  • This adult dry dog food promotes digestive health while nourishing skin
  • A source of prebiotic fiber to support a balanced gut microbiome in your grown dog

Although hypoallergenic dog diets are often prescribed by veterinarians, pet owners can also obtain them directly online.

Many are produced from proteins that have been chemically "divided" (hydrolyzed) into their basic amino acid building components... making the original allergen almost "invisible" to your pet's immune system.

As a result, your dog is less likely to have an allergic reaction to the food.
