Royal Canin Veterinary Feline Hypoallergenic

I was advised to try this as the vet believes my cat may have IBD. However, we have tried it three times and each time he is vomiting within 10 minutes, even if we just feed him as little as 5 grams. He has been eating chicken with no issues, so it's back to that while we figure out our next step.

This food has been an absolute lifesaver. I can’t even begin to describe the level of stress I was under before putting my boy on this diet. Literally everything else, including other hydrolysed diets, caused him to have bloody diarrhoea. My only wish is that Royal Canin would make a wet version of this food, just like they do for dogs!

Cat was vomiting occasionally & vet recommended switching to Royal Canin Hypoallergenic. I switched her gradually and she had SEVERE DIARRHOEA at once-twice a day for 6 wks, and vomiting more frequently after switching onto this food, until the day after she was fully back on her old food poop returned to solids and vomit stopped. She was taken off all other treats so certain it was this food causing the issues. £900 vet bills & 6 weeks of stress & cleaning up diarrhoea/vomit. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

This is literally the only food that works for my cat who suffers from GI issues (frequent loose stools & fresh blood on any other food) We have tried other hypoallergenic/hydrolysed diets, novel proteins, fresh food etc. this is the only food that’s consistently worked for him. His sister, who has no health issues, also loves eating this dry food.

After my cat developed a sudden food intolerance and was plagued by itching and scratching, this food has finally brought peace back. She loves eating it and tolerates it exceptionally well. Admittedly, it's a bit more expensive, but it serves its purpose perfectly, and that's what matters most.

Thank you for the quick delivery of the food for my cat :) Your online shop is truly excellent!

This is the only dry food/food overall that our cat can tolerate without getting a rash or anything like that. Unfortunately, that's not the case with the wet food...

Our cats' favourite dry food – and according to the vet, it's healthy too.

I’ve tried so many different types of food, but none of them come close to this one. My two furry friends eat it without hesitation, and the bowl is always empty. Sure, it’s relatively expensive in comparison, but it’s well received, their coats are shiny, and their overall health is more than satisfactory.

My cat has a food intolerance and used to vomit very often. After switching to this food, she no longer has any symptoms and eats it very happily. I’m more than satisfied!

My two tigers take to it very well. I tried another food for a while, but I've gone back to Royal Canin.

I have a Norwegian Forest Cat. The intestinal food has kibble so small that she swallows it without chewing. The vet suggested I try hypoallergenic food. Hence my question. It's a shame there aren't any small packs available :-8

My cat has IBD and I was advised by my vet to put him on a this with nothing for a month to try and settle his bad bowel inflammation. my cat loved the taste and enjoyed it but unfortunately it gives him very very bad wind, to the point he was having very soft / diarrhoea and couldn’t make it to the litter. As I haven’t been feeding him anything else it’s obvious this doesn’t agree with him. Switched to black fly dry food and he’s recovered.

My cat in her senior yrs (10) started to suffer loose & smelly stools, and was over grooming to point of patches of baldness. Then she started the scratching which cause huge open sores.Thought was stress at first & worked on that but upon vets suggestion moved to a hypoallergenic diet so tried royal canin’s version. improvement was rapid and dramatic. My cat looks like her old self again. Glossy thick coat and & no stratching. I feed nothing else & she loves it.

This food may well have saved my foster-cat's life. She has really stabilised on it. Not only is she no longer scratching (after 12 weeks on this food only) but her occasional bouts of diarrhoea have cleared up too. Now, if we can stop her licking - we will be able to rehome her! Please note, she has had NO other food but this. no treats, no human food - nothing.

My tomcat always got along well with the old formulation of this food. After the redesign of the packaging, he no longer liked eating it, so I stopped giving it to him for a few months. He's been having it again for the past 4 weeks, and since then he's been vomiting regularly—now every day—and the colour is definitely the same as the food... This naturally raises the question of whether the recipe has been changed as well?! I’ll be steering clear of it from now on, for the sake of my cat! Such a shame!

My allergy-prone pet tolerates the food so-so. Smaller amounts are fine, but larger ones aren't. However, tolerance is, of course, individual and therefore not decisive for the review. I really like the small pellets. This makes the food perfect for clicker training and saves me the hassle of cutting up treats that are far too big.

Our tomcat with food intolerance always loved eating this food. Now we’ve bought a new bag of food, and the cat won’t touch it anymore. Why do the ingredients in cat food always have to be changed from time to time, especially when cats are already often very picky—and even more so with hypoallergenic food that we rely on?

Our British Shorthair, Trixie was having severe vomiting and diarrhoea and the vet recommended this to treat IBD. She’s been eating this for two weeks and has had zero instances of gastric distress. I was worried that Trixie would not touch it because it smells so grim but she took to it straight away - much to our amazement. Great results so far, fingers crossed that this will sort out her tummy problems.

I’ve tried all the common hydrolysed brands – some my cat won’t touch at all, others she eats but still scratches herself raw. This variety is well tolerated and eaten gladly, so I can only give my recommendation. Plus, you usually only get this food from the vet, which makes it even more recommendable, as Zooplus has always delivered lightning-fast so far.
