Royal Canin Diet Canine Hypoallergenic 7kg
Royal Canin diet canine Hypoallergenic is used for diagnosis and management of adverse reactions to food. A highly palatable, highly digestible, lactose and wheat gluten free, hydrolmyzed soy protein isolate diet that is indicated in the diagnosis and management of adverse reactions to food.
Dietary sensitivity, an adverse reaction to food, is a term used to describe a clinically abnormal response to the ingestion of a particular food. Food allergy or hypersensitivity is an immunological response to the food. Most basic food ingredients, including proteins, lipoproteins, glycoproteins, and lipopolysaccharides, have the potential to induce an allergic response. Proteins are most commonly implicated in dietary sensitivity in dogs. In dogs, cow’s milk, beef, and cereal account for many reported cases. When an immunological mechanism cannot be demonstrated, food intolerance is a more appropriate term. Food intolerance may result from pharmacological, metabolic, toxic reactions, or an inability to digest the food.
Adverse reactions to food generally manifest as dermatological or gastrointestinal disease. The most common clinical signs are pruritus, vomiting, and diarrhea. Occasionally, dogs will present with signs involving both systems.
Elimination diets, with subsequent re-challenge with the original diet, are the only way to confirm a diagnosis of food allergies and intolerance in dogs. The aim is to feed a complete and balanced diet while strictly limiting the protein and carbohydrate sources by feeding protein sources to which the dog has never been previously exposed.

How Royal Canin diet canine Hypoallergenic works:
Soy protein isolate digest, which is composed of low molecular weight peptides, is highly digestible and has very low antigenic potential.
Very high amounts of biotin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and zinc-linoleic acid complex reduce transepidermal water losses and strengthen the barrier effect of the skin.
The fermentable fibers (beet pulp, FOS) and zeolite help to balance the gastrointestinal microflora and protect the intestinal mucosa. This food is wheat gluten and lactose free.
Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, and citric acid.
