Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein HP Dry Cat Food

For years my cats had been eating IAMs Proactive Health dry cat food, but occasionally they would throw it up. When I found the new vet she recommended that I switch them over to the Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein. She said that IAMs was like the McDonald's of cat food - cheap and full of fillers. After I got them switched over they never threw up again and they seem to be much healthier and active than before. Yes, it's more expensive (the IAMs was only eight bucks a bag), but for their health and well being I am willing to spend the extra money, especially if it's something that's better for them.

I have been using this food for about 2 years for two cats with irritable bowel syndrome. They would have diarrhea, frequently poop outside the litter box, and cry when they were using the litter box. The problems have completely vanished -- all of that behavior has gone away, plus they really like the food. It is such a relief that they feel better and I have less cleanup to endure. My vet recommended hydrolzyed protein food and this definitely was the best decision.

This worked great for my one girl diagnosed with IBD, however, my other girl not diagnosed with IBD could not handle this food as it gave her soft stools. We had to switch her back to her old food, so now we have to feed 2 different foods. Super inconvenient, but needed. Still recommend this for IBD cats, as we have seen a great improvement in our girl! They both love the taste too!

My cat was diagnosed with food allergies and put on this diet. He refused to eat it and because he is skinny to begin with, I had to switch him back to his Royal Canin Calm mixed with RC Persian which he likes. Now allergy shots are being prepared specifically for him to try to desensitize him to the things he is allergic to. I am left with a bag of expensive food that I can’t use. I do trust the RC brand and I am sure it works. But unfortunately not for my kitty.

This was purchased specifically for my kitty's allergies. At first, she wouldn't eat it, but I was told not to feed her anything else to see if her allergies would dissipate. Well, she eats it now, but the her allergies are still bothering her. I'm sure it will work on others, but this has not worked for my kitty. It would have been nice to offer a smaller bag. The one benefit of this cat food is that her poops do not smell!

I have an FIV pos cat and she used to bite off all her fur. I am not sure exactly what it was, an allergy perhaps. Either way, since her vet put her on this diet, she has a full coat of fur!

My two littermate girls are getting use to the food... my tabby has sensitivity to poultry proteins. No issues with vomit, and energy is restored... both kitties are happy and feisty 6 yr. olds

My cat has loved this food for months; however, she is not eating the same food delivered last week. It looks a little different, more speckled. Also doesn’t have much of a smell like before. Threw the bag away when emptied into the canister, so no idea if it had possibly expired? I do know it was the exact same food- the HP. Have the ingredients changed?

When our elderly kitty was diagnosed with food sensitivities we tried many new options, and this one was her favorite. She went from not eating to loving her food and thriving!

Roscoe has an unknown allergy. The vet wanted us to switch his food to this expensive RC diet. We don't care for the price however, Roscoe loves this food. I'm not certain what role the food plays w/ keeping his allergies at bay but so far, so good.
