Made IBD worse
This food was on the top of the list recommended by vets for my cat’s diarrhoea. Within 24 hours of giving her half of this and half of RC sensitivity control wet she had 3 diarrhoeas, then no stool at all, then 3 diarrhoeas again and on the day 4 she 15 episodes of very loose diarrhoea. All that time she was still on steroid medication as well. This meant to be gradual transition and then weaning off steroids but turned in absolute nightmare. Now I have nearly 2kg of this food she can’t eat!

My cats love these and no more upset stomachs.
I keep these for treats, since my cat can't have any normal treats due to stomach issues. She loves these and even threw the tub on the floor, trying to get into them, which she has never done before. My other cat can have normal treats, but he also loves these.

Great
The only thing that works for my IBD cat. Vets are pleased with his progress on it. Tried many other things, foods supplements etc. My fussy dog tries to steal it so can’t be too bad!

WOW
Have tried so many things for poor sambas colitis that to be honest I wasn't holding out much hope. However as if by magic within 24 hours simba was pooping what can only be described as proper firm cat poop. no blood no squirty stinky poop just firm non smelling poop. he is a fussy eater so I am astonished that something that looks bland has got him hooked but there you go.

Beware! Causes nutritional deficiency
I'd give it 1 star if not for the fact that it's the only food that our IBD cat tolerates! However, it's given both cats horribly dry skin and one of them has whisker breakages and brittle nails now as well. I am deeply disappointed by the nutritional content of this food, especially given that it's falsely marketed as a "complete" food. I'd have been more forgiving if it was only my IBD cat that faced absorption issues but it's totally unacceptable to me. Plus, the cost continues to rise!!

Didn’t work- try a good quality chicken free food first
My 2 year old Maine Coon started scratching her head to the point it was raw and bleeding. The vet suggested we use this RC Anallergenic food to rule out food allergy. 8 weeks of this as the only food source she lost 1kg and was still scratching. We went in to spend hundreds of pounds on creams and meds until I found a Reddit post that said that many cats were allergic to chicken. After 2 years of misery she was moved to Thrive PremiumPlus Salmon and Herring and after 2 weeks stopped scratching!

Great for IBD
Miki had a problem with vomiting daily. He has been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This has stopped his vomiting completely. He prefers to to the Sterilized Royal Canin that my other cats eat. It smells a bit like Maggi & Miki is attracted to it.
Perfect cat food
My cat been on this since she was 18 months old due to terrible tummy issues, had tests done and she was intolerant to most food. This food does not irritate her tummy and can have treats too in moderation because of this food.

Not cheap but worth it
I needed a good quality food that agrees with all 9 of my cats including one with ibs and another with diabetes. This is really good stuff and the truth is in the litter box!

Excellent
We adopted two senior rescue cats, both with very sensitive tummies. The more affected of our two cats was being sick daily having tried various different digestive diets - our vet recommended we switch to Royal Canin Anallergenic and it has completely resolved all upset tummies for our boys. Plus, they absolutely love it!
Improvement
So my cat has had a lot of stomach issues for years - many tests and interventions have had no impact. Tried this with little hope it would make a difference... my cat has been on it for nearly three weeks and although he still has quite loose poo there is a lot less of it, and it now doesn't smell (needed to evacuate the house before using this food whenever he used the cat tray). He has stopped loosing weight and has become much more active and happy. Really worth a try.
Excellent customer service
I had previously bought another brand of dry cat food for my cat but it transpired that she needed to be on an anallergenic diet due to allergies she suffers. I had bought three bags of the other food and when I asked if I could swap them for the Royal Canin Anallergenic food, Zooplus very kindly replaced it without argument. My cat also loves it, which is a bonus.
I have never had anything other than first class customer service from Zooplus and will continue to get my cat food from them.

Cleared my cat’s dermatitis(resulting from allergie)
My vet suggested this food for my 1year old male cat, after his biopsy results returned and we discovered he had dermatitis, most probably from something he is allergic to.The first thing I did was switch to this food reccomended by the vet and after 2 months he was almost fully cleared up.He is healthy, full of energy and has a fantastic coat of fur, very soft and shinny.

Not for my cats unfortunately
Pity I went big and bought the 4kg pack because my two cats really aren't keen on this. On the plus side, they were getting a bit chunky, so it may assist with weight loss. Get it if your vet tells you it's necessary, but if, like me, you were just trying a different food because your pets kept throwing up more mainstream kibble, I can't recommend it. At least, try the smallest size before going all in.

Smelly but no reactions
Our bengal boy was overgrooming and was put on steroids. The steroids gave him diabetes so he was taken off the steroids but he's back to over grooming and vomiting. This food smells awful to my nose but he likes it and his tummy is looking better, no vomiting and diarrhea is firming up. Fingers crossed this continues.

Amazing progress
Our senior rescue cat came to us last summer and we have had severe problems with him vomiting - generally 1-2 times a day, otherwise totally fine in himself. We have tried several different sensitive/digestive/wet/dry foods and nothing has worked. We switched to a new vet who recommended Royal Canin Anallergenic, he has been on this food for a week now and has not been sick once. It's early days yet but that in itself is a huge victory for us and he seems a much happier, more relaxed cat!

