Royal Canin Veterinary Hypoallergenic Wet Dog Food - 12 x 400G

This food is a therapeutic diet formulated for specific medical conditions like nutrient intolerances or allergies. A veterinarian must diagnose the condition and determine if this specific diet is the most appropriate and beneficial for your dog's health needs.

The duration of the diet will depend entirely on your dog's specific condition and your veterinarian's assessment. Initial trials often last 8-12 weeks, but many dogs with chronic conditions may need to remain on this specialized diet long-term to manage their symptoms effectively.

No. To ensure the diet's effectiveness in managing nutrient intolerances, it is crucial to avoid all other foods, treats, and table scraps unless they are specifically approved by your veterinarian as hypoallergenic and compatible with the diet.

Hydrolyzed protein refers to proteins that have been broken down into very small fragments (peptides). These smaller fragments are less likely to be recognized by your dog's immune system as allergens, significantly reducing the risk of an allergic reaction and helping to manage food sensitivities.

Yes, Royal Canin Hypoallergenic is also available as a dry food. If you are considering mix-feeding or switching between wet and dry formulations, always consult your veterinarian for guidance on rationing and suitability.

Once opened, any unused portion of the wet food should be covered tightly and refrigerated immediately. It should be used within 24-48 hours to maintain freshness, palatability, and prevent spoilage.

While Royal Canin formulates for palatability, some dogs can be finicky. Try warming the food slightly to body temperature to enhance its aroma. If persistent refusal occurs, consult your veterinarian; they may suggest alternative strategies or consider other suitable hypoallergenic diets.

Ensure you are following the gradual transition schedule. Try warming the food slightly (to body temperature) to enhance its aroma and palatability. If refusal persists, consult your veterinarian, as they may have additional recommendations or need to re-evaluate the diet.

This can happen if the transition is too rapid. Slow down the transition process, extending each stage over more days. Ensure you are not overfeeding and are following rationing guidelines. If symptoms are severe or persist, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Strict adherence to the diet is critical. Ensure no other foods, treats, or table scraps are being given. If symptoms persist despite strict adherence, it's essential to re-evaluate the situation with your veterinarian. Other factors, such as environmental allergies, might be at play, or a different therapeutic diet may be needed.

Once opened, unused portions of wet food must be covered tightly and refrigerated immediately. It should be consumed within 24-48 hours. Avoid leaving opened food at room temperature for extended periods.

Always refer to the feeding guidelines provided by your veterinarian, as these are tailored to your dog's specific needs and condition. If you are mix-feeding with dry Royal Canin Hypoallergenic, ensure you calculate the total daily caloric intake accurately under vet guidance.
