    Food hypersensitivity

    Food hypersensitivity means that your dog responds excessively or adversely to specific ingredients in its current diet. There are two types of hypersensitivity:

    • Allergy (more than 90% of the cases): a reaction caused by (animal) protein, whereby the immune system responds. Once developed, the allergy is usually permanent.
    • Intolerance: an immune-related reaction.

    The associated symptoms can be identical in both cases, making it difficult to properly diagnose. The complaints are usually skin related (redness, itching) and gastrointestinal symptoms (such as vomiting in dogs or diarrhoea), and therefore very general and not specific. A food sensitivity diagnosis is made based on the results of an elimination diet.

    Elimination diet

    The aim of an elimination diet is to stop the dog's symptoms of intolerance. This can be done in several ways:

    • A diet without animal protein (the most common cause of allergies), such as TROVET Exclusion/NVD. This product uses vegetable protein instead of animal protein.
    • A diet with hydrolysed (animal) protein. In this case, proteins are isolated/reduced in such a way that the animal's body does not recognise ingredients as allergens, so adverse reactions may be avoided.
    • A diet with so-called "novel" proteins e.g. horse meat, quail, turkey, venison, rabbit or lamb. Since these animals are rarely used in commercial foodstuffs, it is unlikely that the animal has eaten them before and therefore cannot have developed an allergy previously. Trovet has 6 different elimination diets to choose from which can all follow a hypoallergenic diet with the same protein source. If you choose to use TROVET Unique Protein Lamb and it eliminates your dog's food allergies, you can continue to use TROVET Hypoallergenic Lamb (LRD) indefinitely.

    Hypoallergenic diet

    TROVET Hypoallergenic LRD (Lamb) Dog is hypoallergenic because it contains lamb and rice, a combination which is known to rarely cause hypersensitive reactions. By switching to a hypoallergenic diet food such as TROVET LRD, reactions such as scratching, rubbing and biting are slowly reduced. You can also give your dog responsible snacks using Trovet Hypoallergenic Treats. In addition, TROVET Hypoallergenic LRD (Lamb) Dog contains all of the essential nutrients for your dog in optimal amounts. Please note that not all complaints will immediately diminish or disappear. Skin conditions tend to improve gradually. If symptoms decrease or disappear entirely, a food allergy can be successfully diagnosed.

    Key features of TROVET LRD Hypoallergenic (Lamb) for Dogs

    • Hypoallergenic diet based on a single protein and a single carbohydrate source (lamb and rice).
    • Prevents immunological reactions (food allergy) or non-immunological reactions (food intolerance) in the form of skin disorders and/or gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhoea, vomiting).
    • Changing to a hypoallergenic diet can help reduce possible secondary skin lesions from scratching, rubbing and biting as a result of itching.
    • Contains all essential nutrients in optimal amounts.

  • Dog loves it
    By M Stead, Sunday 2 October 2022

    Our dog has IBD, he tried 2 other hypoallergenic foods before this one. Both trials failed, and he continued to be sick. This food has been wonderful, sickness has stopped, and it is by far the most appealing food we have tried. The dog loves it, we mix a small amount of the meat in with the dry.

  • Great

    My dog has allergies and this is all he can eat so far. He really likes it topped with a wet food.

  • Excellent product

    My dog is extremely ill with inflammatory bowel disease but he loves this food and it does seem to help. Wash out the gravy from the tin with a bit of hot water and smoosh it up. Looks tasty enough to eatmyself.

  • Very happy dog!

    My 20 month old puppy had gone off her usual food and I was struggling to feed her. My friend suggested I try her pups food, which I did. After three Days of completely empty Dishes, I ordered the product. She is still enjoying her meals very much and I can relax knowing she’s a happy well fed pup again!
