Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie Adult Dry Dog Food

Royal Canin Canine Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie HME 23 uses specially selected proteins and carbohydrates to help reduce the effects of your dog’s food intolerances.

How it works

The proteins in this food are hydrolysed, which means they are already broken down into their smallest component parts. This makes them very easy for your dog to digest, and also helps to prevent allergic reactions common in larger compounds. The food also contains a high amount of fatty acids. These help to transport proteins around your dog’s body more effectively.

Calorie content is also carefully balanced. This helps to keep your dog’s weight at the ideal level, ensuring they can enjoy an active lifestyle.

Additionally, phosphorous is included only at moderate levels to promote and support healthy kidney function while avoiding kidney problems caused by high phosphorous diets. This food is also rich in nutrients to strengthen and support your dog’s skin, and the natural barrier effect it forms.

Key benefits

• hydrolysed proteins are easy to digest, and reduce the chance of inflammation or allergic reactions
• high component of fatty acids effectively transports proteins around your dog’s body
• balanced calorie content helps maintain ideal weight
• phosphorous supports healthy kidney function
• patented complex that supports the skin’s natural barrier effect.

When to use it

Food intolerances and allergies can make your dog’s life miserable, but once identified, can often be controlled. Allergies can occur when your dog’s digestive system absorbs proteins that haven’t been broken down first. This triggers a response from your dog’s immune system, which causes the allergic symptoms. These symptoms can include increased itching, scratching, and swollen, red patches of skin.

An intolerance, on the other hand, simply means that your dog’s system cannot process certain food types. Symptoms will normally include vomiting or diarrhoea, normally quite soon after eating. The most common food types that cause intolerance and allergies in dogs are beef, wheat, and dairy.

Royal Canin Canine Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie HME 23 uses soya proteins that are already broken down, which is why it can be effective if your dog is suffering from an allergy or intolerance. That said, the above symptoms can also be indicative of a wide range of health issues, so always speak to your vet.

Because veterinary diets are formulated for the nutritional support of pets with specific clinical conditions, we recommend that you only use them under professional advice.
