Ingredient Review

Our review of Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Adult Renal Support D Thin Slices in Gravy 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 Chicken Liver. Chicken liver is one of a few organ meats that come from a chicken. In pet food, chicken liver serves as a source of protein, iron, and amino acids.

The third ingredient is Chicken By-Products. The chicken by-products in pet food are defined as dry, ground, parts of the chicken carcass that have been rendered clean. Most pet food companies use chicken by-products such as liver, kidney, heart, and gizzard, which are sources of protein and other nutrients. Some do include chicken by-products like feathers, bones, and beaks, all ground up and unidentifiable.

The fourth ingredient is Corn Flour. Corn flour is made with dried or roasted kernels from any corn species. In pet food, corn flour can be a filler as well as source of inexpensive protein, carbohydrates, and fiber.

The fifth ingredient is Pork Liver. Pork liver is organ meat from swine. The pork liver in pet food is a source of protein, iron, and many other nutrients.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Adult Renal Support D Thin Slices in Gravy Canned Dog Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

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.
