a healthy part of any cat or dog’s diet. As always, we focus on the nutrients each ingredient provides and grains can provide many important nutrients.

My dog has very bad digestive issues, and was gravely sick, even on a diet of homemade food, but the vet prescribed him Royal Canin's Gastrointestinal prescription formula, and his illness cleared up for good! It was well worth the cost, since I'd tried everything else. I don't eat animals, or buy things that require an animal to be killed, and I wanted extend that to the dogfood I buy, but obviously the health of my dog was my primary concern. I talked about this food with my vet, and she said that it had an almost identical nutritional profile to the Gastrointestinal formula, so there was a good chance it would work for my guy. We tried it out, and he's never been in better health.

I give him half this dry food and half the canned version twice a day. I'm so pleased that he is finally healthy and that his food doesn't cause harm to other animals! … more

My cocker spaniel is allergic to EVERYTHING. The vet put her on this food and I have seen visible improvement in her skin, eyes and nose. I am so grateful. This food requires an RX and Chewy called my vet and got it done right away...wonderful service! This was a win/win for us. The kibble is fairly large, but my dog loves it and eats it up.

My little dog has IBD and was recently put on this dry food as of 12/1/17. She loves the food and had no issues accepting it or keeping it down. It will be some time before we know if it really helps the situation, but I am hopeful that with her medications she can get her IBD under control. I will keep you posted.

Always follow the advice of your veterinarian, but this food is amazing for our little allergic pets! My dog loves the taste and it keeps her from her allergic flare ups. This food, in combination with great skin care, has been the best I have found! My dog and I highly recommend this product!

We have been using this food for several months, but it is only available at our Vet Dermatologist, which is a long drive during the work day... but Chewy got it to me the day after I ordered it - no delivery fee - I am a VERY HAPPY customer, and I love that this helps me keep my dogs healthy!

Our schnauzer has food allergies and protein spills. Most dog foods don't agree with his stomach or give him diarrhea. The Royal Canin Vegetarian Dry Dog Food is wonderful! He likes the food and has no digestive upset! He eats it readily. Great choice for us

Chewy.com was very efficient with the prescription process and we received the dog food in our two day window. Our dog loves the food! I would highly recommend both Chewy's service and the dog food.

My shihtzu loves it, but wish it came in smaller pellets!! Small dogs need to eat too Royal Canin. It is great for dogs with severe allergies.
