Questions & Answers

3 Customer Questions


I have bought the 3.3lb bag. I love it for my pomeranian with gastrointestinal problems. Wondering, is there an option for smaller kibble size? I have to crush the kibble up because it is too large for him to eat, because he chooses to inhale food rather than chew it. I fear he will choke otherwise.


How many grams of food per bag?

Answer by ChewyOct 13, 2025
This formula contains the following grams of food per bag: 680 grams of food in the 1.5-pound bag, 1,497 grams of food in the 3.3-pound bag, 4,491 grams of food in the 9.9-pound bag, and 8,981 grams of food in the 19.8-pound bag.

Why is there chicken fat in this kibble when the protein is supposed to be hydrolyzed?

Answer by ChewyJan 07, 2026
Royal Canin refines the fats and oils to remove protein, making them suitable for pets with a chicken allergy. If you have any concerns, we recommend consulting with the veterinarian who prescribed this kibble.

This food has really helped my dog. Leroy was recently diagnosed with irritable bowel disease. Constant loose stool and vomiting. This food is the only food he wanted to eat due to flavor. If you’ve been told to feed your dog z/d and he turns his nose to it, consider this food instead. He can’t wait to eat every meal again and his tummy aches seem to be gone. This food came highly recommended from his vet and a vet nutritionist.

We had to switch our schnauzer to this variety of food due to GI issues and a congenital liver condition. It had been a struggle to find it from other places, which all seemed to either not be able to keep it in stock or charged exorbitant shipping fees. Now that Chewy carries it, we have it on autoship and feel so much peace of mind! Our dog thrives on it and has been able to lose several pounds so he's back at an optimal weight, and his tummy is upset much less frequently than on other foods!

I was able to purchase this food from chewy when I couldn't get it anywhere else. The person who helped me was kind and so very helpful. She even set me up with an account and placed the order while waiting for the vet to send the prescription. This is the only specialized dog food my beagle can have for his liver condition. Thank you chewy. I will be needing this food for awhile

Norman is my high energy, loyal and loving Miniature Schnauzer. He is a huge chow hound and use to be able to eat a large variety of food. The poor guy developed a food allergy and now has to eat hydrolyzed protein. Another problem that Norman developed is pancreatitis which is common with Mini Schnauzers. He had become very ill. Eating this low fat, hydrolyzed food is the only solution for him. He continues to be a chow hound but only with a few choices of specific food and treats. This saved his life!

We tried all of the alternatives (like Hill’s z/d) and our dog refused to eat them. She doesn’t love this food, but will at least eat a bit of it which is a huge relief for us. It has a lighter crunch

Brenna needs to be on prescription food for many allergies. She loves to eat and I’ve tried everything to get some pounds off her. I had a great conversation with the pharmacy at Chewy and we decided to try the low fat Canin. I tried a small bag to see if her allergies kicked up but the my didn’t! I then bought the bigger bag and after almost 2 months on this food the “wrinkles” on her neck are going away and she’s getting her young girl svelte body back! It’s also helping her legs that she always pulled running. She’s lighter now and her legs have been great! She’s 9-1/2 and I expect arthritis do her weight loss is helping all around! I highly recommend this food and as always CHEWY for their super help and enjoyable conversations all the time. Perfect in every way!!!

Kibble is too large

She is eating it, although not enthusiastically, but only after I chop each kibble into smaller pieces. My baby girl is a small dog with a small mouth.
