Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Selected Protein PW Large Dog (Adult, Dry) is a dry kibble in Royal Canin's veterinary exclusive lineup, sold as a 26.4 lb bag. Royal Canin describes the recipe on the product page as one where "The protein in the diet is provided by potato and fish which are appropriate for dogs with certain food sensitivities." 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 potato, fish meal, coconut oil, potato protein, and natural flavors. It carries added glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate not listed on the standard Selected Protein PW label, and is sold in a single 26.4 pound bag sized for larger 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.
