Why is hydrolyzed dog food so expensive?
Answer

Hydrolyzed dog food tends to be more expensive due to the specialized production process and the unique nature of its ingredients. According to A-Z Animals, the hydrolysis process involves breaking down proteins into smaller, easily digestible fragments, which can be crucial for dogs with allergies. This meticulous procedure requires advanced technology and expertise, contributing significantly to the overall production costs. Additionally, hydrolyzed dog food often incorporates high-quality, hypoallergenic protein sources, such as hydrolyzed animal proteins or novel protein options. These can be more costly than conventional ingredients. Moreover, the formulation of hydrolyzed dog food often involves careful consideration of nutrient balance to ensure that it meets specific dietary needs. The research and development required to create a nutritionally complete and balanced hydrolyzed formula further add to the expenses. Additionally, manufacturers may conduct extensive testing to ensure the effectiveness of the hydrolyzed proteins in preventing allergic reactions. All these factors, combined with the demand for specialized products in the pet food market, contribute to the elevated cost of hydrolyzed dog food.

What are the side effects of hydrolyzed protein?
Answer

Hydrolyzed protein generally undergoes a process where proteins are broken down into smaller fragments, making it less likely to trigger allergic reactions. While this is beneficial for dogs with food sensitivities, some potential side effects may arise. Firstly, the hydrolysis process can alter the taste and palatability of the protein, leading to a less appetizing flavor for some dogs. As a result, finicky eaters may be less enthusiastic about consuming hydrolyzed protein-based diets. Additionally, although the hydrolysis process reduces the allergenic potential of proteins, it does not eliminate it entirely. Some dogs may still exhibit adverse reactions to certain hydrolyzed proteins. Dr. Jennifer Coates, a DVM from Colorado highlights that the source of hydrolyzed protein matters. According to petMD, if a dog is allergic to the original protein source, there is a possibility of a reaction to its hydrolyzed form. Lastly, the quality of hydrolyzed protein and the overall formulation of the dog food can impact its nutritional value. In some cases, hydrolyzed diets may require supplementation to ensure that dogs receive all essential nutrients.

Who owns Royal Canin?

Is Royal Canin high-quality food?
Answer

Royal Canin is a well-established pet food brand that offers a range of products tailored to meet the specific nutritional needs of pets. According to Dr. Maria Baker, a veterinary surgeon and radiologist, the brand is known for its extensive research to develop formulas that address the requirements of pets. Many veterinarians recommend Royal Canin due to its focus on scientific research, quality ingredients, and commitment to providing balanced and complete nutrition. The brand emphasizes breed-specific and life stage-specific formulas, taking into account factors such as age, size, and health conditions. However, opinions on pet food quality can vary, and some pet owners may prefer alternative brands that emphasize different nutritional philosophies. It's important for pet owners to consider their pets' individual needs, consult with veterinarians, and pay attention to ingredient lists to make informed choices. Royal Canin is generally considered a high-quality pet food brand, praised for its research-based approach and tailored formulas. Nevertheless, individual preferences and the specific needs of pets should guide the choice of pet food.

Is Royal Canin easy to digest?
Answer

Royal Canin, a popular brand of pet food, is generally well-regarded for its commitment to providing nutrition tailored to the specific conditions of pets. While individual pets may vary in their response to specific formulas, Royal Canin often formulates its products with an emphasis on digestibility. The brand employs extensive research and veterinary expertise to create recipes that are easily digestible for pets with sensitive stomachs or digestive issues. Ingredients such as high-quality proteins, easily digestible carbohydrates, and a balance of essential nutrients contribute to the digestive health of animals consuming Royal Canin. Additionally, some Royal Canin formulations are specifically designed for pets with digestive sensitivities. They feature ingredients that support optimal nutrient absorption and promote a healthy gastrointestinal tract. However, it's essential to note that the effectiveness of any pet food can vary depending on the individual pet's needs and health condition. Consulting with a veterinarian is advisable to determine the most suitable diet for a specific animal.

Transition Instructions

We recommend at least a 7-day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet's digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
