Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Adult Hydrolyzed Protein Small Dog Dry Dog Food
Whether a veterinarian has determined through an elimination diet trial that your dog has food sensitivities or that they require long-term support for their skin and GI issues, your vet recommended Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein Small Dog Dry Food for a reason. This highly palatable diet is designed for small breed or toy breed adult dogs. It’s formulated with hydrolyzed soy proteins, composed of low molecular weight peptides, so they can be absorbed in the digestive tract with a reduced risk of triggering an immune reaction. Optimal amounts of B vitamins and amino acids reinforce your dog’s skin barrier. And Relative Supersaturation (RSS) methodology helps reduce the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate crystal and stone formation in the bladder. Plus, the specially designed dog kibble is made for miniature mouths—encouraging your small breed dog to chew thoroughly for tartar control. Ask your vet about adding Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein Treats to your dog's diet for his enjoyment.
