Daily feeding recommendations may be divided into 2 - 4 meals.
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.

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.
Find the Right Royal Canin Diet for Your Dog

Our dog (a 4 yo rat terrier mix) got into something that upset his stomach. Our vet had us put him on a bland diet of rice and chicken but after a couple weeks his stomach wasn't back to normal (liquid poops) and he was having an allergic reaction to the chicken. The vet recommended this food and our dog really likes it. The small dog blend is a nice small pellet size too. Within 2 weeks of switching to this food, his poops are back to normal and he stopped licking from the allergic reaction. We'll keep him on this until the food is gone.

Had to use this dog food for my Min. Schnauzer. She had bladder stones removed and now needs a special food. Vet chose this one since my Schnauzer is allergic to chicken. She loves it and I love the convenience of getting it delivered.

I am so grateful that you carry this food. My chihuahua is EXTREMELY fussy. He has some stomach issues and this is the food my vet recommended. I tried others and he wouldn’t eat it. Something must taste good in this one! Thanks so much. And Chewy delivery and customer service goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. I am so impressed.

This is a new dog food we’re trying for my little doxie’s inflammatory bowel disease. She’s only been on it a short time and so far it’s working great. She seems to like it and no gassy stomach upset, diarrhea or blood in her stool. Super happy with this food so far!!

Mine have sensitive tummies and this does not irritate them. Good quality, and chewy has a lower price than the vet.

My dog suffers from chronic GI inflammation. The Royal Canin HP dog food is the only food we've found that she can eat without getting sick. It's expensive, so I was thrilled to find it on Chewy.com at a reasonable price.

The headline should say enough. My 1st time using them and so far they saved me a lot for my perscription dog food!

This food stopped my little Yorkie from constantly itching. Chewy has it at a great price (lower than even at the vet's office) and fast, easy shipping.
