Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein HP Dry Cat Food is designed to help adult kitties who suffer from tummy troubles, hair loss and itching due to food sensitivities. This highly palatable food is made with hydrolyzed soy proteins, which break down into tiny pieces so they’re easily absorbed. These little pieces also have less risk of triggering an immune reaction than traditional proteins. B vitamins, amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids support paw-somely healthy skin and coat. This food also features an exclusive blend of fibers to help support healthy digestion, purr-fect for cats who are prone to digestive upsets like diarrhea.
Key Benefits- Diet formulated specifically for cats with food sensitivities and skin, coat and digestive issues.

- Fibers and prebiotics support healthy digestion.
- B vitamins, amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids support healthy skin and coats.

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.

Cats love this food
By food on Oct 23, 2020
I was nervous about purchasing a prescription cat food for my cats but one of my cats has had really bad diarrhea his whole life. He is only 1 and a half years old. The doctor prescribed hydrolyzed diet and we tried this food out. BOTH of my cats, even the one who is not on the Rx, love the food. I am actually very surprised as I thought we were going to have to try several different foods before finding one that they would both eat.

Perfect for vomiting kitties :(
By BreR on Oct 9, 2020
My vet recommended this product for my kitties for their continuous spitting up/vomiting situation. Since the babies have been on this, there has been rare instances of events. I have a Calico, a black and white Farrell, and a Rag Doll all white kitty. The Calico and the Rag Doll are inside kitties while the Farrell kitty is an inside/outside kitty. It was mainly my rag doll that had the most trouble. However, they all seem to be benefiting from it. Thank you Royal Canin for felines. They all feel much better :)

IBD Food Trial
By sunny1hiker on Oct 22, 2020
Specialist recommended this food for cats with IBD - my cat loves the food, is excited to eat it and has thus far (~4 weeks) been doing well on it. It also has a higher fiber content that other hydrolyzed diets and is Urinary SO index - which is important for my cat who has crystals in her urine.

great food!
By Kittymom on Sep 2, 2020
We switched to this food after my young kitty started having ongoing digestive issues and was diagnosed with allergies and pancreatitis. Since we have been on this food, almost a year combined with a monthly b12 injection, he hasn’t had any flare ups or issues with his allergies. Before this he would be at the vets office every couple of weeks. The price is definitely worth it if we are not in the vets office all the time! It was also easy to switch the other cats in the house so they are all on the same food.

Amazing food!
By BoyCatMom on Sep 16, 2020
My cat has thrown up almost every day since he was 6 months old, finally started this food after 1 1/2 years and many food switches later. He has not thrown up one time since the diet started! Highly recommend if your vet thinks it’s a good idea. WORTH THE PRICE. **side note for multiple pet owners- I feed both my cats this food and both love it, soft stool problem in my other cat has also been fixed due to this food.

Works for us
By Yankeegirl86 on Aug 28, 2020
I just adopted a special needs cat with digestive issues. The poor cat had diarrhea and the former owner surrendered the cat to animal control. The rescue group who pulled him told me that for months they tried different foods but found that Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein HP solved the problem. I have three other cats so to make feeding simpler they now all eat the same food. So far no issues and they all seem to like it just fine.

Didn't work.. Made my cat ill
By mEgg on Aug 8, 2020
This food was absolutely horrible for my poor baby Ryuk. He has been struggling with skin issues and severe allergies for a long time and this was among the first treatments recommended by a vet. Let me tell you my boy is a total garbage disposal. He tore open a sealed bag of doritos while I was at work and went to town on them. He will try to steal a cheez it right from your mouth. He got an empty goldfish cracker bag out of the trash and stuck on his head. He is NOT picky. But he HATED this food. After being on it for about two weeks, his eyes were very dull and lifeless, his coat was disgusting and clumpy looking. He was constantly screaming and begging for food. Eventually, he refused This food was absolutely horrible for my poor baby Ryuk.

After being on it for about two weeks, his eyes were very dull and lifeless, his coat was disgusting and clumpy looking. He was constantly screaming and begging for food. Eventually, he refused this food outright and would rather starve. He went from a small 8lbs to a skeleton-esque 6lbs in just a month due to this [expensive!] diet. He is now thriving on Natural Balance LID tuna. I really advise this food being a total last resort... None of my 3 cats liked it and my meez got very ill. Fortunately Chewy let me return the food but it was an extremely long process to do so.. … more

just "meh" but sadly no other approved options
By caturdaynites on Aug 7, 2020
my poor calico got switched from the urinary diet to this one because her tummy just wasnt doing well. good side of of this food is it definitely works. she hasnt thrown up or had issues from the other end. down sides are it costs more, the flavor isnt as good so she only eats it when she's absolutely hungry enough and certain she isnt getting anything else. the treats for the prescription are "meh" for her and just feel bad that she doesnt like it as much as her old prescription. i'm hoping they improve the flavor and come out with a wet version. it does the job but hopefully they'll make something our special kitties like more

Vet Recommended it
By Bellagirl on Oct 16, 2020
My cat has been vomiting throughout the past year. Nothing found in blood work or x-rays. My cat wanted nothing to do with this food. We are trying Purina Sensitive stomach first.

Amazing quality
By Sarahid on Aug 25, 2020
I've been feeding my very sensitive kitty with these kibbles for a few years now and they are the only thing that warrantees he is not going to have explosive diarrhea or vomit, whenever the other kitties in the house try them they are like treats for them! I strongly recommend this for cats with very sensitive stomachs/ digestive issues
