Dog Food > Wet Dog Food > Royal Canin Veterinary Diet

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Hydrolyzed Protein Adult HP Canned Dog Food is hot extruded (which means it's processed under extreme heat and pressure) and made with feed grade ingredients, which are unfit for human consumption. It contains 33 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 2 anti-nutrients including Pea Starch and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 other sketchy ingredients, including Sodium Carboxymethyl-Cellulose and Natural Flavors. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires clean-up.

Warning Due to this being a grain-free food that contains legumes or potatoes this Royal Canin Veterinary Diet recipe may be implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into diet-related Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
