Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

Can Food Help My Itchy Cat?
Scratching, biting and rubbing are signs of what is happening under your cat's coat. Skin issues in cats can be due to food sensitivities.
About Food Sensitivities
Food sensitivities are reactions to normally harmless proteins in the diet and can occur with a cat 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 cat'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.

Great service and a terrific product
By Biker1 on Apr 8, 2021
My little tuxedo cat has food allergies the cause him to break out and develop lesions. He needs a nourishing hypo-allergenic food. The Royal Canin HP is great. My cat loves it, and it keeps him happy and healthy, glossy coat and lots of activity. Add to that the service with Chewy is outstanding. This is a hard product to find, and Chewy comes through for me, fast and efficient.

Why such a large bag?
By Kate on Apr 14, 2021
The Vet said my cat needed this food. If I needed to try a new food for suspected allergies why is only one size available? If this does not work, I have wasted a $57.00 value. They need to offer a smaller or sample size especially now in these trying times.

So far, so good.
By Rachel on Feb 2, 2021
My two 13 year old companions began eating this food about 2 weeks ago. So far, I have not seen them regurgitate or have bloody stools as they would on occasion with Hill's Science diet 11+. One of them was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 5 months ago and after begining her new lifelong daily medication I noticed a substantial drop in her activity, appetite and interest levels. I thought it was due to the medication slowing down her hormones-as they were suppose to, but it turns out she has some GI issues. Which is why her veterinarian prescribed Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein. These last 2 weeks I have noticed she is much more active, playful and her appetite has increased-which is what My two 13 year old companions began eating this food about 2 weeks ago.

Evidently a tasty kibble ... prescription, however
By Kristina on Mar 13, 2021
This kibble was prescribed for one of my three 17-year-old cats. The vet said it would be good for all the cats. It's pricey, of course, but I decided to try it. Well, the cats all love it, and they are a very fussy bunch, let me tell you. I'm so glad! One less thing to worry about! Looks like it's their forever kibble.

Only food my cat will eat
By Mooshka on Mar 25, 2021
Royal Canin Veterinary Diet HP is prescribed by our vet because our cat has bad stomach issues with any other food. Our vet was unable to get the food this month, but Chewy was quick to get the prescription from the vet and ship it to us in 2 days!

Shipping is ridiculous
By Jerry on Apr 5, 2021
Shipping is ridiculous ! It took 12 days to get to Oregon. It seemed like they stopped in every state of the union. If I ever order from Chewy again I’ll make sure that I have at least a half bag of food left.

Happy Cat and owner
By KathiM on Feb 22, 2021
Vet prescribed this food for our Tuxedo cat that had developed digestion/possible food allergy problems and after trying everything we could think of, decided to try this. I wasn't sure he would eat it (talk about opinionated - sheesh), but he took to it right away. Other than being [slightly] confused about how much to feed our furry kid, we have been very pleased with the results so far (6 wks on this food).

Prescription cat food
By ShariAnn on Feb 5, 2021
My vet was out of my prescription cat food and I just missed the deadline to order for the following week. They recommended I order it from Chewy so I didn't have to wait till they placed their next order. It was so much easier than running to my vet to pick-up the food and the price was about the same. Chewy contacted my vet for authorization and it was delivered to my door 2 days later. Such an easy process! I don't know why I haven't been doing this longer!

Expensive but worth every penny
By Kathleen on Feb 2, 2021
my cat has to go to UC Davis for a medical condition that took almost three years to diagnose . he was vomiting and had loose stool for years we struggled to make him feel better . once we got the diagnosis and the prescription for this food there was no turning back he is happy and feeling great ! I free feed and this is the only food that my autistic cat with IBS does not have loose stool want to! It’s definitely worth the money and I’m grateful that it’s made my cat feel so much better
