Your vet recommended Royal Canin Renal Support + Hydrolyzed Protein for a reason. This highly palatable dry dog food is specially formulated to care for the kidney health of dogs under veterinary supervision. The aromatic dry kibble stimulates your dog’s appetite and encourages eating. Hydrolyzed proteins, composed of low-molecular-weight peptides, help minimize the risk of a reaction due to a food sensitivity while also helping support kidney health. And the energy-dense diet provides nutritional support in smaller portions, since dogs with reduced kidney function have decreased appetites. Plus, they contain a precise antioxidant complex, fatty acids from fish oil, low phosphorous, and targeted protein levels to help support kidney function.

This multifunction canine diet utilizes a restricted mineral and hydrolyzed protein strategy to support both kidney and allergy management. It is a veterinary-authorized diet frequently considered for dogs requiring renal support who also have significant food sensitivities.
This is a veterinary-authorized therapeutic diet formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional adequacy standards. It requires authorization from a licensed veterinarian and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
At a nutritional level, it manages the renal workload with low phosphorus while utilizing hydrolyzed proteins (broken down into tiny pieces) to manage the risk of an immune response. Commonly observed effects include weight stability and improved skin comfort. Because it addresses dual goals, your veterinarian will monitor for observational signs of recovery through regular blood work. Owners should avoid giving any other food sources.
Yes. This multifunction diet requires professional authorization from a licensed veterinarian. Mixlab verifies all legal and professional standards.
Veterinarians discuss this formula because it restricts phosphorus for kidney health while using proteins that the immune system is less likely to recognize as a trigger.
Hydrolyzing breaks protein down so small that it may be considered in the context of minimizing the immune system's recognition of dietary proteins, which may be relevant when managing the risk of an allergic flare-up.
Compromised kidneys struggle to filter phosphorus. Restricting dietary phosphorus may be considered in the context of managing the progression of renal challenges.
Your veterinarian will recommend periodic blood work and skin assessments. This monitoring ensures the nutritional approach remains suitable for your pet's needs.
