Product Information
Full details
Specific CDD Food Allergen Management is designed for dogs suffering from food allergies or intolerances, offering a targeted dietary solution that utilizes hydrolyzed proteins to minimize immune triggers. This high-quality dry food provides essential nutrition while supporting overall digestive health, skin condition, and coat vitality. It is an excellent choice for owners working with a veterinarian to manage dermatological or gastrointestinal symptoms related to food sensitivities, though it is intended specifically for therapeutic use rather than as a general maintenance diet.

FAQs
Can I feed my dog treats while on this diet?
No. During an elimination diet, your dog should only consume the Specific CDD food to ensure results are not skewed by other protein sources.
How long should my dog stay on this diet?
This is determined by your veterinarian. Often, it is used for an initial 8-week trial to see if symptoms improve.
Is this suitable for puppies?
Specific CDD is a therapeutic diet. Please consult your veterinarian to ensure it meets the specific growth requirements of your puppy.
What does hydrolyzed mean?
It means the protein molecules have been chemically broken down into tiny fragments so they are too small for the immune system to detect as an allergen.
Does this food help with seasonal allergies?
No, this food is specifically for managing food-related allergies and intolerances, not environmental allergies like pollen or grass.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food
Try warming a small amount of water to soften the kibble or transition more slowly by mixing in a higher ratio of the old food initially.
Symptoms persist after several weeks
Consult your veterinarian to ensure no 'hidden' treats or environmental factors are interfering with the exclusion diet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using this product, consult your veterinarian to confirm it is the appropriate choice for your dog's specific symptoms. For an accurate food trial, the dog must receive no other food, treats, or table scraps that contain non-hydrolyzed proteins. Store the 2kg bag in a cool, dry place and ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Always provide constant access to fresh, clean water.
