TROVET Hypoallergenic HPD (Horse) Dog - Tin
Food hypersensitivity
Food hypersensitivity means that your dog has a specific allergic or excessive reaction to certain ingredients in its diet. This can be treated with special diet food which does not contain the ingredients that are known to cause adverse effects in your dog. In order to establish what your dog is sensitive to, an elimination diet must be followed. TROVET has six different elimination diets, which can all be followed up by a hypoallergenic food containing the same protein source. If you choose to use TROVET Unique Protein and it eliminates your dog's food allergies, you can continue to use this food indefinitely. In addition to the food, you can also choose responsible snacks in Trovet Hypoallergenic Treats.
Elimination diet
The purpose of an elimination diet is to stop the dog's symptoms of intolerance. This can be done in several ways:
A diet without animal protein (normally intolerance stems from these) such as TROVET Exclusion/NVD. This replaces animal proteins with vegetable proteins.Hypoallergenic diet
TROVET Hypoallergenic HPD (Horse) Dog is hypoallergenic because it contains horse meat and potato, a combination which is known to seldom cause allergic reactions in dogs. By switching to a hypoallergenic diet food like Trovet HPD, reactions such as scratching, rubbing and biting are slowly reduced. In addition, TROVET HPD contains all the essential nutrients for your dog in optimal amounts. It is important to understand that some complaints, such as skin conditions, will only improve slowly. If symptoms decrease or disappear entirely, a food allergy can be successfully diagnosed.
