Hill's Prescription Diet z/d Food Sensitivities Wet Cat Food

Hill's Prescription Diet z/d Food Sensitivities Wet Cat Food is a therapeutic wet food for cats with food allergies, skin allergies, and gastrointestinal allergies. It uses hydrolyzed proteins to reduce the immune response, helping to alleviate itching, skin irritation, and chronic digestive problems.

Food allergies and skin allergies are quite concerning for pets and their owners, as these disorders can cause skin irritation, dull coat, poor ear health, or even digestive system dysfunction. Therefore, cats experiencing these problems are collectively referred to as having adverse food reactions. In many cases, these problems in cats are due to an overreaction of the body's immune system to proteins in food. Therefore, if you know your cat is experiencing adverse reactions to food, providing the correct and appropriate diet for sick animals is extremely important. At Hill's, expert nutritionists and veterinarians have developed a specialized food formula for cats with food-related skin allergies and food sensitivities. Furthermore, the Z/D formula is clinically proven to help avoid adverse food reactions.

Benefits:

• Hydrolyzed Protein: This is a key feature of the z/d® formula, where protein from a single source (e.g., hydrolyzed chicken) is broken down or chopped into very small pieces so that the cat's immune system doesn't perceive it as a "foreign substance," thus not triggering allergic reactions.
  
• Single Carbohydrate Source: Uses a limited carbohydrate source (e.g., corn starch) to reduce the chance of exposure to common allergens.
• Improves skin and coat: Rich in high levels of essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6) to help maintain the skin barrier and promote a beautiful coat.
• Aids digestion: An extra-digestive formula that helps relieve diarrhea, vomiting, or other digestive problems caused by food allergies.
• S+OXSHIELD Technology: Helps reduce the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation in the urinary tract.
• ActivBiome+ Technology: A unique technology that supplements prebiotics to maintain a healthy gut microbiome.

Not recommended for:

Growing kittens, or pregnant or lactating cats.
