Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein Small Breed Dry Dog Food is a highly palatable diet designed for small breed or toy breed adult dogs. It’s formulated with hydrolyzed soy proteins, composed of low molecular weight peptides, so they can be absorbed in the digestive tract with a reduced risk of triggering an immune reaction. Optimal amounts of B vitamins and amino acids reinforce your dog’s skin barrier. And Relative Supersaturation (RSS) methodology helps reduce the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate crystal and stone formation in the bladder. Plus, the specially designed dog kibble is made for miniature mouths, encouraging your small breed dog to chew thoroughly for tartar control.
Key Benefits- A veterinary-exclusive dry dog food made with hydrolyzed protein for adult dogs under 22 lbs with food sensitivities.
- Helps reduce skin and GI reactions that may be a result of sensitivities to common proteins found in pet foods.
- Helps minimize risk of reaction with proteins that are broken down to a size that’s less likely to be recognized by the immune system.
- Promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the development of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
- Helps support healthy teeth with kibble that is a specific shape, dimension, and texture to fit the jaws of small dogs and also promote a brushing effect while chewing.

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.

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.

Perfect for dog food allergy
By PomMom on Oct 26, 2021
We've been struggling for 2.5 years with our Pom's skin allergy....weekly medicated baths, topical meds, weekly ear cleanings, Apoquel. Well, we finally did a food allergy diet and this was the second food we tried (the first one made him throw up) and happy to report that it worked! no more itching, no skin lesions, no more weekly baths! He really did have a protein food allergy and this food did the trick. Bonus, the dry comes in small bites for him. He's a Pomeranian.

Perfect for Small Dog
By Blair on Nov 1, 2021
My dog is a little on the larger side of “small”, but these nibblets are perfect for him! Originally, I was ordering directly from the vet, but they didn’t have small dog version and it’s much cheaper via Chewy! Shipment arrived super fast too. Dog loves it!

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein Small Breed
By Debbie on Sep 28, 2021
Our Bella was diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). Enzymes are added to her R.C. Hydrolyzed Protein food, for her body to be able to process food, and get nutrients from it. We had used the regular sized dog food before and Chewy was out of it, so we got the Small Breed type. Bella had done well on both food sizes.

Royal Canin
By Amyee on Oct 29, 2021
This food was recommended by my vet for my dog that is experiencing skin allergy issues. So far, it hasn’t disturbed his stomach. We will need more time to evaluate if it helps his skin.

Even the cat won't eat it
By Stewie on Aug 25, 2021
I ordered this "small breed" thinking it would be the same flavor/formula as the "large breed" version, just smaller. No way. These two kibbles are definitely not the same. My dog took one sniff and walked away. My cat did the same thing and she loves to eat anything new I bring into the house to check it out. I'm going to ask for a refund for a return or at least partial credit on another bag of the "large breed" flavor.

Digestive issue
By Katt on Oct 17, 2021
After being at the vet for days in a row, the vet recommended trying this type of food. She wanted to make sure that the food was hydrolysized but did have grain (for healthy heart).

My fur baby loves
By Dawnie29 on Nov 1, 2021
My cockapoo has to be on this type of food for skin allergies. He’s getting older so decided to try the smaller bites and he likes it so much better.
