Worried About Your Dog’s Skin Health?

Skin health concerns are common and can appear anywhere on your dog’s body. Your veterinarian is the expert on your dog’s health, so you should always consult with this trusted advisor to find the best solutions for your pet. This specialized expertise is why Royal Canin works closely with veterinarians to develop formulas that support skin health.

Common Causes of Skin Health Concerns

Environmental Sensitivities

Pollen, plants and dust are environmental factors that can trigger an immune response in some dogs.

Food Sensitivities

Your veterinarian may recommend a diet elimination trial to help determine if your pet has a sensitivity to certain proteins in his current diet.

Parasites

Your dog can pick up external parasites such as mites, fleas, ticks and lice from contaminated sources, both indoors and out

Infection

Puppies, older dogs, and dogs that have recently been ill may be more susceptible to bacterial infections that can lead to skin health concerns.

How Can Nutrition Help?

Your veterinarian may recommend a Royal Canin Dermatology formula for your dog. These special formulations can:

Support digestive health by regulating movement through the GI tract and supporting balanced digestive flora

Support the skin’s natural protective barrier

Aid cellular health with a complex blend of antioxidants.

Promote healthy skin and coat by providing long chain omega-3 fatty acids in the diet

Find The Perfect Balance

With a dry and wet feeding routine, dry food supports positive oral health while wet food supports healthy hydration.

Disappointed

Our 8 yo Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has been on this food for over 3 years. It was going great, she was eager to eat, until this current bag we received in December

Our 8 yo Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has been on this food for over 3 years. It was going great, she was eager to eat, until this current bag we received in December (maybe the previous one received around September, can't remember for sure). But now it has taken quite a bit to encourage her to eat. It wasn't until I started digging and researching more that I realized several others seem to be having reactions to the latest bags of food. I don't know what changed; we've already tossed the previous bag once it was empty, but our dog can tell something isn't right. We believe she has a poultry intolerance, and this food was working, but now that she's reluctant to eat, we are off to find a new food. I did try reaching out to RC about this issue, but they said that because the batch code on the bag was not legible (part of it didn't appear to print properly), they couldn't look into it any further. That's really disappointing.

HORRIBLE QUALITY CONTROL

My dog was diagnosed with chronic IBS a year ago. Since then she has been exclusively on this kibble. The first few months were a godsend however the last 6 months,

My dog was diagnosed with chronic IBS a year ago. Since then she has been exclusively on this kibble. The first few months were a godsend however the last 6 months, each bag has been a toss up. Sometimes a bag is completed with no issue, other times towards the end of the bag the food has a stronger smell as if it’s gone rancid and immediately upsets her stomach leading to constant diarrhea. When it is a good batch this is the only thing that helps her. However, at the end of December 2025, the last week of the bag gave her diarrhea again and when we got a new bag it continued. I also thought it was regular but I’ve noticed a difference in each bag, some are light and shiny kibble pieces while others bags are dull and dark and smell stronger/ those are the ones that make her sick. I don’t know if it is a Chewy quality control issue or Royal Canin but it’s really upsetting to see similar reviews for such an expensive prescription food when I was wondering if I had been imagining it these past few months!

Great for sensitive dogs

I have and English Bulldog who has had GI and yeast issues from the start. We were taking him to the vet about every 2 months because he'd get horrible diarrhea

I have and English Bulldog who has had GI and yeast issues from the start. We were taking him to the vet about every 2 months because he'd get horrible diarrhea. The vet said he may be sensitive to the protein in the food, so we tried changing the type of protein...didnt help. Talked with the vet and what our options were and decided to give hydrolyzed food a try...and what a difference. He BM's have improved greatly and even his wrinkles and rope don't have yeast in them...it has all cleared up. And we had tried EVERYTHING (including prescriptions from the vet) to clear up the yeast. Who knew changing his food was the cure.

Olive is a 5 month old beagle puppy. She loves to chew on small items. Years ago, I purchased a Valentine's Day Bark Box for my other beagle, Beatrice. When recently moving furniture, we found one of the small stuffed hearts from the old Bark Box and Olive immediately made it her favorite toy. You should have seen her today with her three new stuffed hearts! She was in absolute heaven :)

I recently noticed the formula was slight different but this past bag was VERY DIFFERENT. My dog has been eating this food for years and completely demolishes her food no problem until our recent shipment this December. She wasn’t finishing her food like before and was throwing up out of nowhere. Luckily, I still had a little bit of the previous bag so I compare the old & new batch. It’s bigger and more yellowish. I’m very disappointed in Royal Canin! We will be switching to another brand.

Beware!! New formula, no longer hypoallergenic!

My dog has been doing great on this food for over a year. The kibble looked different in the bag I purchased in October and my dog had allergies worse than ever

My dog has been doing great on this food for over a year. The kibble looked different in the bag I purchased in October and my dog had allergies worse than ever. She could not relax until recieving her first ever allergy shot. I wasn't sure if it was the food at that time. The following bag she had seemed to be back to normal, so despite the reviews I just purchased another. My dog has had one meal and is already itchy! I'm sad to try a new food. I hope they go back to what they were previously doing!!

Finally, a prescription food that my dog Cadbury eats. He was wasting away on a comparable diet from another manufacture. Somehow Royal Canin manages to make their kibble palatable, not just healthy for a dog with bladder issues. I truly appreciate that he is jumping up and down for dinner now instead of having to bribe him. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Both of my dogs have been on this for over 2 years. One of them suddenly got sick with horrible diarrhea. After 2 vet visits over 3 weeks, and bland diet it proved to be their food. Came back instantly after 2 weeks of complete elimination and reintroduction. After reading recent reviews since early November it solidified that something major changed and is making pets sick all of a sudden which isn’t great for a hypoallergenic diet.

I was concerned that my dogs would not be happy about being switched to a prescription diet, but they love this food. When I give them the dry food, I make "gravy" from a little bit of canned and mix it in. I also mix some of the canned with water and spread it on a lick mat, which they love frozen or refrigerated. They enjoy the dry pieces in their puzzles as well. So far, so good!

We used to use Science Diet ZD, but our dog still kept getting ear infections and skin infections. I finally looked at the ingredients and it is Chicken - my dog is allergic to chicken so why did my vet insist on Science Diet? We switched him to Royal Canin and he won't even touch the ZD now. Hopefully this food helps him, as we have tried all the other hydratlized foods.
