ROYAL CANIN HYPO MODCAL DOG DRY FOOD [7 KG]

What Is Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie Dog Dry Food 7kg?

Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie Dog Dry Food 7kg is a complete veterinary diet for adult dogs with ingredient or nutrient intolerances that also need help maintaining an ideal body weight.

It uses low-molecular-weight hydrolysed proteins, which are proteins broken into smaller pieces to reduce the chance of an adverse food reaction. Its moderate calorie and fat content supports weight control, while moderate phosphorus and targeted nutrients support kidney function and the skin’s natural protective barrier.

Who Is This For?

Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie may be recommended when:

• Your adult dog has a suspected or diagnosed ingredient intolerance.
• Your dog develops recurring skin or digestive signs that your veterinarian believes may be food-related.
• Your dog requires a controlled elimination diet using hydrolysed protein.
• Your dog gains weight easily while eating a regular hypoallergenic formula.
• Your dog is sterilised, less active or needs controlled calories while managing food intolerance.
• Your veterinarian wants a hypoallergenic diet with moderate fat and calorie levels.
• Your dog needs nutritional support for its skin barrier alongside a controlled diet.
• Your veterinarian recommends moderate phosphorus intake as part of your dog’s complete nutritional plan.

Do not select this food based only on itching, vomiting, ear problems or loose stools. Parasites, infections, environmental allergies and other medical conditions can cause similar signs.

This formula is intended for adult dogs and should only be used after a veterinarian confirms that it matches your dog’s nutritional and medical needs.

Composition — What’s In It?

• Rice — the selected carbohydrate source. It provides digestible energy while limiting the number of carbohydrate ingredients included in the diet.
• Hydrolysed soya protein isolate — the main protein source. Hydrolysis breaks protein into low-molecular-weight pieces that are less likely to be recognised by the immune system as allergens.
• Hydrolysed poultry liver — provides digestible protein and flavour while remaining broken into smaller protein fragments.
• Animal fats — provide energy and help make the kibble appetising. The total fat level is controlled to support dogs prone to excess weight.
• Beet pulp — provides dietary fibre that supports intestinal movement and normal stool formation.
• Soya oil — supplies essential fatty acids that support healthy skin and coat condition.
• Fish oil — provides omega-3 fatty acids that support normal skin and digestive health.
• Fructo-oligosaccharides — prebiotics, which are nutrients that feed beneficial bacteria in the digestive system.
• Borage oil — provides gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that supports the skin’s natural protective barrier.
• Marigold extract — provides lutein, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from free-radical damage.
• Moderate phosphorus — provides controlled phosphorus intake to help support healthy kidney function.
• Vitamins and trace minerals — include vitamins A and D3, iron, iodine, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium to support essential body functions.

The selected protein sources are hydrolysed soya protein isolate and hydrolysed poultry liver. Rice is the selected carbohydrate source.

Analytical Constituents

• Protein: 23%
• Fat content: 12%
• Crude ash: 6.7%
• Crude fibre: 1.1%
• Linoleic acid: 31g per kg
• Phosphorus: 6g per kg

This formula has substantially less fat than Royal Canin’s regular Hypoallergenic Dog Dry Food, which contains 19% fat. The moderate-calorie version contains 12% fat and is therefore more appropriate when food intolerance occurs alongside a tendency to gain excess weight.

How to Use It

Feed Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie only under the guidance of a qualified veterinarian.

During a controlled elimination diet, feed this food exclusively. Do not give regular treats, table scraps, milk, dental chews, flavoured medicines, supplements or another pet food unless your veterinarian approves them.

Even a small amount of another protein may interfere with the diet trial and make the results difficult to interpret.

Measure your dog’s complete daily quantity instead of continuously refilling the bowl. Divide it into two or more meals and keep clean drinking water available throughout the day.

Use your dog’s target healthy weight, not its current overweight body weight, when selecting a quantity from the feeding table.

Royal Canin recommends feeding this diet for an initial period of 3–8 weeks. If the signs of intolerance disappear, your veterinarian may recommend continuing the diet indefinitely.

Transitioning to a New Food

Follow your veterinarian’s transition instructions. Unless your vet recommends another plan:

Days 1–2: 75% current food + 25% Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie

Days 3–4: 50% current food + 50% Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie

Days 5–6: 25% current food + 75% Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie

Day 7 onwards: 100% Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie

A gradual transition may help prevent digestive upset. However, your veterinarian may recommend a different transition speed when starting a controlled elimination trial.

Feeding Guide

The quantities below are Royal Canin’s approximate daily recommendations. Use your dog’s target healthy weight when choosing the portion.

These quantities are starting points. Your veterinarian may adjust the serving according to your dog’s target weight, activity, sterilisation status, body condition and response to the diet.

Follow the quantities recommended by your veterinarian for dogs eating a veterinary diet.

Common Questions

Is Royal Canin Hypo Modcal the same as regular Royal Canin Hypoallergenic?

No. Both formulas use hydrolysed protein for dogs with ingredient or nutrient intolerances, but the Moderate Calorie formula has lower fat and calories.

Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie contains 12% fat, while the regular Hypoallergenic formula contains 19% fat. Your veterinarian can decide which version best suits your dog.

What does “Modcal” mean?

“Modcal” is a shortened listing name for “Moderate Calorie.”

The formula is designed for dogs that require hypoallergenic nutrition but also gain weight easily or need help maintaining an ideal body condition.

Is this food suitable for an overweight dog with food allergies?

It may be suitable when a veterinarian has diagnosed or suspects ingredient intolerance and also wants controlled calorie intake.

It is not automatically appropriate for every overweight dog. Dogs requiring significant weight loss may need a dedicated veterinary weight-management diet.

Why does this food use hydrolysed soya protein?

Hydrolysed protein is broken into smaller molecular pieces.

These smaller protein fragments are less likely to be recognised by the immune system as allergens, which makes them useful in veterinary diets designed for adverse food reactions.

Can I give my dog treats while feeding this food?

Avoid regular treats during an elimination trial unless your veterinarian approves them.

Treats, table scraps, dental chews and flavoured medicines may introduce another protein and interfere with the trial.

How long should my dog eat Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie?

Royal Canin recommends feeding it initially for 3–8 weeks.

If the signs of intolerance disappear, your veterinarian may recommend using the diet indefinitely.

Does this food treat skin allergies?

No. It is formulated to reduce ingredient and nutrient intolerances and support the skin barrier.

It does not diagnose or treat flea allergy, environmental allergy, bacterial infection, yeast infection or another skin disease.

Is this a kidney diet because it contains moderate phosphorus?

No. It is primarily a hypoallergenic, moderate-calorie veterinary diet.

The moderate phosphorus level supports healthy kidney function, but dogs with diagnosed kidney disease may require a specialised renal diet selected by their veterinarian.

Can puppies eat Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Moderate Calorie?

The official formula is described as complete dietetic food for adult dogs.

Do not feed it to a growing puppy unless a veterinarian specifically recommends it and confirms that it meets the puppy’s nutritional requirements.

What should I do if my dog refuses the food?

Speak to your veterinarian before adding meat, broth, gravy, cheese or another topper.

These additions may introduce extra protein, increase calories and interfere with the hypoallergenic diet.
