Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein HP Dry Cat Food

We tried for ages to figure out what was causing our DSH tortoiseshell cat to lick all the fur off her belly, making it completely bald. It was like a compulsion, any time we weren't actively watching her, she'd start aggressively licking her belly again, stripping all the fur off. Anti-anxiety medication & top-of-the-line limited ingredient food for ultra-sensitive stomachs made no difference. Finally, our vet recommended this special, Hydrolyzed Protein Food, & it totally worked! I guess the meat proteins are broken down & recombined in a way that doesn't trigger allergies. Fair warning, this food kinda smells (more so than regular cat food!) but the cat LOVES IT.

NOTE: We tried Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein dry cat food when the Hills Science Diet Hydrolyzed Protein dry cat food was out-of-stock. Both work GREAT for our cat & now she has an option in flavors! … more

Good food. She eats it well and we didn’t have to try to get her to eat it. She took right to it and her health is improving. She was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. Her coat is healthier as is her overall appearance and she’s back to her sassy cat self. I cannot say enough about how hard Chewy worked to get this food to our kitty. They called and faxed and kept calling until we were able to get the prescription. I have a great place to get it from. You guys are top notch! It was so great to be able to talk to an actual person that even called back when they said they would! Thank you.

It’s unfortunate when your cat is allergic to his favorite thing. Chicken. I had him on PV, then it was discontinued. So he was on PR when he suddenly decided he hated it and wouldn’t eat it. Lost several pounds. :( so I asked for this. Toebiter is back up to his weight! He loves the treats too. That’s why I even thought of it. It is like crack for cats. XD

Strange as this seems, my cat with the elevated liver enzymes isn't eating this all that much vs. my cat who licks herself obsessively. The latter hasn't improved markedly from other products, but after reading a review of this food by a woman who had a cat with the same issue which it cured, I'm finding similar results! The food does not get ignored by any of our putties, and 10 can't be wrong! Just wish it was less costly.

I was told by the vet that using a new cat food might be difficult for my cat to adjust to eating. Not so. He eats it just as if it was the long time diet he has always enjoyed. I am so glad about this because, as I understand this is a special diet food, it is priced well above what we have ever paid. But to keep Cosmo well, I do not mind buying this for him.

I had to find a new food for my cat, who has a sensitive digestive system. She has only eaten two foods in 15 years. When Hills had a national out of stock for their ZD formula, my vet suggested this food. Hills just lost a customer. My cat has put on a pound, which she needed to, and LOVES this food. Her constitution is more balanced and she looks great. IF my cat will eat it, so would yours!

She has no teeth, but can gobble this stuff up! She has digestion and gastrointestinal issues (pancreatitis) and this has helped her immensely. It took awhile to figure out which food she could have and this worked great! We feed this to her as treats or as a meal as needed. I do believe this needs to be prescribed by your veterinarian.

I bought Royal Canin only because Hills Prescription z/d became unavailable. My 14 year old kitty has inflammatory bowel disease and, while he loves the taste of Royal Canin, he is constantly hungry. The hydrolyzed protein is soy and there is no real meat in this food. I have to feed my cat twice the amount of Royal Canin as Hills. Non of the prescription foods mimic a natural food for a cat but a prescription diet has controlled the symptoms of IBD.

My vet suggested this food for my stress pooping kitty. She likes to eat leaves and crackers and well...anything crunchy. This unfortunately makes her tummy upset, this mixed with any sort of stressor makes for a diarrhea situation. This food is easier to digest, making anything else she gets her paws on less likely to upset her sensitive tummy.

Trixie was at a point of throwing up daily. The food she’d been on for the past year and a half failed to keep her gut happy. She had problems tolerating food from the time she was rescued as a stray. My Vet was pretty sure she had some sort of allergy. Since placing her on the Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein HP dry, she’s enjoying her food and keeping it down. I’m a super happy momma
