Product Information

Full details

This ROYAL CANIN® Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie dry dog food is designed for adult dogs experiencing nutrient intolerances, helping manage adverse food reactions and maintain a healthy weight. Its key benefit is the use of highly digestible, hydrolyzed protein to minimize allergic responses, while a moderate calorie and phosphorus content supports kidney function and weight management. A significant caveat is that this is a veterinary-exclusive diet and requires professional recommendation and supervision.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is hydrolyzed protein?

Hydrolyzed protein is protein that has been broken down into very small pieces (peptides and amino acids) that are too small to be recognized by the dog's immune system as an allergen, thus reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

How long should my dog eat this food?

This diet is typically fed long-term under veterinary supervision. The duration depends on your dog's specific health needs and response to the diet. Always follow your veterinarian's recommendations.

Can I feed this food to my puppy?

No, ROYAL CANIN® Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie is formulated for adult dogs and is not suitable for growth. Puppies have different nutritional requirements.

What if my dog has kidney disease?

This diet has moderate phosphorus levels to support kidney function. However, if your dog has advanced kidney disease, your veterinarian may recommend a different specific diet. Always consult your vet.

Can I mix this with other dog food?

It is best to feed this diet exclusively as directed by your veterinarian. Mixing with other foods, including treats, can interfere with the hypoallergenic formulation and the management of nutrient intolerances. If you must mix, ensure it's with other veterinary-approved Royal Canin products and follow veterinary advice.

How should I store the food?

Store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly after each feeding to maintain freshness and prevent moisture or air from degrading the kibble.

Where can I buy this food?

This is a veterinary diet and can typically only be purchased from veterinary clinics or through online retailers authorized by Royal Canin, usually requiring a prescription or veterinary authorization.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the new food.

Ensure the transition is slow and gradual. You can try slightly warming the food or mixing in a small amount of veterinary-approved wet food if recommended by your vet.

Increased digestive upset (e.g., gas, diarrhea) during transition.

Slow down the transition process further. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.

Dog is not losing weight despite feeding according to the guide.

Consult your veterinarian to re-evaluate the feeding amount, as individual metabolic rates vary. Ensure no other treats or table scraps are being given.

Skin condition does not improve.

Discuss with your veterinarian. It may take several weeks to see full results, or another dietary adjustment might be necessary.
