Ingredient Review
Our review of Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Adult Hydrolyzed Protein Loaf Canned Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Water Sufficient. In pet food, the term water sufficient typically refers to the amount of water that is needed to process the rest of the ingredients.
The second ingredient is Pea Starch. Pea starch is a gluten-free starch that comes from ground peas. The pea starch in pet food is a source of carbohydrates, and is typically used as a thickener, filler, or gelling agent.
The third ingredient is Hydrolyzed Chicken Liver. Hydrolyzed chicken liver is liver from chickens that has been processed to isolate its amino acids. When added to pet food, hydrolyzed chicken liver can make it easier for your companion to digest and absorb the protein, amino acids, and other nutrients it contains. Because hydrolyzed proteins are considered to be hypoallergenic, this ingredient may be found in foods for pets with allergies.
The fourth ingredient is Hydrolyzed Soy Protein. Hydrolyzed soy protein is protein sourced from soybeans, with its amino acids isolated and pre-digested. When added to pet food, hydrolyzed soy protein can make it easier for your companion to digest and absorb the protein and amino acids.
The fifth ingredient is Vegetable Oil. Vegetable oil is a general term for oil extracted from various vegetable or plant seeds, typically mixed together. In pet food, vegetable oil serves as an inexpensive fat source.

Nutritional Analysis
Your adult dog needs a balance of macro and micronutrients to thrive. A food formulated for adult maintenance or all life stages is made to meet these needs. While there can be a lot of variation in actual calorie density, adult dog foods are generally intended to provide for basic calorie needs of the average active dog. In addition to satisfying their energy needs, these foods provide the protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients your adult dog needs to survive. Again, not all adult foods are the same, so you may have to search around for the right fit for your dog.
