Food sensitivities and intolerance are potentially serious problems that can result in irritated skin, coat and ear conditions or even gastrointestinal upset. Dogs that have adverse food reactions due to a food intolerance (typically to a protein in the food) or intolerance benefit from a food designed for food sensitivities. Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet® z/d clinical nutrition especially formulated to support your dog's food sensitivities. In fact, z/d is clinically proven nutrition to reduce skin & digestive signs from food intolerances.
This canned food has a ground texture with an irresistible taste that makes it easy for your dog to love.
How It Works (after upgrade, with ActivBiome+ Blend):
- Therapeutic nutrition with hydrolyzed proteins to help reduce skin irritation, scratching and digestive issues caused by adverse food reactions.
- ActivBiome+ Prebiotic Blend rapidly activates the gut microbiome to support digestive health
- Improves stool quality & promotes a healthy gut microbiome
- Rich in Omega--6 & 3 fatty acids to promote skin health and regeneration
- Continued feeding reduces the risk of adverse food reactions & promotes healthy skin and digestion
- All upgraded formalus retained the S+OX Shield
Key Highlights / Changes:
- ActivBiome+ prebiotics blend complements the cellulose in z/d recipes
- The color of both dry & canned food has darkened slightly due to the natural coloring of the ActivBiome+ ingredients
- No other aesthetic change
