Royal Canin Hypoallergenic - complete dry food for 1+ dogs with food intolerances. Formulated to reduce ingredient and nutrient intolerances. With selected sources of protein and carbohydrate.
Food intolerances and allergies occur when your pet's immune system reacts to something, frequently innocuous. The gastro-intestinal tract and skin are two very sensitive organs which are exposed to all manner of things and sometimes the body can't cope. When this happens your pet's immune system reacts with food intolerance or allergies.
Your dog will present with increased itchy skin or diarrhoea because it is reacting to a specific ingredient in its food such as animal or vegetable protein which is potentially allergenic. It doesn't matter how much or how little of something your pet's food contains, because even the smallest trace can trigger a bad allergic reaction. Unfortunately pet owners can only rarely identify the exact ingredient which causes an allergic reaction. Most pets don't suffer with extreme allergies but rather with a variety of food intolerances. No matter whether it is a clinically recognised specific food allergy or a more general intolerance of certain ingredients or nutrients, it can be distressing and worrying for you and your pet.
Indications:
Food elimination trial
Food intolerance / allergy
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Chronic idiopathic colitis
Food allergies with dermatological and/or gastro-intestinal symptoms
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI)
Dysbacteria
Contraindications:
Acute pancreatitis
History of pancreatitis
Hyperlipidaemia
Key benefits:
Hydrolysed protein: Hydrolysed soya protein consists of peptides with low molecular weight. This makes the food hypoallergenic and highly digestible.
Skin barrier: A patented complex with high levels of biotin, niacin and pantothenic acid, combined with a zinc-linoleic acid mixture, helps to reduce fluid loss through the skin and to improve the barrier effect of the skin.
EPA/DHA: Fatty acids to help maintain a healthy digestive system and a healthy skin. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids which can help to reduce inflammatory skin reactions.
Digestive Health: With nutrients to support a balanced digestive system. A combination of fermentable fibre (beet pulp, FOS) with zeolite promotes balanced intestinal flora and supports a healthy intestinal mucous membrane. This food is lactose and gluten free
Changing your pet's diet and length of treatment:
Changing your pet's diet should generally be carried out over several days, however, where food allergy or intolerance is suspected, or where there is acute diarrhoea, HYPOALLERGENIC can be fed without a transition phase. If signs of intolerance disappear, this diet can be used indefinitely.
Further Information:
HYPOALLERGENIC is recommended if your pet suffers from chronic dermatitis caused by allergies.
Therapeutic veterinary diets are carefully formulated and recommended to be used in conjunction with veterinary advice and support. Royal Canin strongly recommend you seek advice from your Vet prior to and during feeding of any of these products to your pet.
I can not recommend this food high enough. I had a rough collie who was a slave to colllitus He would have severe flare ups making him very very ill needing hospitalisation , steroids antibiotics and a lot of unhappy days . It was the vet nurse who recommend this food. Being desparate I would try ANYTHING. Thankfully I owe the last 5 years of his life to this food . He did still have flare ups but no where on the scale and previous, No medication required.. We had a happy dog at last

Happy dog !!
After countless months of sickness and very loose stools, nearly £2,000.00 worth of tests to see what the problem was, my collie X staffie has been on this food for over 2 years now and he is fit and healthy. He has a beautiful coat and no problems with his stomach. He also has skin allergies which he is on medication for and the food also helps. I have never had any problems with Zooplus and delivery of his food, it always arrives 2-3 days after order and their price is the most competitive

Excellent product
Excellent product. I have 4 dogs: 2 rotties, a staffi and a french mastiff X am bulldog (very sensitive, anything wrong he eats his skin turns red and eyes become very irritated). With this product I can feed the same food to every one ... the mastiff X is the worry, but I have been feeding him this food for a could of years now and he has never had any reaction. Also, they all seem to love it and they have never left anything. I also use it as treats during training!

