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.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |

| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

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.

It's miraculous - Hallelujah! It really works.
By MollyandAbby on Sep 10, 2021
I highly recommend this product. Poor Molly was stricken was two bouts of pancreatitis which caused vomiting, explosive diarrhea & weight loss. After multiple tests (including an intestinal cytology), Molly was diagnosed with IBD. The vet prescribed different brands of hydrolyzed protein & novel protein foods, with limited success (as Molly still experienced vomiting & diarrhea). But after about a week of eating only this food, Molly had normal stools & no vomiting. Normal stools for the first time in a long time - I have never been so happy at seeing plain poop in the litter box! And she loves the food too - an added bonus.

Solved My Kitty’s Issues!
By Pablo on Sep 5, 2021
I bought this food at the recommendation of my vet. My cat Pablo was having chronic digestive issues which let to diarrhea and digestive issues. This food has been great in helping Pablo get relief. His poops are much healthier and it seems he’s feeling better too. He enjoys the food and eats it up when I feed him. It’s also made his coat so soft. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is the price, but that’s what you get with the Rx diets. It’s worth the money for me if it means Pablo is happy and healthy.

SHE LOVES IT
By Kayy on Sep 18, 2021
For gastro issues, my vet recommended a hypoallergenic diet for my cat YoYo. She's generally very picky, and I didn't expect her to eat this at all (she's normally a fancy feast wet food girl) But she absolutely LOVES this food. I've never known her to look forward to any dry food, but she begs for this stuff! More importantly. Her stomach absolutely appears to be feeling better! So highly recommend!

Kitties love it, let's hope it works!
By sweetpea on Aug 30, 2021
I have one cat with severe skin irritation and another who is a chronic barfer with loose stools. We're trying this food to see if it helps with both their issues. After a few days they're absolutely gaga over the taste of this and seem to like it much more than their current food (which is a high quality food but clearly causing allergies). While their issues haven't fully resolved yet they seem to have started to get better, so I'm very much hoping they fully resolve so they can continue eating this tasty food that they enjoy!

For a prescription diet, he loves it!
By Jbed on Aug 22, 2021
My cat has allergies and was recently switched to a prescription food to see if it helps. The first kind, the ultimino, he wouldn’t touch after sniffing. I tried hand feeding him this when it first arrived, and he licked it right out of my hand, which he doesn’t even do with his favorite treats! He eats almost, if not all, of the food. I thought he would be upset that he is taking a break from wet food, but he seems very content on this! Very happy with this purchase.

Now that’s what I’m talking about!
By Rusty on Aug 26, 2021
My mom said the vet recommended hydrolyzed protein cat food so I could stop having diarrhea all the time. She got some and I loved it. Then the bag was getting so low I thought she was gonna run out! And I kept waiting for her to go shop but no. Then a package from Chewy arrived just in time to save me from starvation!

Kitty's Favorite Hydrolyzed
By Pickles on Aug 31, 2021
We tried another brand of hydrolyzed food first. I noticed my kitty just wasn't eating much. I decided to try the Royal Canin and she seems to love it. I am trying to mix the other kibble in with this Royal Canin, but she is picking out the Royal Canin to eat and leaving the other kibble in her dish.

All my cats like it
By NewEnglander on Aug 12, 2021
I ordered this to see if it would help my cat Otis who licks and scratches a lot as the vet wondered if he had a food allergy. Since I needed to allow him access to just this one food, I was concerned if my other two cats would eat it as well. Fortunately they all like it, even my girl Maggy who normally only eats wet food. I need to wait awhile however to see if it helps Otis.

Finally, something that he's not allergic to!
By Gemini on Sep 16, 2021
My Vet had tried several things to help his ongoing ear ache. Finally she suggested this food, and it seems to have done the job! No more shaking his head till nasty stuff flew out of his ears onto my newly painted walls!

Prescription diet For cats with IBS
By Patches on Jul 14, 2021
My cat, Patches has irritable bowel syndrome causing loose stools and we assumed by his behavior, painful elimination. We tried several brands of food, some prescription. Our vet finally suggested trying Hydrolyzed protein HP. Within one week, Patches stools became firm! We were so excited! No more howling before using the litter box which means no more pain for our fur baby! This product is awesome! Unfortunately my veterinarians office ran out and was not able to get more in. Thankfully Chewy.com had a supply and we received it in three days after ordering! I signed up for reoccurring shipments so running out will not happen again! Thank you chewy.com!
