My dog looks exactly like the one on the bag.

I have several Setters but my Irish has IBD. Thankfully my Vet recommended this product 7 years ago and I can say that her IBD has been under control for all this time. Our English Setter must has posed for the picture on the bag.

Very good choice for my Beagle!

My beagle has Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Acid Reflux. This food, in addition, to medication, helps to control these issues. My dog prefers the wet version but will also eat the dry.

Great Features and my Dog Loves it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started my dog on this due to allergies after trying several different brands and allergy shots. The vet recommended we try this and it worked!! Amazing!! My dog loves it and he hasn’t had to have allergy shots!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both of our dogs love this food. Our vet recommended one of our dogs be given this food due to health issues. Now both are on it, just because it's easier. Although it's more expensive than other dog food, I believe it is worth it. Originally we purchased through our vet, but now we use Chewy.com which is cheaper.

Great Food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog is now 10 years old and was diagnosed with a food allergy - to beef. This was when he was placed on a selected protein diet and his symptoms improved. The first item we added back was a beef rawhide bone and he broke out again. He has been eating duck protein for the most part. We have now added chicken and turkey along with the duck and he has been doing great on it.

Mind boggling improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I started Sammy on the selected protein kibble, he is so much healthier! Before, when he was fed allergy triggers, his flatulence was epic. The smell threatened to peel the paint off the walls. I used so much sir freshener, I'm sure it wasn't good for me either. The vomiting multiple times daily. The diarrhea. All of that is either completely resolved or much improved. Living with my dog is much more pleasant for both of us.

My picky dog loves this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After so much trial and error, my picky dog has finally found a food she loves, and it is such a relief. I also have the confidence that she's getting the proper nutrition with the Royal Canin stamp of approval. I trust this brand, and my sweet girl loves it!
