Introducing Hill’s first diet for environmental and food allergies*

*Advertorial: Hill's Pet Nutrition

Have you heard about Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s new nutritional breakthrough for the management of your patients with environmental and/or food allergies? 

The new food is Hill’s Prescription Diet Derm Complete. 

NUTRITION FOR FOOD AND ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGIES 

Traditionally, skin sensitivities have been a frustrating experience for everyone involved— uncomfortable for the itching pet with irritated skin, and disruptive for pet parents just trying to get a good night’s sleep. And on top of that, figuring out what to do next can be expensive and time-consuming. 

But with Hill’s latest innovation, Prescription Diet Derm Complete, we can work to make that a thing of the past. Now you can use nutrition to help manage itching, whether the cause is environmental or food related, right from the first visit.  

In fact, Derm Complete demonstrated equivalent control of clinical signs including scratching, head shaking and sleep quality, as a competitor hydrolysed protein therapeutic foodª in a 21 day feeding trial among dogs with a history of food allergies,¹,² PLUS it helps manage environmental allergies. 

How does it work for environmental allergies? 

Derm Complete features HistaGuard Complex, a proprietary blend of bioactives and phytonutrients which helps to normalise the immune system reaction to environmental allergens. It also contains an appropriate omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio to help manage inflammation. Owners reported a reduction in scratching in 82% of dogs with environmental allergies.³ 

How does it work for food allergies? 

In addition to HistaGuard Complex, Derm Complete is made with egg as the single intact animal protein source — a high-quality protein that avoids 96% of canine food allergies⁴ and helps reduce itching. Visible skin healing was seen in as little as 21 days in dogs with food allergies.² 

So whether your patient is experiencing environmental allergies or food allergies, you can feel confident that Hill’s Prescription Diet Derm Complete is clinically tested nutrition for both conditions.
