Hypoallergenic Diet

[Josie]

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a reasonably good priced hypoallergenic food?

Dens currently on Hills z/d but at £78 every 12 days (that’s with 15% discount) it’s bankrupting us!

The vet has told us that dogs with IBD struggle to digest proteins.

If we can’t find anything else then we’ll have to manage but it’s so expensive!

I had a look on www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk and theres a number of foods, but Hills wasn't on the list so I don't know how they compare for cost. I set filters for a lab, 10 years old, hypoallergenic.

I don't think the result page link is shareable but in case -

The Dog Food Directory - now listing 2126 dog foods!

Thanks @JoanneF - I’ll take a look now!

I guess Hills may not be on their because it’s vet prescribed

I just had an email...Lily's kitchen give 20% discount until 12th in this month for their foods with code 'MARCH' and they do hypoallergenic food. Maybe it could be some use for you?

Hi Josie, I did A LOT of searching and trying before settling on Fish 4 Dogs, we tried jameswellbeloved and scrumbles wet food but the gluten-free recipe of fish 4 dogs really worked well with lily plus its not too bad price wise and its packed with omega 3 and loads of vitamins and minerals that helps with digestion and energy as well as produce healthy coats and skin.

Hi Josie,
Hypoallergenic in a veterinary diet tends to mean something different to hypoallergenic pet foods, which does complicate matters a little! In a veterinary hypoallergenic diet the proteins have essentially been broken down into their constituent parts so that the source of the protein is not identifiable by the dog's immune system - to avoid sensitivities. Whereas pet foods tend to use the term hypoallergenic to mean that the recipe excludes ingredients which more commonly cause sensitivity - like dairy, soya, wheat, etc.
Just something to be mindful of dependent on the type of hypoallergenic you need for your pooch!
