great for food allergies
By MPON on Mar 31, 2021
My Boston terrier started suffering food allergies at 6 months old (it took quite a while to figure out the issues he was having) finally the vet switched him to Royal Canin HP diet and it’s really improved the symptoms food allergies were causing and even has made his coat more shiney!

WARNING to Pet Parents!!
By CHFParent on Jun 19, 2020
My dogs were put on this food due to one of them having severe food sensitivities and this was our last resort. While I asked if it was safe for my other dogs to be on it as well, I relied on my vet to know the answer to that question and did not research it myself. I ended up with TWO dogs in severe My dogs were put on this food due to one of them having severe food sensitivities and this was our last resort. While I asked if it was safe for my other dogs to be on it as well, I relied on my vet to know the answer to that question and did not research it myself. I ended up with TWO dogs in severe Heart Failure after a couple of years on this diet! I then learned from an expert Holistic Vet that this food was NEVER intended for long-term use. It is ONLY used in the short-term to determine a dog's food sensitivities. It simply does not have the adequate levels of nutrients required to maintain, repair & regenerate heart muscle! Basically, it is SOY PROTEIN and chicken fat. There are other ingredients listed but, according to Dr. Basko (a premier expert in holistic veterinary medicine) those nutrients are not in suffient amounts to support heart health long-term. I urge you, DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. Figure out what your dog is reacting to and put them on a healthy custom diet. This food can in the short-term help you do that, but DON'T KEEP THEM ON IT. You may end up with dogs in heart (and renal) failure also! (ALSO FYI, Royal Canin is no longer using the original French formulations/recipes which made this an excellent brand. Now made in the U.S. the quality formerly associated with the name, is no longer applicable. Just like other commercial foods, standards are lowered for cost considerations. Due to non-disclosure by manufacturers, it is next to impossible to be sure they do not contain heavy metals (including arsenic) which is found in most commercial dog foods when independently tested.) … more

She likes them
By lisalee on Mar 30, 2021
My vet prescribed the Purina pro plan Hydrolyzed food and treats. We switched to Royal Canin for the taste. My dog would take the Purina treat and bury it somewhere. They were hidden all over the house. She eats the Royal Canin treats. Goes crazy when she hears the bag. She loves these hydrolyzed treats.

Fantastic, great dog food!
By Harriet on Mar 27, 2021
My dog was sick, losing weight and diagnosed with a protein losing deficiency. After many trys of different types of food, THIS one works! My dog gained 1.5 lbs and his blood work all reverted to normal. Thanks Royal Canin!

Seems to be working
By Oma2dogs on Mar 26, 2021
Our vet prescribed this for a possible food allergy. I had my doubts, but after about one week on it, we're seeing a difference. Less obsessive licking is the most obvious improvement.

No more licking
By Rosie on Feb 8, 2021
Rosie would like her feet and legs so bad, down to the skin. While I was trying everything the vet suggested, my little Rosie had all these spots on all her legs and feet. This dog food and the treats, she stopped immediately, hair grew back. No more biting and licking her hair off.

Best dogfood for skin allergies
By LMedley on Jan 31, 2021
My Jack Russell suffers from horrible food allergies and skin allergies. This is the only dogfood I've found that keeps his skin condition at bay. He loves it too which is a huge bonus! I was excited to see that Royal Canin is making it for small dogs now. The larger kibbles were hard from him to clear from his teeth resulting in tarter build up. This was the best news of the day for me !!! Thank you Royal Canin.
