Exclusion Diet Hypoallergenic Duck and Potatoes 400GR is a complete food designed specifically for dogs suffering from food intolerances or allergies. It uses only duck as the sole animal protein source and potatoes as the sole source of carbohydrates, drastically limiting the presence of possible allergens. Thanks to this single-protein and single-carbohydrate formulation, the risk of adverse reactions to food components is reduced. This product guarantees a balanced supply of nutrients, useful during exclusion diets for subjects with delicate digestion or skin manifestations due to food sensitivity. It contains no unnecessary additives, colors, artificial preservatives, gluten or lactose, thus promoting digestive and general well-being.
The consistency of Exclusion Diet Hypoallergenic Duck and Potatoes is designed to be palatable even for the most demanding dogs. The balanced mixture makes the diet varied and invites the animal to spontaneous consumption. Thanks to the delicate recipe, this canned wet food effectively supports the health of the skin and coat, protecting the integrity of the skin barrier and helping to relieve irritation and itching related to food allergies. The high digestibility of duck and potatoes promotes adequate assimilation of nutrients without overloading the digestive system, ideal during medium-long term hypoallergenic regimes.
This food should be administered as part of a targeted nutritional plan, followed by the veterinarian, to recognize and manage food intolerances in adult dogs of all sizes.
Therapeutic Indications
Exclusion Diet Hypoallergenic Duck and Potato is specifically formulated for the nutritional management of dogs experiencing adverse reactions to food, such as dermatitis, itching, recurrent ear infections, chronic gastrointestinal disorders or episodes of diarrhea and vomiting associated with food sensitivities. Food intolerances and allergies in dogs can cause persistent symptoms that affect the animal's quality of life and compromise the effectiveness of other treatments. This monoprotein animal (duck) and monohydric (potato) food eliminates from the diet the main sources of allergens responsible for the most frequent clinical manifestations in our animals, such as chicken, beef, wheat, lactose and soy.
The exclusion diet is recommended to: identify any intolerances, improve skin health, reduce intestinal inflammation and promote general health in subjects with chronic problems not responsive to common treatments. It can be used as a maintenance diet after the allergenic source identification phase, allowing constant control of relapses. It is also indicated as a basis for the gradual reintroduction of new foods according to specific veterinary protocols.
Composition
Main Composition: Duck (exclusive source of highly digestible animal proteins, suitable for sensitive subjects with multiple allergies or intolerances) and Potatoes (unique carbohydrate component, known for its low allergenicity and digestive support). These ingredients guarantee maximum purity of the formulation and a reduced allergenic load.
Other typical ingredients of this recipe may include vegetable oil as a source of essential fatty acids, balanced minerals, group B vitamins, vitamin E and C to support the immune system, and possibly soluble and insoluble fibers useful for promoting intestinal peristalsis and correct gastrointestinal transit.
The absolute absence of preservatives and artificial colourings, together with the lack of cereals, gluten and lactose, strengthens the hypoallergenic profile of the product, making it suitable also for subjects with multiple sensitivities.
Contraindications
This food is not suitable for puppies or growing dogs who require a specific caloric and nutritional intake other than their maintenance needs. It should not be used in individuals already known to be hypersensitive to duck or potatoes (although these cases are very rare). In some pathological conditions, such as acute pancreatitis in the active phase, severe renal failure or other serious ongoing metabolic pathologies, the diet should be adjusted on the advice of the treating veterinarian, who will evaluate the tolerance to the ingredients on a case-by-case basis and the possible need for further integrations or exclusions.
Do not use in the absence of specific veterinary advice when the dog shows non-specific symptoms which could indicate conditions other than food intolerances.
Safety of the Drug for the Species
The exclusive use of selected and carefully controlled ingredients, such as duck and potatoes, limits the risk of exposure to contaminants and potentially allergenic substances. The diet ensures safe use even in subjects with a clinical history of repeated adverse food reactions. It is made according to rigorous quality standards, ensuring the absence of chemical residues and off-targets typical of conventional industrial foods.
There are no known side effects due to the proposed composition except in cases of individual allergies to specific ingredients. The optimal assimilation of nutrients and high tolerance of this dietary regime are supported by veterinary literature which recommends the use of limited ingredient diets for cases of food intolerance. Any atypical manifestations must be promptly reported to the trusted veterinarian for a prompt clinical evaluation of the general health situation.
Precautions
To avoid cross-contamination, use only clean utensils during administration. Make sure that all family members know the importance of not offering snacks, table scraps or other foods not included in the hypoallergenic diet, so as to guarantee the effectiveness of the dietary intervention. If the dog temporarily refuses the food, do not force it; consult your veterinarian to evaluate safe alternatives. Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct light, and after opening, store in the refrigerator, using the product within a few days to maintain freshness and food hygiene.
Adherence to the established nutritional scheme is essential to obtain the desired therapeutic results; any additions or changes in diet should only be evaluated by the veterinary surgeon.
