Hill's Prescription Diet Canine z/d is a unique combination feed, developed to aid dogs with numerous food allergies and intolerances, which can often lead to the onset of further health conditions such as digestive difficulties. Allergies and intolerances are typically an adverse response to food proteins, and Hill's Prescription Diet z/d has been specially formulated to counter-act these proteins and lower the risk of allergies arising from beef, wheat and dairy products.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Hill's Prescription Diet z/d Food Sensitivities Dog Food, including answers from our team.
Teri Wise
Hello, my dog Luna is a Tibetan Mastiff and has a very long list of allergies, these were discovered by blood tests conducted after a long period of ear infections and itchy paws/skin. I have listed the allergies below:
Chicken
Turkey
Duck
Pork
Peas
Carrots
White Potato
Milk
Sorghum
Alfalfa
Tomato
Would this food be suitable to feed Luna?
Thank you
(I have listed all of her food allergies to aid your answer but also to hopefully help other dog owners who's pets suffer from one or all of the above to help them)
For other owners also, Luna is also allergic to trees, weeds, grass, moulds and mites! We use a prescription of Apoquel to aid her with this which is a very fast acting and helpful drug.
Hills Z/D is a hydrolysed protein diet. This means no matter what the original protein source in it is, it cannot cause a reaction in your dog. The proteins are specially processed so the body does not react to them.
It is a great choice for your allergic dog as you can guarantee it will not set off Luna's allergy. It must be fed as the only diet for this though (no treats/scavenging). It is also a veterinary diet so any use of it should be run past your vet first.
I recommend reading our blog 'Allergies in cats and dogs - a vet guide' for a good summary on allergies and how to use foods like this.

I want to feed my 10kg cockatoo who suffers from pancreatitis the correct mix of your I/D food
What quantities do you suggest for the mix.
I assume you mean '10kg Cockapoo' not Cockatoo? I do not recommend using the Hills Z/D for your dog with pancreatitis as it is not a low fat diet and it is intended for use in dogs with food allergies/intolerances. I recommend using the Hills I/D Low Fat food for your dog with pancreatitis. This should ideally be fed as the only diet, feeding guidelines can be found on the packaging itself.

Are the kibbles exactly the same just the size? Which is better for a french bulldog and can it be mixed with the wet food? Or should you stick to one or the other?
Thank you
Hello,
Thank you for your question,
The mini z/d is smaller kibble but the formulation is the same across the different sizes. I'd probably give a French Bulldog the mini version unless you know he likes larger kibble - personal preference really :-)
You can use the wet and dry together - the easiest option if your dog is fed twice a day would be to feed dry for one meal, and wet for another. Or you can mix but just take care whichever way you do it to reduce the total daily amount of each appropriately so that your dog received the correct amount of calories per day.
I hope this helps!

My dog has finished her steroids and anti biotic about a week ago. She has been on z/d for nearly three weeks. Her skin has started to go red again and has started to lick her paws again. Does this mean the allergy is not food related X
This is suspicious and it might rule out a food allergy, but it is too early to say. Some dogs do need more than 3 weeks to show a full response. Also some dogs will pinch a small amount of food (bread, biscuit etc) and if they happen to have a wheat allergy, or some other constituent of what they ate, they will react again. I would certainly suggest that you give the diet more time, but you are right and it might prove that this is not purely a dietary allergy. It is a bit too early to be sure about that.

My dog is allergic to potatoes corn wheat and rice has severe skin. Allergies tothese myvet has put him on hills zd he loves it.but notice this has potatoes in.
All the proteins in Hills z/d have been treated to make sure that they are not recognised by the immune system. This means that even if potato is bad for your dog (which is unusual but certainly possible) it is OK to give him this particular food. [The proteins are "hydrolysed" which means they are broken down into smaller molecules. This does not affect their nutritional value, but makes them unable to cause an allergic response.]

Please can you tell me if the 156g tins are permanently discontinued?
Yes, Hills have discontinued the 24 x 156g cans and replaced them with the 12 x 370g cans.
