Clinically tested nutrition for both food and environmental allergies (advertorial)

Did you know that 90% of allergic skin disease is NOT caused by allergies to food?¹

And 20% - 30% of allergic dogs that are diagnosed with adverse reactions to food have concurrent environmental allergies?²

Hill’s Prescription Diet Derm Complete simplifies the management of allergic skin disease. Clinically tested to help manage BOTH environmental AND food allergies, the food starts working with the first bowl.

Formulated to help support a healthy skin barrier, normalise the immune response and to avoid common food allergens, Hill’s Prescription Diet Derm Complete helps effectively manage itching in dogs with environmental and/or food sensitivities, year-round.

• Single, high-quality animal protein, egg, that has been shown to help control clinical signs including scratching, head shaking, sleep & stool quality in dogs with food allergies³. Egg is a very uncommon allergen, making up only around 4% of all reported food allergies, or 0.4% of all causes of allergic skin disease⁴.
• HistaGuard Complex, a proprietary blend of bioactives and phytonutrients, that help to normalise the immune system reaction to environmental allergens.
• Fortified with omega 3 and 6 fatty acids to help support healthy skin which is a barrier against potential environmental allergens.

Hill’s Derm Complete is appropriate for approximately 99.6% of dogs with allergic skin disease*.

Include Hill’s Derm Complete as part of your multimodal management for ALL allergic skin conditions from the very FIRST itchy dog appointment.

^{*Based on the Mueller 2016 study above, Derm Complete is appropriate for 96% of dogs with a food allergy.  Since only 10% of allergic dogs have a food allergy and only 4% of those have an allergy to egg that means 99.6% of dogs with allergies could be fed Derm Complete.}
