Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein HP Dry Cat Food

My cat, Rider, has IBD and needs to eat either a novel protein or hydrolyzed protein diet. Due to the nature of the disease, IBD cats are often picky eaters. He used to eat Royal Canin Selected Protein PR (rabbit and green pea) and likes it, but after 3 years, I think he got tired of it. He likes this hydrolyzed protein food. I plan to alternate between this and the Selected Protein PR to give him a little variety and keep him interested in meals. Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is rather expensive... but Rider has tried other brands and didn't like them. A prescription diet won't work if the cat won't eat it. Since he likes Royal Canin and does well on it - it's worth buying My cat, Rider, has IBD and needs to eat either a novel protein or hydrolyzed protein diet.

My cat had been driving me crazy! Constantly scratching, hiding, losing hair, red blotches on her belly, not using the litter box, etc. I changed litter 5 times thinking she did not like the litter after 11 years. That did not make a difference. I changed her food (bought from pet store) several times, and that did not make a difference. I finally called my vet and asked him if I could try a food allergy cat food to see if that made any difference. I picked up a 7.7 lb. bag for $70+/- and after about 4 weeks she is like a kitten again. No more itching, hiding, or red blotches on her belly, and she is using the litter box again. She is extremely happy as well as I am happy. Chewy's prices My cat had been driving me crazy!

I will continue to order from Chewy. Plus it arrives at my door when they say it will be there! Chewy rocks! … more

I have a rag doll cat that has had loose stools and diarrhea for years. I tried him on antibiotics and grain free foods but they didn't help much. Had his stool checked for worms and his stool was clear. The vet recommended trying a hypoallergenic food and I always trusted Royal Canin so I checked Chewy and they had this food. I ordered a bag and when it came my cats really like it. Almost immediately his stools firmed up and instead of going 8 to 10 times a day he goes maybe once or twice a day. I have 13 other cats and now they all eat this food. 2 of them have skin issues and they seem to be clearing up too. I highly recommend this cat food!

First shocker is that Andy LOVES this food. He embodies the label of a finicky eater so I wasn't hopeful. I turned to this formula to see if it would help his chronic symptoms of IBD which may have been a food intolerance after all. In either case, we're reducing his steroid slowly and his bowel issues seem to be resolving. Amazing! I'm so grateful!

Our cat was at first diagnosed with IBD and the vet gave us a prescription for a special diet food. We purchased the first bag of prescription food at a local pet store. When we needed to purchase the food again, we checked Chewy. The cost was substantially less and included free shipping, so we ordered a 17lb bag. The order, with other items included, arrived timely and exactly as ordered.

We've been trying to figure out why my cat is very itchy in front of her ears. Doesn't seem to be fleas so we think it's the diet. She used this for a while and was less itchy. Then I tried to use another food and she was itchy again, so this does seem to be the thing that works for her. Happy this product exists.

My seven year old male cat has colon problems so my veterinarian prescribed this food.. That solved his problem. No more messes to clean up. The food is less expensive through chewy so I was able to buy the hydrolyzed protein treats for him too. My three year old girl has no health problems and she likes it too!

After a long go around with Vet's, steroids and even kitty Prozac, I finally found the thing that halted Penelope's over scratching. This food has stopped her from continuously scratching her neck and face to the point of scabbing and hair loss. A few more weeks and we can re-introduce animal protein one area time.

In October of last year my cat had thrown up 11 times in 40 minutes. Took him to an emergency vet where they said he was fine because he stopped throwing up. Maxwell became super distant and refused to eat or drink. His regular vet said it was pancreatitis and put him on a prescription food. This was it! Maxwell is doing fine and is actually having better luck with digestion on this food. Less throw up makes me a happy fur mamma!

I have been feeding this to my three cats for almost two weeks and for the first time in months (knock on wood) one has not had uncontrollable diarrhea and one has not spit up. I am hoping this food is the solution to their messy digestive problems.
