Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Hydrolyzed Protein Small Dog (Adult, Dry) is a dry kibble in Royal Canin's veterinary exclusive lineup, sold as an 8.8 lb bag. Royal Canin describes it on the product page as "Complete and balanced food for adult dogs." Royal Canin states that this veterinary formula "is available at select retailers and veterinary clinics" and that a buyer should "find a trusted partner to purchase it if you have a prescription." Ingredients on a pet food label are ordered by pre cooking weight, so the first five on this label are brewers rice, hydrolyzed soy protein, chicken fat, natural flavors, and vegetable oil. It carries 375 kilocalories per cup, the highest calorie density in the Hydrolyzed Protein line, and is packaged in a single 8.8 pound bag sized for smaller dogs. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
