      Hypoallergenic food for dogs with allergies FAQs

      What is hypoallergenic dog food?

      Hypoallergenic dog food is designed to reduce the risk of food intolerances and allergies. These diets use limited, carefully chosen ingredients and are often grain-free to avoid common triggers. They may also support skin health and help manage inflammation throughout the body and are suitable for use in elimination diets.

      What is hydrolysed chicken?

      Hydrolysed chicken is a specially processed form of chicken protein that’s broken down into smaller pieces, making it easier for dogs to digest and less likely to trigger an adverse reaction - even in dogs with a known chicken intolerance.

      Benefits of hydrolysed chicken

      This makes it ideal for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies. By using hydrolysed chicken, we provide a high-quality, natural protein source that supports gentle digestion while reducing the risk of triggering an allergy.

      Advice from our veterinarian

        Meet Dr Marvin Firth MRCVS, DipACVP, MRSB


        I have been a vet for over 16 years, having graduated with honours and distinction in veterinary science. Since qualifying as a vet, I have worked with a wide range of species across various countries and throughout the UK.

        I have been fortunate to further my studies at Cambridge, Surrey University and the Royal Veterinary College. I have also undertaken work at both Cornell and Utrecht universities in the US and Holland. These varied experiences have enabled me to encounter a massive spectrum of cases relating to our pets and appreciate how preventative health care plays a major role in their longevity and quality of life.

        Attaining international specialist status in veterinary pathology has been a pinnacle of my career. This role allows me to support general practitioners and other specialists in the diagnosis and potential treatment of their patients. It is immensely rewarding to provide this level of support within the veterinary community.

        I am acutely aware of the human-animal bond, having had my own pets throughout my life, including my current dog, Rye, who constantly reminds me of the deep connection we share with our animals. Whilst I work as a specialist, I continue to see patients in the home every week. This keeps me grounded in the real nature of pets as members of the family and the essential role of a veterinary surgeon as a trusted source of advice and support.

        I feel privileged to help both my patients and their owners achieve the best health outcomes. I strongly believe that nutrition is a strong daily contributor to their overall vitality and helps them thrive.

        How can your vet diagnose allergies?

        Your vet will go through your pet’s history with you and perform a physical exam of your dog to look for signs of allergies. They may ask questions relating to their routine to determine if any environmental factors could also play a role in the development of the condition. If indicated, it may be that additional testing of the blood or skin tests may also help establish a diagnosis.

        How can a veterinary hypoallergenic diet help your dog?

        A vet may recommended a hypoallergenic diet that can help to reduce the symptoms of allergies or intolerances and with the increased intake of levels of vitamins and minerals, can help aid your dog’s immune system to reduce the risk of reoccurrence.

        How long should I feed my dog this hypoallergenic diet?

        In cases of trial of reduction of nutrient intolerance, approximately 3 - 8 weeks. The diet can be used indefinitely when intolerance symptoms are noted to subside.

        Contraindications: Not suitable for puppies, pregnant and lactating bitches.
