ROYAL CANIN® Sensitivity Control Adult Dry Dog Food

As per the ingredients list, I am afraid we do not know what animal, the animal fat is made from I would suggest contacting Royal Canin directly;

Analytical constituents: Protein: 21.0% - Fat content: 9.0% - Crude ash: 8.0% - Crude fibres: 4.5%, essential fatty acid (Linoleic acid): 1.76% - EPA/DHA: 0.35% - Omega 3: 0.75%.

At 8 months old it is advised to still be using a puppy diet for your dog, this is an adult diet. If your vet has specifically recommended this diet for your dog then you should discuss with them what amount to feed. This is a veterinary diet so it's use should be alongside their advice anyway.

This food can be bought without a written prescription but it is from Royal Canin's veterinary range so it is advised you seek veterinary advice before starting it.

Hi Kairit,

Royal Canin have 12 manufacturing sites, with some in the US and most in Europe. The best thing to do would be to contact Royal Canin to ask for the manufacturing place of a specific food as I'm afraid the information is not available online.

Royal Canin have high manufacturing standards and state 'We manufacture every pet food we sell, in plants that we own; our plants are ISO 9001:2008 certified for Quality Management and ISO 22000 certified for Food Safety.' so whichever plant they manufacture in, you can be confident in receiving a product that meets all safety and quality requirements.

I hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Yes this is a good quality, complete diet and it would be fine for your puppy, especially if it has gastro-intestinal issues or suspected allergies. (It is very young to have genuine allergies, but the diet is good nonetheless.)

For pancreatitis I would recommend Royal Canin Gastro-intestinal Low Fat dog food or equally Hills i/d dog food (ideally the low fat version).

In my opinion, dogs usually have trouble like this because of the types of protein given, not the total amount. Being carnivores, dogs are in fact designed to consume large amounts of protein and it is often pointed out that the large amounts of cereal they tend to be given amount to very unnatural diets and might well be responsible for problems themselves. However it is true that most dogs do in fact digest cereals well and unnatural or not, they seem to work OK for most dogs. The precise mechanism whereby sensitivities and intolerances develop are poorly understood and commercial pressure from the big manufacturers clouds the issues.

Senstivity control works partly by having different protein sources which are well digested and as long as your dog is well suited to these proteins, all should be well. (The dried form is based on tapioca and duck, the wet is chicken or duck and rice..) I would switch your dog onto any new diet gradually, by adding a little to the former diet, then over 7-10 days, gradually change the proportions until she has switched completely. Most dogs do fine this way.

Though this food is usually designed for dogs suffering from food intolerances and allergies, it would be fine to feed to a normal dog without these problems.
