Product details

Food allergies and intolerances can seriously affect your dog’s wellbeing and quality of life, bringing with them a host of other problems like digestive and skin issues. VETERINARY HPM® Hypoallergy Dog A2 is a hypoallergenic dog food clinically formulated to help manage food intolerances and provide long-term relief from food allergy symptoms such as skin and digestive problems.

Formulated with hydrolysed fish protein
Breaking the protein down into tiny parts (‘hydrolysing’) means it’s less likely to be recognised as a threat by the immune system.

Provides adequate protein for long-term feeding
VETERINARY HPM® A2 Hypoallergy contains up to 30% more protein than the average food allergy diet. The quantity and high quality of the protein (24% protein of which 100% of animal origin) make it an ideal food for long-term feeding.

Management of skin and coat disorders
Most of the time, food allergies result in skin and coat disorders. Omega-3, omega-6 and sulphur amino acids promote a shiny coat and strengthen the natural skin barrier, helping to manage skin symptoms like itchiness and redness.

Management of gastrointestinal disorders
Allergies and digestive problems in dogs often go hand-in-hand. VETERINARY HPM® Hypoallergy Dog A2 contains a specially selected blend of postbiotics and prebiotics to help nurture the gut flora and support good digestive function.

A delicious taste dogs love
Unlike many hydrolysed products, VETERINARY HPM® Hypoallergy Dog A2 is highly appealling to dogs thanks to the tasty animal proteins, rich fats and appropriate level of protein hydrolysis.

VETERINARY HPM® Hypoallergy Dog A2 is a complete and balanced food suitable for reducing food intolerances in adult and senior dogs.So while your dog enjoys the rich, delicious taste, you can be confident all of their nutritional needs are being met. It can be used for both the diagnosis and long term management of food allergies.

Not suitable for puppies, pregnant or nursing dogs, or dogs with chronic kidney disease.

Benefits

Single-source protein and carb content helps to diagnose intolerances and allergies with elimination trials.

Highly digestible, functional ingredients help to manage stomach disorders and allergy-related digestive symptoms.

Omega-3, omega-6 and sulphur amino acids support skin and coat health and relieve itching and redness.
