Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie Adult Dry Dog Food

Royal Canin Canine Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie HME 23 uses specially chosen proteins and carbohydrates to help ease the symptoms of your dog's food intolerances.

What it's for

Food intolerances and allergies are no walk in the park for your pup. Allergies can be caused by the digestive system accidentally absorbing food that hasn't been broken down properly. This sends your dog's immune system into high alert, causing symptoms like itchiness, inflammation and sore red skin.

An intolerance is different to an allergy; your dog's system just can't process certain types of food. Symptoms of intolerance are a bit more noticeable, with sickness and diarrhoea after eating. Beef, wheat and dairy are the most common causes of food intolerance in dogs.

Royal Canin Canine Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie HME 23 is great for poorly pooches with allergies and intolerances. It uses soya proteins that are already broken down instead of the usual animal proteins. Remember: scratching, inflamed skin, sickness and diarrhoea can be symptoms of other more serious health problems. It's important to always speak to your vet if your pup is poorly.

Key benefits

• easy-to-digest proteins make allergic reactions and inflammation less likely
• lots of fatty acids help to move proteins around your dog's body more effectively
• balanced calorie content keeps weight healthy 
• added phosphorus boosts the kidneys
• includes Royal Canin's patented complex, which protects the skin's natural barrier effect.

How it works

This food is made with proteins that have already been broken down into small parts. Your dog's digestive system has less work to do and there's less chance of an allergic reaction. The food is also high in fatty acids, which transport the protein around your dog's body to where it needs to go. It also contains small amounts of phosphorus. This level of the mineral is just right – it helps and supports kidney health without overloading your dog's system. Added nutrients help to strengthen your dog's skin and its natural barrier, making it more difficult for infections and irritation to take hold. The balanced calorie levels help them to maintain their ideal weight, avoiding future issues with obesity and joint health.
