Hills prescription diet canine z/d low allergen
Hills prescription diet canine z/d dog food is for the nutritional management of dogs with food allergy and intolerance. Food allergy and intolerance are potentially serious problems that can result in sensitive or irritated skin, coat and ear conditions or even digestive problems. Dogs that have food allergy or intolerance, also called adverse reactions to food, typically are having an abnormal response to the protein in the food.
Hills prescription diet canine z/d low allergen has been exclusively formulated by veterinarians with Hill’s Hydrolyzed Protein System*, a process that eliminates intact animal proteins and significantly reduces the possibility of an adverse reaction to food. Reactions usually occur as a result of beef, dairy products and wheat. Canine z/d Low Allergen eliminates these.
Indications:
- Food allergy or food intolerance (i.e Dietary sensitivity or Adverse reactions to food).
- Pruritic dermatitis and/or chronic otitis externa.
- Chronic gastroenteritis and/or colitis.
Not recommended for:
- Cats.
- Puppies.
- Pregnant or lactating bitches.
Additional information:
- Proteins with a molecular weight less than 10,000 daltons will escape detection by the immune system. The animal protein component (chicken) in Canine z/d Low Allergen is extensively hydrolysed to produce a maximum molecular weight of 3,000 Daltons. This is critical in avoiding dietary sensitisation or reaction.
- The other major ingredients are dried potato, potato starch and vegetable oil (purified to contain no protein).
- No other ingredient in the formula contains protein or has been documented as causing an allergic reaction in dogs.
- These features make Canine z/d Low Allergen ideal in helping to manage and eliminate such adverse reactions as nonseasonal pruritic dermatitis, chronic otitis externa, chronic gastroenteritis and chronic colitis (inflammatory bowel disease).
