Facts worth knowing before comparing

z/d Hydrolyzed Chicken Flavor Dog Food | Hill's Prescription Diet
Hill’s z/d Hydrolyzed Chicken starts with corn starch, hydrolyzed chicken liver, and hydrolyzed chicken, with moderate protein and high omega-3. I would use it for veterinarian-guided hydrolyzed-protein feeding, not for meat-density goals.
Canine Hydrolyzed Protein HP
Royal Canin Hypoallergenic is built around rice and hydrolyzed soy protein. Its animal fat and hydrolyzed animal protein are identified as chicken, duck, pork, and turkey derivatives. This is a prescription diet for a veterinarian-guided allergy food trial, not a meat-rich allergy food. At 21% protein, 19% fat, and 4,070 kcal/kg, it should not be treated as a low-fat sensitive-stomach or weight-control formula.
