Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Selected Protein PW Moderate Calorie (Adult, Dry) is a dry kibble in Royal Canin's veterinary exclusive lineup, sold as 7.7 and 24.2 lb bags. Royal Canin describes the recipe 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 potato, fish meal, powdered cellulose, coconut oil, and potato protein. At 257 kilocalories per cup it is lower in calorie density than the base Selected Protein PW recipe's 313, with a crude fiber guarantee of up to 9.8 percent against PW's 5.0 percent maximum. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
