Hill's PRESCRIPTION DIET z/d Dog Food is a complete dietetic pet food for reduction of ingredient and nutrient intolerances in adult dogs. This food contains a selected carbohydrate source and a hydrolysed protein source.

Food sensitivities and intolerance are potentially serious problems that can result in irritated skin, coat and ear conditions or even gastrointestinal upset. Dogs that have adverse food reactions due to a food allergy (typically to a protein in the food) or intolerance benefit from a food designed for food sensitivities. Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet z/d clinical nutrition especially formulated to support your dog's food sensitivities.
