Food sensitivities and intolerance are potentially serious problems that can result in sensitive or irritated skin, coat and ear conditions or even gastrointestinal upset. Dogs that have a food sensitivity or intolerance, also called adverse reactions to food, typically experience an abnormal response to the protein in the food. If your dog suffers from adverse reactions to food, it is even more important to feed them the right kind of food. Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet z/d clinical nutrition especially formulated to support your dog's skin and food sensitivities. In fact, z/d is clinically proven nutrition to help avoid adverse reactions to food.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Apparently added nutrition to restricted diet
By Curiousinva on Oct 4, 2020
Our vet recommended this to supplement a restrictive diet (due to problems absorbing normal protein) for our 11 year old dog. We smear this on top of his regular food. He loves it, and appears to need the added nutrition. It is early, but it appears to help. We bought the smaller cans so less was sitting around as we used this as a supplement. Perfect size and very little difference in price (as a matter of fact, this puts the total just over the free shipping threshhold.

This food has been awesome!
By mastiffmom on Sep 27, 2020
We have used this food for many years for several dogs. We had an older English Mastiff who had terrible skin issues that cleared up completely on this food. We have a toy poodle with Cushings Disease and heart disease and this food has been great for her. It helps keep her disease process stable. I have another toy poodle who eats it as well since it eliminated his ear issues. I am happy to have found this food.

By Odie112 on Aug 28, 2020
My dog is 5 and he always had allergies and gets super itchy and is super sensitive to new foods that he gets a special allergy shot every 8 weeks ive tried every diet even expensive blue buffalo i even tried a home cook just beef and turkey with broccoli diet and he would still get allergies and or hate the food but this hills diet he loves it he gets half wet and half dry with some fish oil from the vet and his skin is doing so good!! And he loves his food so much only complaint is i wish the food was more mushy so its easier to mix but other than that i would recommend this diet for really sensitive dogs

My dog can tolerate this canned food, so far
By Chloesmom on Aug 3, 2020
My dog has had pancreatitis, elevated kidney function tests, and gall bladder trouble and needed a lower fat food. She's on dry Royal Canin PW, but to give her meds and entice her to eat, I use a little of the z/d canned food. She had bowel and stomach trouble on the z/d dry food which has more fat. She also has allergies.

CHANGED TO THIS FOOD
By LaCostaLady on Jul 24, 2020
BOTH of my dogs have allergies. They love this new food and I noticed a big difference with the itching. This food reduced itching remarkably. I am happy with this new product. Also, if you need to give meds...they love the canned food and the meds are well hidden.

Dogs like it, but it has a rubbery weird consistency
By Cizzle29 on Jun 17, 2020
My dogs seem to like the taste and texture of this food. However, I always mix wet + dry food for dinner time and this food is so strange. It has almost a rubbery/bouncy consistency, probably due to the cornstarch. If it does its job and helps my dog with her stomach issues then I will be happy. So far, it seems okay, but I have no idea if this will completely fix her inflammation and GI issues.
