Allergies are common in dogs, and they crop up when your dog’s immune system reacts to an otherwise harmless substance in its environment. The digestive tract and skin are two of your pet’s most sensitive organs and they come into contact with many different substances. Your dog can develop allergies or intolerances to foodstuffs of vegetable or animal origin. Typical symptoms are itching and inflammation of the skin, as well as sickness and diarrhoea. Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie is a dietetic complete dry dog food for overweight, older or neutered dogs with allergies. The recipe includes hydrolysed proteins with a low allergic potential to make the food easy to digest. The kibble also has a moderate energy content, to help to discourage excess weight gain. A special combination of biotin, niacin and pantothenic acid also helps to improve the skin’s barrier effect. Recommended for (indications): Bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine Dysbacteria Elimination diet Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) Food allergy Food intolerance Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO / dysbiosis) Not recommended for (contraindications): Lactating bitches, pregnant bitches or puppies Key benefits: Hydrolysed proteins: soy protein hydrolyzate comprises peptides of low molecular weight.

Common questions

Can I buy a veterinary diet without seeing a vet?

Many shops sell veterinary diets without a prescription because they are foods, not medicines. However, they are formulated for specific medical conditions, and the labels recommend a vet’s opinion before use. Feeding the wrong one can cause problems, so use them under veterinary guidance.

Does my dog need supplements if it eats a complete food?

Usually not for vitamins and minerals, since a complete food is formulated to supply them. Some owners add targeted supplements such as fish oil or joint products for older dogs. Ask your vet whether one makes sense for your dog.