GI Issues
My Maine coon cat was prescribed this food by our vet as she has severe GI problems, chronic diarrhoea , IBD. This food worked a magic for her. She is doing much better and has regular and proper bowel movements now. It is expensive but was worth it. Smells strange but all my fussy cats liked it.
Unappealling
Unfortunately, my cat refuses to eat this snd would prefer to starve herself. No idea if it works or not... she even ate the dogs royal canin anallergenic food but wouldn’t eat this.

The best
My cat Archie is allergic to anything and everything. We have tried everything and every single food was making him sick and it did upset his stomach badly.Since we have switched to Royal Allergenic he never felt better.
He is also on medications but this food is the best it could be! Thank you Royal canine !

Happy with this food
Our cat has had allergies for a long time... turned out to be a food allergy... bald belly... skin red and raw from licking because of the itching... now she has much, much less itching and even some hair is growing back on her belly... that's after about 6 or 7 weeks.
You really can't give her ANYTHING else during this diet... luckily, she does eat it... sometimes a bit reluctantly... but it works.

I’ve ordered this food several times before because my tomcat had to change his diet. It worked – he had constant diarrhoea, and after about a quarter of a year, everything went back to normal.

Kibble snubbed by my 2 cats and a whole pack left untouched
I bought these kibbles on the vet’s advice because my oldest cat has been having allergic reactions since the start of summer, and medication hasn’t helped. I was really hopeful after reading the reviews that his condition would improve. Unfortunately, after a few bites, he completely turned his nose up at his bowl. And my younger cat did the same! Now I’m stuck with a barely opened bag of kibbles.

Works great on our kitty!
Our cat can't handle anything and gets an upset stomach from almost everything, but this food is a lifesaver 🩷

Really nice feed
Our two ragdoll cats ate Royal Canin's dental care kibble for years, but because our tomcat started having a sensitive stomach, he couldn't tolerate anything except these kibbles. It did take some getting used to for them. The female cat protested at first, but in the end it worked out. The tomcat ate too quickly because the anallergenic kibbles are like confetti compared to what he used to eat, which he really had to chew before swallowing. But we solved that by using anti-gulp bowls.

Dog size
They're huge. This damn obsession with making cat food as if they're tigers. Apart from that, there are no alternatives: it's either Royal or Farmina, but Farmina only has fish (of course).

Miracle cure
Incredible! Since we started trying these kibbles, our cat—who used to suffer from chronic vomiting and severe diarrhoea, sometimes even with blood due to food allergies—hasn’t had any relapses. We had already tried hypoallergenic kibbles before, but they didn’t help.
Sure, these aren’t the cheapest kibbles out there, but for us, they save us from big vet bills and, most importantly, our cat can now live a normal life.

May help some allergic cats, but mine preferred to fast
My cat completely refused these kibbles. I had to stop the trial after 24 hours. The product does seem to be a solution for cats with severe allergies, judging by the positive reviews. However, owners should be aware that their cat might rather go on a hunger strike than touch them. In our case, the refusal was absolute.

Good product, but gets soft and greasy quickly
My 6-year-old cat responds well to this product, less soft poo. But she won’t eat it if the kibble has been out for an hour, because it gets soft, so I only give her small portions at a time.

We are very satisfied
Our cat has been getting cortisone injections every few weeks for years, most recently at intervals of 6 weeks, because she kept getting gastritis. After trying various elimination diets, single protein foods, and going through lots of different brands, we had pretty much given up hope of ever finding something she could tolerate. So far, things are looking very good. Yes, it is more expensive, but compared to vet and emergency costs—and having a happy cat—I much prefer it this way!

My cat has been on these kibbles for about six months now. They’re quite large, so he has a bit of trouble with them. Even though he’d rather eat his sister’s food, he does eat them in the end. The food works well for his coat.
There’s been a significant price increase from Royal Canin recently, but I think it’s still cheaper than at the vet.

Top notch
After months of searching for a miracle, we finally found these kibbles—the only ones my Guizmo, who's super allergic, can tolerate... He's been on them for a few years now and I have nothing to complain about. Except for the price 🤦🤦

Changed kibbles?
Recently, my cats have been doing better thanks to these kibbles. However, the latest bag I ordered last week suddenly has smaller kibbles than usual, and they don’t smell as strong anymore. I’m worried there might be a production error, with the wrong kibbles put in the wrong packaging.

Cat Food Allergy
I looked into the topic,
cat has an allergy to chicken and shouldn’t eat feather meal, not even hydrolysed.
The list of ingredients is a bit scary.
I’ve found better food for my cat, the scratching has eased off.
We’re happy.
Also, it’s very expensive.

Unfortunately, both of my cats started having an allergic reaction to Royal Canin food — they began vomiting and losing fur. I don’t know if the company switched to cheaper ingredients to cut costs, but this is the last product from this brand I’ll ever buy.

Really helped our cat
Our cat had suffered from liquid diarrhoea for years due to a malabsorption issue in her intestines. This food was recommended to us by the vet as a last resort, and it actually helped. After just a few months, her stools were back to normal. She also really enjoys eating it. The smell is fine too, kind of reminds me of peanut puffs. We’re very satisfied and can definitely recommend it for similar problems—of course, only after consulting a vet!
