Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein Adult HP Canned Dog Food, 13.7-oz, case of 24

Recently my beagle had an issue, several issues actually and when the bloodwork came back, his protein levels were dangerously low. I was given a prescription and told to go to chewy.com. The process could not have been any easier, the food arrived in 2 days and he loves it. I would highly recommend Chewy.com BUT while I think it’s a great company, I’m a strong believer in shopping local to support local businesses. I won’t order online when I can get the same products from a local pet supply store. So you see, while I think you are a great company, I won’t be ordering on a monthly basis

My toy poodle has eaten and loved this food for several years now. The latest case is much different in texture. Up to this point, the food was moist but I could chop it into a hamburger-like texture. This latest batch is wetter, clumpy, and difficult for my dog to eat. It's almost a peanut butter-type texture. I posted a similar comment on Royal Canin's site, and I'm hoping other people will express concern, too, so the company will consider going back to the old formula.

We picked up the canned variation of this food because my boy was prescribed the kibble and he enjoys a bit of wet food mixed in to his kibble. I do wish they had an additional flavor to choose from. I did a 5 star because he loves it on his food, while it is a bit pricy, it’s not necessary for me to add to his kibble or for his health, I do it because he enjoys it so I’m okay with paying the higher cost when possible.

I wanted to write about how amazing Chewy was in getting this to me quickly. I usually buy this food from my vet and when I called to pick up my dogs next batch, they were back-ordered. I ordered the product at noon on a Monday, had my vet approve the request by that afternoon, and Chewy had the food delivered when I got home from work on Tuesday. Amazing FREE, FAST shipping! I was willing to pay more to have it overnighted but didn’t see the option. I was impressed and very happy! The product itself came as a recommendation from the vet and has completely healed my 12 lb chiweenie of his GI issues. I also use the hydrolyzed protein treats and he likes those as well.

Adding my complaint to others here, the first two cans I opened (expiration March 2023) smell sour compared with the cans I purchased directly from vet (expiration November 2022). There are small black specks throughout the loaf in the new cans, as others have likewise observed. I suspect a spoiled batch and lacking quality control; I feel awful for offering my dog a half can this morning despite my reservations (prior to checking other 1 star reviews). I will withhold these cans and seek to purchase older stock from my local vet. In the meantime, I have submitted a complaint to the manufacturer, Royal Canin, directly (awaiting response).

My vet prescribed this food for my dog. Tesla spent the first 2yrs of life in a cone because of skin AND allergy issues. When I rescued her she went on a strict all organic veggies and fruit diet. I also added One has and farm raised rabbit. Nothing worked. New tests. New meds. New vet and we finally have some idea about her health. Although, this food is expensive I can already tell many changes are happening .. less smelly breath, no more 'yeasty' smell from her ears. And, best of all she is actually eating AND enjoying it.

My dog was diagnosed with IBD so was prescribed this food. He really loves it. It’s a little weird to open the can for the first time because it’s not the same consistency of a typical canned food. It’s been nice though because I’ve been using it as a treat. My dog has never been able to eat canned foods before. They would make him throw up. This one does not

I’m just thrilled that my dog eats it. I supplement her dry kibble with this same hydrolized protein canned food version. She thinks she’s getting something really special! Although today for some reason she is ignoring her bowl. I’m not worried though.

My fur baby has been diagnosed with chronic IBD (after a year of tests, medications and diet changes). Upon her diagnosis she had been on hydrolyzed kibble, but I worried that was upsetting her digestion process. So I had a can of this as a sample from the vet and tried it. I've never seen her inhale food like she did this can. So, she's now getting not quite a can of this for breakfast and lunch and kibble soaked with hot water for supper with a little bit of fortiflora mixed in. With the correct medication and this diet she's shown significant improvement this past month. What's really funny is she stands and yips for her meals now. It's such a relief to have her on the right track after My fur baby has been diagnosed with chronic IBD (after a year of tests, medications and diet changes).

This food is only prescribed by Veterinarians for dogs with allergies to basically everything. My big golden was plagued with licking his paws and his beautiful white coat turning orange and brownish. After a few weeks I have noticed a marked improvement. I no longer need to give him Apoquel (equally expensive) for his skin issues! We've had less issues with his ears as well!!
