Full details
This guide provides essential information for dog owners using Royal Canin Sensitivity Control, a specialized diet for dogs with food sensitivities and allergies. It's designed to help manage adverse food reactions by providing a limited ingredient diet. A key benefit is the use of novel protein sources like duck and tapioca, which reduce the likelihood of triggering an allergic response. However, it's crucial to consult with your veterinarian before use, as this is a prescription diet.
