Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein HP Dry Cat Food

I wasn't excited about the price, or the thought of starting cat on prescription diet. However, he was miserable and threw up every day for 5 weeks after we adopted him from the humane society. We tried a wide variety of things (elevated dishes, slow feed, digestive enzymes, time of day) and different foods (dry/wet, various brands, grain free, homecooked). All I can say is that cat has not had even one vomit since the day we started this and it's been 2 weeks. He (cat) is feeling great and enjoying his new life. I (human) am so relieved that we found a solution and to not be cleaning up vomit every single day!

One of our cats had chewed/licked off most of her belly and leg hair. After trying an allergy med for several months (that worked well initially) and fish oil supplements with no luck, we decided to try this before doing allergy testing. After a full month of only being on this food (no treats, no wet food), she finally has hair growing back in all places and has stopped chewing! I was worried about our cats liking the food, but both of them ate it without a problem from the start.

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.

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).

Both of my cats have allergies and sensitive stomachs, so this has definitely helped in that regard. One cat also has urinary crystals and this product has the s/o index. I like Royal Canin because it’s an established brand with plenty of research done on the products. The cats went from Blue Buffalo LID turkey and potato to this product and there’s been improvement in vomiting.

We took in a stray cat 6 months ago and he's had diarrhea/soft stool since. Anyways $2,000 later no one knows what he has and I was getting tired of wiping him 5-6 times a day when he'd go to the bathroom and have poo all over his butt (which would then get on the couch, window sills, his tree, etc.). We were about to surrender him and the vet at the animal shelter shared with us that the food given to us by the previous vet (Hill's Prescription Diet z/d) is not truly a hypoallergenic food and to go with Royal Canin HP. Within a week his stool is completely back to normal and he loves it! And thank you Chewy our car was out of service and having it delivered was a life saver. Thank you!!

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!

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

Hydrolyzed protein food has changed my oldest cats' lives for the better. One of my cats has recurring pancreatitis issues, while the other has IBS, and has had to get rounds of B-12 shots in the past just to eat regularly. Once my veterinarian switched us to this food, all of my cats eat with very little issue. My cat with pancreatitis has not needed hospitalization ever since (several years now!) and my cat with IBS has much fewer vomiting spells. Spare no expense to try this food if you have a cat with similar digestion problems - it could really give quality of life back to them if a vet suggests it as an option. It's much easier for them to digest, and having my younger cats eating Hydrolyzed protein food has changed my oldest cats' lives for the better.

The prescription cat food we need for one of our cats, Royal Canin Veterinary Diet, was available and in stock on the Chewy website. That was really nice as it was unavailable at retail outlets in Knoxville TN. Ordering was straightforward, the Rx submittal worked without difficulty, and the cat food bag was delivered about four days later. Great service.
