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.

| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |

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.

My Tuxedo!!
By Tuxedo on May 7, 2021
Well for an older cat and one who is having problems with allergies, dander or other skin issues it is great. The food has to be soaked before I give it to him in hot water along with the wet food because it just doesn't have any taste for him and I think the hot water activates the flavor. Then about after 5 minutes or so he eats it again. He did have problems with his teeth so this is also why I do this to help him out. I do wish there was a wet food that did come in another flavor for the poor cat. The cost is not a problem for me because you do what you need to do for your animals and Chewy is there to supply it. My vet could not. So he has been on the food for about a month and now Well for an older cat and one who is having problems with allergies, dander or other skin issues it is great. The food has to be soaked before I give it to him in hot water along with the wet food because it just doesn't have any taste for him and I think the hot water activates the flavor.

My vet could not. So he has been on the food for about a month and now I have truly seen a difference in his coat because it has come in so beautiful and long and he isn't digging at himself as much and isn't pulling his hair out much, so I do believe this food has truly helped him out so he will be staying on this food for the rest of his life. So thank you Royal Canin for the dry food but the wet yikes.... … more

Unbelievable
By Bill on May 27, 2021
I have searched for years to find a healthier food for my finicky little cat and until now it's been extremely difficult. The Hydrolyzed Protein HP Dry Cat Food is the best I've ever purchased. It has helped tremendously with my cats allergies and she has gained a full pound in two weeks time. She loves the taste and eats more than the previous products I've tried. Thank you Chewy for such a excellent product.

Oliver loves his new food
By DeeceeKitty on May 24, 2021
Oliver needed to change from Royal Canin S/O to this Hydrolized Protein with S/O index. His veterinarian said it was fine to finish the bag of the old diet before starting the new diet. I gave him a sample taste of the Hydrolized Protein, he liked it so much he refuses to finish what's left of the S/O.

Great taste and works as prescribed!
By Evie on May 22, 2021
Evie loves this food! I even think it smells pretty good. Evie was prescribed this for her sensitive stomach and constant vomiting. She has gotten SO much better since starting on this food. She was vomiting twice or more a week, and now is vomiting less than once a month. Yay!

Decreased Cat Vomit
By SmokeysMom on May 21, 2021
My cat Smokey used to vomit undigested food nearly every day. We transitioned him to Royal Canin hydrolized protein cat food about 6 months ago. It helped his digestion almost immediately, and now he rarely ever vomits.
