Food hypersensitivity

Food hypersensitivity means that your dog responds excessively or adversely to certain ingredients in its
current diet. There are two types of hypersensitivity:

Allergy (more than 90% of cases): a reaction caused by (animal) protein, whereby the immune system reacts. Once
developed, it can remain a lifelong allergy
Intolerance: a non-immune-related response.

The associated symptoms can be identical for both forms, which makes a proper diagnosis difficult to achieve. The
complaints are usually related to skin (redness, itching) and gastrointestinal symptoms,
(diarrhoea in dogs or
vomitting)and are therefore largely general and not very
specific. A food hypersensitivity diagnosis is made based on the results of an elimination diet.

Elimination diet

The purpose of an elimination diet is to stop the dog’s symptoms. This can be done in several ways:

A diet without animal proteins (normally intolerance stems from these), such as
TROVET Exclusion/NVD. This replaces animal proteins with
vegetable proteins.

A diet with hydrolysed (animal) proteins. In this case, proteins are isolated/reduced in such a way that the
animal’s body does not recognise ingredients as allergens, so adverse reactions may be avoided.

A diet with so-called ‘novel’ proteins, e.g. horse meat, quail, turkey, venison, rabbit or lamb. Since
these animals are rarely used in commercial foodstuffs, it is unlikely that the animal has eaten them before and
therefore cannot have developed an allergy previously.

TROVET offers six such hypoallergenic diets, which can all be
followed up by a hypoallergenic food with the same protein. If you choose to use
Trovet Unique Protein Venison and it eliminates your
dog’s food allergies, you can continue to use TROVET Hypoallergenic VPD (Venison) Dog indefinitely.

Key features of TROVET Hypoallergenic VPD (Venison) Dog

TROVET Hypoallergenic VPD (Venison) Dog is hypoallergenic because it contains venison and potato, a combination which is known to seldom
cause allergic reactions in dogs. By switching to a hypoallergenic diet food like TROVET Hypoallergenic VPD (Venison) Dog, reactions such as
scratching, rubbing and biting are slowly reduced. In addition, TROVET Hypoallergenic VPD (Venison) Dog contains all of the essential nutrients
for your dog in optimal amounts. It is important to understand that some complaints, such as skin conditions, will
only improve slowly. If symptoms decrease or disappear entirely, a food allergy can be successfully diagnosed.

Not suitable for

Dog with hypersensitivity to venison
Puppies

Use

The recommended initial term of use is 3-8 weeks. If the symptoms of hypersensitivity disappear, TROVET Hypoallergenic VPD (Venison) Dog can be used indefinitely. Strict observance of the prescribed diet is highly important.
