I don’t see this particular formula rated by Dog Food Advisor. My puppy was put on it 2 years ago after severe bowel issues. 2 years later she is healthy and energetic and doing so well on it! We are getting another puppy and to make life easier, was thinking of putting the puppy on this food as well. They are large breed dogs – Bouvier des Flandres. Would appreciate any other information, good or bad, on the Royal Canin HP formula.

Hi Lisa,

Royal Canin Veterinary HP is not rated due to its intentional therapeutic design.

That’s because to treat certain health conditions (like gastrointestinal disease), some veterinary products have been intentionally designed to reduce the meat content of specific recipes.

Since we tend to favor dog foods rich in meat, it would be inappropriate for us to assign a star rating to such meat-restricted prescription food products.

Because your dog has apparently been diagnosed with a specific health issue, it would be better for your dog if you discussed your pet’s specific dog food needs with your vet.

Hope this helps.
