Product Description
TROVET Hypoallergenic RRD (Rabbit) Dog
TROVET Hypoallergenic RRD (Rabbit) Dog is a hypoallergenic dog food containing all essential nutrients. The combination of rabbit and rice rarely causes hypersensitivity reactions. This is partly because TROVET Hypoallergenic RRD (Rabbit) is based on just one protein source and one carbohydrate source. Switching to a hypoallergenic diet helps prevent immunological reactions (food allergy) and non-immunological reactions (food intolerance) that can lead to skin or digestive issues. It reduces the likelihood of unpleasant symptoms such as scratching, rubbing, and biting.
Food hypersensitivity in dogs
Food hypersensitivity means that your dog reacts excessively or abnormally to certain ingredients in its current diet. There are two main forms of hypersensitivity:
- Allergy (more than 90% of cases): a reaction caused by (animal) proteins, triggering an immune system response. Once developed, an allergy can persist for life.
- Intolerance: a reaction not linked to the immune system.
The associated symptoms can be identical for both forms, which makes diagnosis more difficult. Common signs are skin problems (redness, itching) and gastrointestinal issues (diarrhoea, vomiting) – general and non-specific symptoms. The diagnosis of food hypersensitivity is usually made based on the results of an elimination diet. For more information, see the article Food Allergy in Dogs and Cats.
