I love this food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog is 5 years old little terrier mix and for the longest time we could not figure out why he was chewing on his feet. Bentley was just tearing his feet apart. We tried everything from shampoo, medicine and different foods and NOTHING worked! We were getting so frustrated and he was also getting ear infections. The longest time we kept putting off a food trial like our Veterinarian recommended. Finally we decided there was nothing else but try a food trial and it cleared up not only his feet but his ears! This food has saved us so much money and it works so great! I would highly recommend this to anyone going through the same problems.

Lifetime User

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 11 year old female cocker spaniel has been on Select Protein Adult PD since she was 1 year old due to GI issues. The food is high quality and have had no problems. Has also kept her weight in check.

Works for our allergies

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this on advice from vet as our Amstaf has terrible allergies. He has been on it for a couple of years. My only complaint is that it is a bit fatty/greasy and we have had to manage weight gain

Best Food Ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my 8 year old Vizsla on the Veterinary Diet for about 6 months now which was recommended by my Veterinarian due to her allergies and she is doing great! She absolutely loves it and I don't have to add wet food like I used to with other dog food to get her to eat it. Not only does her skin look great, but so does her coat.

Perfect for the Shiba Inu

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased from my vet because Science diet changed their Hydrolised food. My son raised His Schnauzer on Royal Canine and loved the product.
