Feeding duration :
When a food allergy or a food intolerance is suspected, the dog’s diet should be changed without any food transition. The hypoallergenic nutritional management will be continued for the pet’s lifetime.
Soy protein hydrolisate, which is composed of low molecular weight peptides, is highly digestible and of very low allergenicity.
A reduced calorie content helps limit weight gain in dogs with a tendency to overweight.
Very high amounts of biotin, niacin and pantothenic acid, in combination with the zinc-linoleic acid complex, reduce water losses through the skin and strengthen the barrier effect of the skin.
A restricted phosphorus intake is key to help maintain renal function with age.
Recommended daily quantities (g/day):
Water should be available at all times
