Hill's Prescription Diet z/d Original Skin/Food Sensitivities Canned Dog Food
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
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.

| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |

By marcia on Jan 6, 2022
I just ordered a case of this food... went to open my 1st can and it was like sawdust all the way thru the can... threw it out--opened another one... same thing... opened a 3rd can and it was normal. I called chewy to let them know and the customer service was terrible.... this food is really expensive and I should not have to take a loss... I do not know if I will order thru them again...

Dog loves it
By Eddie on Jan 6, 2022
I recently had to change prescription dog foods. I still had a large unopened bag of the previous prescription dog food. Chewy told me to just donate the food to my local shelter, gave me a credit for the cost of that food and immediately sent out the new food, which my dog loves. Thank you Chewy!

My dog loves this food
By Gerry on Dec 3, 2021
My dog was recently diagnosed with Addisons disease. She had been eating Royal Canin HP, but refused to eat anything at all....She ended up in the ER where she was treated, and this was the food that she liked. So, I ordered a case of it, and she is really enjoying it. I don't know if it is the food, or all the treatments she is receiving, but her skin, and fur have improved greatly. I will ask the vet..but if it is the food, I would highly recommend for dogs with skin/fur problems.

Prescription diet z/d for picky eater surprised me
By cheesecakelady24 on Dec 23, 2021 top1000Contributor
My frenchie has IBS due to allergies and shedding hair issues. She actually will eat this pasty, rubbery-like food which surprised me. I give her a Tblsp chopped in with the dry formula and she actually likes it!! Have gone thru a 7lb bag without having to switch to something else. I also use the canned food to put her meds in and roll it into a small ball, that she thinks is a treat.

Amazing for mini poodle allergies
By Libba on Jan 6, 2022
My mini poodle had to go to the ER several times due to severe reactions to her chicken diet. This was what they recommended I put her on and it’s been amazing ever since! She loves it too. Highly recommend. All poop problems gone. She’s even itching her skin less.

Miracle food for skin sensitivities
By rockyu on Jan 8, 2022
My little white Chihuahua was having a lot of skin rashes and hot spots when my vet recommended this for her. Within a very short time, she healed and has never had rashes/hot spots since. I love the quick delivery from Chewey.

This food was recommended by the lab
By Yorkiemom on Nov 11, 2021
We recently had our Yorkie, Oliver tested for allergies and our Biewer, Brodie has pancreatitis. The lab recommended Hill’s z/d formula. He was itching so much and scratching until his skin was raw looking and he was licking his paws while groaning so I was happy to place an order for this food to help him. Oliver did not touch it and I put a little on a spoon for Brodie and he spit it out. Brodie lost over 2 lbs while he was so sick from his pancreatitis. I was hoping this food would help them both. Since then I found a great food that Chewy sells and all four love it.

Finally found a winner!
By NikR on Nov 18, 2021
This is my pup’s fourth food in 22 months. Finally we found one that she can tolerate that won’t cause allergy flareups. Our vet recommended this one along with a few others, but this one has been the winner by far! She is on both the dry kibble and the wet food as well as the matching treats! This is the first food she has ever come running to when it’s time to eat. Sometimes hard to find, especially the wet food, but it’s so worth it!

picky eater
By mqculp on Nov 12, 2021
My 12 year old poodle is a picky eater with allergies galore. She has done real well on this strict diet. She even likes it! It is a mousse like consistency which she has not preferred in the past, always opting for crunchier bites. She has been on it for 2 months now and her skin and tummy problems have cleared. I am so grateful. I have been dealing with her problems for just about 12 years and finally have a solution! Thank you.