Hypoallergenic DR21
My dachshund has an intolerance to chicken. As soon as we switched to the hypoallergenic dry food she stopped being sick, her stools were less smelly and she stopped biting her feet/legs. She’s been on it for about 18 months now, but is now having trouble with her anal glands. So we’ve decided to continue with one feed of the hypoallergenic, but replace a meal with Harrington’s lamb and rice food to see if sorts the problem out.

Product good, service rubbish.
The product is excellent but the service provided by Zooplu is appalling. Go else where. Order placed on the 26/11/2018 and still not here on 01/12/2018.

This product has changed our lives!
We have a 9 month old lab puppy. Every since we got him, we have visited the vets every month for sickness and loose stools. There were other problems too: needing the toilet in the night, hyper behaviour, fidgeting etc. Generally a not very comfortable puppy. We tried different food and we were finally advised to carry out our own food trail. Solely using this Royal Canine food. It has changed him! He has normal stools, no more sickness, he sleeps through the night and is calmer.

Excellent food
My 8 year old dog has sadly climbed over the rainbow, he was on this food for 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed it, as a treat stick the kibble weighed food into a ball that they can nibble on or pop one kibble to each ice cube hole fill with water freeze and give to them now and again through the hot days, a sure way to keep you dog hydrated whilst being feed

Wouldn't recommend anything else.
My two dogs love it. One of my dogs has allergies & bowel disease. I have tried him on different food, but this is the only food that works wonders for him. My other dog is fine to eat other foods, but tends to set off my dogs allergies so she eats the same as him, & everything is fine. I have recommended this food to a number of dog owners who have issues, most have changed over to this one, & they have been very happy with the results. The only issue I f8nd is, the cost, it's gone up!

Great dog food
My dog was diagnosed with sensitive tummy and the vet recommend to try this food before any other investigations.... It's been almost 2 years now and he is still living this food..

Does exactly what we needed it to
Our chocolate lab has a very sensitive stomach suspected to be an intolerance although we've not yet been able to identify to what. We'd tried almost every sensitive food on the market until we found this. The vet had recommended it to us but the price point had been unattainable - this is nearly half the price than everywhere else!
Since she's been eating this food she has been so much happier, has no trouble going to the toilet in the right places!

Poor Quality
I have been premium quality single protein to my sensitive large BRT. Since it was not available on stock , tried this food. Definitely it is not for my dog. He ears started soaring and she started scratching all time. I then tried on my other dog. Hairs around one of his eyes started loosing and started swelling. Not for sensitive dogs with sensitive skins.

Seems to be working so far....
This feed seems to be working so far for our dog. She always licking paws due to some kind of allergy. Vet suggested changing food and recommended this. Seems to be working so far!

Excellent!
We have labs - one has a very sensitive stomach, vet thinks IBS likely. Since changing to this food, we now have no issues and perfect health :-)

very happy
We have Dog de Bordeaux and he is allergic. I am very happy that I find out about this food. It is very good and my dog's skin condition improved a lot! I am buying this food for over a year and will not switch to anything else!!!

Super food
After being told to use this food by our vet,after our dog was diagnosed with IBD, I must admit I was sceptical about how good it could be after trying many other foods over serveral months to help my dog problem, but it works so well her symptoms ceased in a few days of being on the food and she has been on this food for two years with no further issues or trips to the vets would highly recommend this food to anyone and my dog loves it too which helps.

Demodex Mites
My 5yr old French Bulldog Lily suffers from Demodex mites to her face due to a low immune system. We have now got this under control but I think the food helps so much. Since we have had her on DR21 she is so much happier in herself. Having a low immune system it is so important that she gets all the nutrients she needs digested quickly into her system and her skin and coat is now in excellent condition. I know this is expensive but it is worth every penny This is the cheapest company I have found and by buying it in bulk it saves so much more money.

Excellent
Following my original review on this food last year, Jenkins is now 3yrs 4mths & still having the same food. I enquired with RC re the pro's and cons of continuing or changing,& recv'd very helpful advice. I also discussed it with our vet at Jenkins' recent annual health check. It is rather a minefield, but eventually I decided to stick with it on the basis of - if it works - why change it!
