Hydrolyzed
Hydrolyzed
For sensitive dogs – hypoallergenic, easily digestible and reliable
Hydrolyzed dog kibbles are specially developed for dogs with food allergies or intolerances. Through the hydrolysis process, proteins are broken down into such small pieces that the immune system no longer recognizes them as allergens.
The result: less chance of allergic reactions, calm digestion and a happy dog. Ideal for dogs with itching, skin problems or chronic intestinal issues.
* Crispy kibbles – Crunchy, tasty and suitable for every dog.
Hydrolyzed — Frequently asked questions
Which dogs benefit most from hydrolyzed dog food?
Hydrolyzed formulas are intended for dogs with suspected food‑triggered allergies or intolerances — for example persistent itching, recurring ear or skin infections, or chronic digestive upset. They are also useful when a dog shows poor tolerance to standard diets. For dogs without those symptoms a hydrolyzed diet is usually unnecessary; for growing puppies or medically complex cases, check that the formula is appropriate for that life stage and follow your veterinarian's advice.
How does hydrolyzed protein compare to other hypoallergenic options?
Hydrolyzed protein is chemically broken down into very small fragments so the immune system is less likely to recognise them. Compared with novel‑protein or limited‑ingredient diets, kies hydrolyzed if your dog has had no clear response to novel proteins or if reactions are severe or unpredictable. Choose a novel or limited formula first when symptoms are mild and you want simpler ingredient lists and higher palatability; choose hydrolyzed when diagnostic certainty or stronger reduction of allergic triggers is required.
How should I switch my dog to hydrolyzed kibble and monitor progress?
If the diet is prescribed for an elimination trial or medical reason, follow your veterinarian's instructions exactly and feed the hydrolyzed food exclusively. For general transitions, introduce the new kibble gradually over several days to a week to avoid stomach upset. Monitor stool quality, itching, coat condition and energy levels; many dogs show improvement within weeks, and vets commonly recommend an exclusive trial period (often several weeks to a few months) when diagnosing food reactions. Keep a short diary and report persistent or worsening signs to your vet.
How should I store and feed hydrolyzed kibble at home?
Store dry hydrolyzed kibble in its original bag folded closed or in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness. Measure portions according to the feeding guide or your vet's directions and maintain a consistent feeding schedule. During an elimination period avoid giving other foods, table scraps, or non‑compatible treats — use treats or supplements that are explicitly compatible with a hydrolyzed regimen. Choose a kibble size suitable for your dog's mouth to make eating comfortable and encourage proper chewing.
