  • REVIEW SUMMARY: If you have a dog with severe allergies, you may want to learn more about Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein. In this video, I'll talk about how this prescription dog food worked when everything else made my dog sick with vomiting and diarrhea. My dog likes the taste of Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein and hasn't gotten sick in the 2 1/2 years she's been eating it. I created this video because I couldn't find many reviews about this food when I decided to try it for my dog. If you have an experience with Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein, please add your review in the comments section! This is NOT a sponsored video.

    Thank you for your review. My dog was very sick for several months. In addition to her meds treatment, surgerys, etc., I changed her food to Hill's Z/D (hydrolyzed protein) and she got better with that combo.
    After a whole year of vomits, contipations and diarrheas and worst things she finally got better and she has normal poops.
    Now I am looking for alternatives because they are no longer selling this food in my country, my vet recommended this one and now I'm looking for reviews because as you said there are not many reviews.
    I agree it is expensive (as hell) but it is worth it for my dog. Also, Hill's is more expensive, so if this Royal Canin works will be so much better. In Mexico the biggest package (11kg) is 100 dollars and Hill's the biggest (8kg) is 85 dollars. And I have a german shepard, so I'm desesperate for something more affordable.

    Some very helpful advice - thank you. We bought a Bassett Hound twelve months ago, He's had nothing but dietary problems. Sickness, diarrhoea and going off his food. He was hospitalised for four days after he collapsed. I've just returned from the vet today following an abdominal scan, which was thankfully clear. The vet has prescribed something very similar made by 'Hills'. I checked out other brands and saw the that RC produce an almost identical version. The price is equally expensive, so I will stick with the 'Hills' version for now. I'll keep you posted on how he gets on. We are all praying this is the last time he has to see a vet as he's only 15 months old, poor thing! Kind regards from the UK.

      Good luck with everything. We were on Hills for a bit, but she had an issue. It wasn't hydrolyzed protein -- it was some unusual protein though.

    My dog also was suffering from severe diarrhea and vomiting. She was on Apoquel for a long time for her skin allergies. I also have tried many different dog foods that didn't help. I did take her off Apoquel and she improved. Tested it again by putting her on Apoquel and symptoms came back. Took her to the emergency Vet internist and they did an ultrasound and blood test. Everything was good on the ultrasound, but her liver count was very high...something Apoquel can cause...but the vet put her on Royal Canin Hydrolyzed protein and she has been doing well physically. She does drink a lot of water with this food and now she doesn't want to eat the dry food but will eat the canned food. The dry food is much higher in protein which would be better for her. Its good to know that this food works! So I will be tough with her! Oh by the way, she lost 4 lbs being sick and she has so much more energy now that she is on this food. The vet wants her on this for 1 month and re-evaluate her liver count then. My dachshund is 14 years old and is healthy otherwise according to the results of the ultrasound and blood test (besides the liver count which we stopped the Apoquel) And yes...small fortune spent on my dog for all the visits! My dog is a rescue and adopted her when she was 6 year old. SHe also had lots of problems that some of them were solved, just the tummy and digestion issues until we started the Royal Canin. I am happy to see that they have a small dog size. That may be why she doesn't want the dry food...she is missing some teeth and the food pieces are large for her. Thank you for making this video! It has been very helpful.

    So I have had my dog on this food for about 5 years now. Same as you tried every other food including fresh food. With the fresh food he would throw up even trying a small transition to fresh food. With all the other dog foods he would end up with acid reflex and throw up white acid liquid every time. The vet visits results was he was allergic to the ingredients found in other foods. One thing my dog has developed though is lumps under his skin. Started with a large lump and now has many. They are all benign but still I often wonder if its because of this food. His stomach is still to sensitive for those other foods I have tried but soon as I return him on this food life is good. The lumps have all started this last year he is 8 now. Mini Schnauzer so they do develop skin disorders and lumps for that breed.

    Hi Michael. The vet recommended this food for my dogs. I'm wondering though, in your situation, did you ever tried giving your dog fresh food, either home made or bought from companies that use fresh human-grade ingredients, did that not work either? I think that our pets are getting sick from all the synthetics and preservatives that are in these highly processed pet foods. I appreciate your time.

    • @MichaelSaves

    My yellow (white) Lab had diarrhea issues ever since a pup and we tried many things but this stuff works and i call it the Miracle Dog food for it fixed him. Every couple weeks this would reoccur with him which was a stress until the vet put him on this. Highly (recommended) $137 for a 25.3 lb bag is worth the price to me for his and our comfort. All my other dogs are fine and never had this issue before till this guy came along. The Vets daughter who works up front said it's from all the sh?? they put in dog food. We use purina Pro Plan for our Cats/dogs.

    Hydrolysed protein saved my dogs life . My dog suffered from immune mediated poly arthritis and was on steroids for over a year with relapses . . The veterinary dietician switched him to purina pro plan hypoallergenic ha kibble and tinned wet mousse and stopped the steroids straight away . He has been fine ever since . We have added boiled kale , carrots and broccoli and his treats are hills hypoallergenic which are also good for him . It is brilliant . I would suggest see a good dietician who will help by treating the gut . Thank you and good luck to everyone

    My now 83.3lbs 9 year old goldenddodle had his front paw amputated on May 28th about a week ago do to bone cancer (osteosarcoma) I switched his diet from kibble to Dr harveys paradigm food. How ever is costing me about $250 a month. I acording g to my math I have to buy about 25lbs of fresh meat (chicken,beef,turkey etc) to ad to Dr harveys food. This prescription kibble dog foods will be way cheaper but many people told me to stop giving kibble since it feeds cancer:(

      I'm not sure about the cancer connection. I gave it to my dog because her quality of life was very poor. She died in March, but she was on this food until the last week of her life (when she stopped eating.) Thinking of you and your dog.

      I’ve also seen on a lot of websites how they mention the “unhealthy” stuff in Royal Canin but honestly I’ve seen so many great reviews from real world people who’s been feeding their dogs all their life.
      Every miniature schnauzer I have has ate nothing but Royal Canin and they have the most healthiest looking skin and and health in general! So I would take those websites saying “this is bad” with a big grain of salt.
