Product Description

Product Overview

Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Small Dog ��� 3.5kg is a complete veterinary dry diet specially formulated for small and toy breed adult dogs, particularly dogs weighing under 10kg, with food sensitivities or suspected adverse reactions to food.

The formula uses hydrolysed soya protein isolate, made up of low molecular weight peptides to improve digestibility and reduce the likelihood of triggering an adverse immune response. Rice and rice flour provide selected carbohydrate sources.

The diet also contains nutrients designed to support the skin barrier, while its formulation addresses the particular digestive, dental and urinary considerations of small dogs. The adapted kibble size, shape and texture are designed for smaller jaws.

This is a veterinary diet and should be used on the recommendation of a veterinarian.
