Vet confirmation for clinical diets
Specialist and prescription foods should be chosen with your vet, especially for severe allergies, renal disease, urinary conditions or long-term medication plans.
Allergy, intolerance and sensitivity are not interchangeable
Skin, ear and gastrointestinal signs can have many causes. A product described as hypoallergenic may be useful in some plans, but the label does not diagnose the cause of symptoms.
A controlled trial needs control
A vet may recommend a hydrolysed or novel-protein diet and a defined trial period. Treats, chews, supplements and flavoured medicines may matter too, so ask what is allowed before you start.
