DESCRIPTION
Dogs with recurrent gastrointestinal upset may have a food or fat sensitivity. Dogs that have a food allergy (typically to a protein in the food) or intolerance, may respond to a food designed for food sensitivities while dogs with a fat sensitivity require a low fat food but determining which nutrition to use is frequently a trial and error process.
With this in mind, Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet z/d Low Fat, which is clinical nutrition specially formulated for dogs with food and fat sensitivities.
How it helps:
- Nutrition to help manage food & fat sensitivities
- Formulated to help improve skin & coat
- Formulated to promote easy digestion & help normalize stool
- Helps support a healthy immune system
- S+OXSHIELD: Formulated to promote a urinary environment that reduces the risk of developing struvite & calcium oxalate crystals
How it works:
- Highly digestible, hydrolyzed soy protein & low in fat
- Rich in omega-6, and 3 fatty acids from fish oil
- Unique prebiotic blend to fuel activity of beneficial gut bacteria
- Clinically proven antioxidants
- Formulated without intact animal protein sources

For best results: – Gradually transition to this new food for 7 days or more. – Exclusively feed the recommended Prescription Diet dry and wet foods. – Keep fresh water available at all times. – Have your veterinarian monitor your pet's condition. – To prevent suffocation, keep the packaging out of the reach of pets & children.
