Ingredient Review
Our review of Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Adult Selected Protein PV Dry Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Potato. Potatoes are versatile starchy root vegetables that provide carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and some fiber. In pet food, potatoes can add texture and flavor while replacing other starches. Many grain-free and gluten-free pet foods contain potatoes.
The second ingredient is Venison Meal. Venison meal is cooked, dried, finely ground meat from an elk, deer, or antelope. In pet food, venison meal can be an excellent source of protein, iron, vitamin B12, and many other essential nutrients to support your companion’s well-being. Venison meal can be a novel protein in diets for pets with sensitivities, too.
The third ingredient is Potato Protein. Potato protein is an isolated protein that comes from potatoes. In pet food, potato protein is used as a low cost protein source as well as an emulsifier and texture-enhancing agent.
The fourth ingredient is Coconut Oil. Coconut oil is oil extracted from mature coconut flesh. In pet food, coconut oil can be a source of healthy fat and essential fatty acids. It also has natural antioxidant properties.
The fifth 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.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Adult Selected Protein PV Dry Dog Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from plant 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.
