Full details

FAQs

What makes Royal Canin Anallergenic different from other sensitive stomach foods?

Royal Canin Anallergenic uses feather protein hydrolysate, where proteins are broken down into extremely small oligopeptides and free amino acids. This makes it one of the most hypoallergenic diets available, designed for severe intolerances where other diets may fail, unlike general sensitive stomach foods.

Can I feed this food without a vet's recommendation?

No, Royal Canin Anallergenic is a veterinary-exclusive diet. It is specifically formulated for medical conditions and should only be fed under the guidance and recommendation of a veterinary professional.

How long should my dog remain on this diet?

The duration of feeding will be determined by your veterinarian. For dogs with chronic nutrient intolerances, nutritional management with Royal Canin Anallergenic may be continued throughout their lifetime, provided it effectively manages their condition.

Is this food suitable for puppies or pregnant/lactating dogs?

This food is generally formulated for adult dogs. For puppies or pregnant/lactating dogs, specific nutritional needs differ. Consult your veterinarian for appropriate dietary recommendations for these life stages, especially if they have diagnosed allergies.

Can I mix Royal Canin Anallergenic with other dog food or treats?

For accurate diagnosis and effective management of nutrient intolerances, it is crucial to feed *only* Royal Canin Anallergenic. Mixing it with other foods or giving other treats will compromise its hypoallergenic properties and may trigger allergic reactions.

What is the difference between the 3Kg and 8Kg bags?

The only difference between the 3Kg and 8Kg bags is the quantity of food provided. Both contain the identical Royal Canin Veterinary Anallergenic Dry Dog Food formulation.

Troubleshooting

My dog is refusing to eat the food.

This diet is highly palatable, but some dogs may be resistant to new foods. Ensure a slow transition from their previous food if not already done. If refusal persists, consult your veterinarian to rule out underlying medical issues or discuss alternative strategies.

My dog's allergy symptoms are not improving.

Ensure strict adherence to the diet – absolutely no other food, treats, or chews should be given. Even small amounts of other foods can trigger a reaction. If symptoms persist after several weeks of strict feeding, consult your veterinarian, as the issue may not be food-related or a different approach may be needed.

My dog has diarrhea or vomiting after starting the food.

This could be a natural adjustment period, especially if the transition was abrupt. If symptoms are severe or persist for more than a few days, stop feeding and contact your veterinarian immediately. They can assess if it's an adverse reaction or an unrelated issue.
