Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein Small Dog Dry Food was developed to address the unique dietary challenges of smaller breeds with food sensitivities. It uses hydrolyzed protein to help avoid the protein-triggered allergy response that can cause common skin and GI issues and make little pups miserable. And since small breeds often have urinary issues, it’s designed to help prevent crystals and promote urinary health. Dry kibbles help support healthy teeth by providing a brushing effect, while tailored nutrition makes it appropriate as a maintenance diet or a temporary elimination food.
Key Benefits- Vet-exclusive formula was designed for small dogs under 22 lbs. with food sensitivities or allergies.
- Can help dogs who suffer from itchy skin and irritation or GI upset that may be caused by food.
- Uses special hydrolyzed protein that can minimize the risk of a protein-triggered allergic response.
- Promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the crystal formation that can plague small breeds.
- Supports healthy teeth with kibble that has a brushing effect when little buds chew.

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
We have a broad-range of Dermatologic formulas for pets with food sensitives and skin issues. Talk to your veterinarian about the right formula for your pet.

Best Food for Dogs with Allergies
By ScottsdaleWriter on Feb 8, 2020
My dog, who I adopted in December 2019, had typical allergy symptoms - chewing her paws, scratching, alopecia, etc. But she also had regular ear and GI issues. After monthly visits to her vet who was not overly concerned, I took her to a dermatologist who tested her. She has severe food and environmental allergies. Hydrolyzed protein is the only thing she eats and she has had no GI symptoms since starting her new diet and her environmental allergies are improving with immunotherapy and medication. I highly recommend RC Hydrolyzed!

French Bulldog Allergy
By DotAndCora on Jan 9, 2020
I have struggled to find a good food that works with my frenchie and her allergies. My vet recommended this (I’ve always used RC but the ‘small breed’ food) specific type of food and it has helped my frenchie’s skin allergies. She will get those horrible skin lesions that scab and itch. I also buy the wet can food to mix with the dry. Since I’ve bought this food, I’ve noticed her skin clear up. I’ve always loved RC and their products.

Is small breed out of stock or not available
By Lori on Apr 20, 2020
Is small breed out of stock or not available? Either way the food is great! My dog has stopped scratching and scooting. But she doesn’t like the larger bites. I’m hoping the small bites will show up again.

My pug loves this
By 3dogmom on Feb 19, 2020
My pug has been itchy and ear yeast infection. Vet suggested rx diet. After research, I chose this formula. This was not the formula he suggested, but after reading reviews, I chose this. I'm very happy with my decision.

Great Food
By Shell on Dec 22, 2019
This food has definitely made a difference in my Maltese. She was on Hills Prescription diet z/d for her allergies and it has never helped. I switched her to this Royal Canin Hydrolyzed and she is no longer itchy, no more flatulence and has improved her stool 100%. If you are on the fence about trying this food I would definitely say give it a try. What do you have to lose????

Worth every penny!
By r44inspector on Nov 16, 2019
My senior dachshund was in serious need of the "right" food. I took her to a new vet and she prescribed this food, and the canned food. Although it IS pricey, I can tell you that it has made a world of difference for my girl! Her coat was shiny, her stools were well formed and a good color (I didn't realize how bad her stools were!), and her personality and communication improved A LOT! If you are on the fence about this food, please get off the fence and buy it. Our pet's poor health can cost a lot of money, when all it takes is the right food. I am coming back for more of it so my girl feels better, and I feel better! Oh, and one more thing, she LOVES this food!

Palatable but unsuccessful
By Missy on Dec 27, 2019
Purchased this in hopes of it helping my little papillon with PLE to gain weight. Unfortunately she didn't care for it and she has since passed. Donated remainder to my vet in hopes it will be out to good use. You and your staff were very helpful when I spoke to them. Thank you.

Royal Canine Perscription Food
By Nancy on Feb 15, 2020
Dog seems to be thriving on this food. Has much less scratching issue and really eats with gusto. Expensive but well worth the price in my opinion.
