Hypoallergenic dog food from Royal Canin is a low allergen dog food that aims to minimise nutrition based reactions. Your vet may recommend you to feed this if your dog suffers with a food allergy/intolerance, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, diarrhoea or other common skin or digestive issues caused by diet.
This food can also be used if you are conducting an elimination trial with your dog, whereby you slowly introduce foods to identify the problem. The following are benefits from the hypoallergenic food:
- Contains hydrolysed proteins - these are proteins that have already been broken down into smaller components. This makes them highly digestible and less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
- A patented complex of five different nutrients work to create a protective skin barrier.
- EPA/DHA are essential fatty acids help keep your dog's digestive system and skin in good condition.
- A combination of beet pulp and FOS fermentable fibres keep the digestive tract healthy.
This range of dog food is designed to help nutritionally manage select canine health issues.
