Why Choose Royal Canin Hypoallergenic?
1. Hydrolysed Proteins for Food Sensitivities
Some cats experience adverse reactions to particular dietary proteins.
Hydrolysis breaks proteins into smaller fragments, reducing their potential to trigger certain food-related immune reactions.
Royal Canin Hypoallergenic uses low-molecular-weight hydrolysed proteins to support the nutritional management of food sensitivities.
This makes it a potential option for cats requiring a veterinarian-recommended hypoallergenic diet.
2. Selected Protein Sources
The formula contains two identified protein sources:
- Hydrolysed soya protein isolate.
- Hydrolysed poultry liver.
These ingredients provide protein in hydrolysed form.
Your veterinarian should determine whether this protein profile is appropriate for your cat's medical history and dietary requirements.
3. Supports Digestive Health
Food sensitivities can sometimes affect digestive comfort and stool quality.
Royal Canin Hypoallergenic contains selected nutrients and dietary fibres intended to support a balanced digestive system.
Its composition includes vegetable fibres, beet pulp, and fructo-oligosaccharides.
These ingredients contribute to normal intestinal function.
4. Helps Maintain the Skin's Protective Barrier
Healthy skin provides a natural protective barrier.
Royal Canin Hypoallergenic contains nutrients designed to support the skin's normal barrier function.
This is particularly relevant for cats experiencing food-related skin sensitivities.
5. EPA & DHA for Skin and Digestive Support
EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids that contribute to healthy skin and normal digestive function.
Royal Canin Hypoallergenic contains fish oil as a source of these beneficial fatty acids.
According to the supplied nutritional information, the formula provides 3.2g of EPA/DHA per kg.
6. Essential Fatty Acids for Skin Health
Essential fatty acids play important roles in normal skin function.
The formula contains animal fats, soya oil, fish oil, and borage oil.
The supplied nutritional analysis lists 46.4g/kg of linoleic and arachidonic acids combined.
These nutrients contribute to the formula's skin-supporting nutritional profile.
7. Prebiotics for Intestinal Balance
Royal Canin Hypoallergenic contains fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS).
FOS are prebiotics that help support beneficial intestinal bacteria.
They contribute to maintaining a balanced digestive system.
8. Rice as the Carbohydrate Source
The supplied composition identifies rice as the formula's carbohydrate source.
Rice provides a clearly identified carbohydrate ingredient within the specialised recipe.
This formula is not grain-free.
9. Suitable for Veterinary Elimination Diet Plans
A veterinarian may recommend a hydrolysed protein diet when investigating suspected food allergies.
An elimination diet typically involves feeding only the prescribed food for a defined period.
Other foods, treats, or flavoured products may interfere with the assessment.
Follow your veterinarian's instructions throughout the process.
10. Practical 2.5kg Packaging
The 2.5kg bag provides a larger supply than the 400g option.
It is particularly convenient for cats already following a veterinarian-recommended hypoallergenic feeding plan.
Proper storage helps maintain freshness after opening.
