Additional information
• The hydrolyzed animal proteins in Prescription Diet® z/d®
ULTRA Allergen-Free Canine have an average molecular
weight less than 3,000 daltons. This allows them to
escape detection by the immune system, which helps
avoid adverse reactions.
• The hydrolyzed animal protein source and a single,
highly digestible carbohydrate source (starch), help avoid
common food allergens.
• Pruritic dermatitis, chronic otitis externa: Adverse food
reactions in dogs typically occur as non-seasonal pruritic
dermatitis. Many dogs with adverse food reactions only
have clinical signs of chronic otitis externa.
• Chronic gastroenteritis, chronic colitis: Adverse food
reactions can result in chronic vomiting and/or diarrhea
associated with gastrointestinal inflammation. Mildly
affected dogs may only show an increase in the number
of bowel movements or may have occasional vomiting.
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Adverse reactions to
food may be associated with IBD. Prescription Diet z/d
products may be helpful for dogs with inflammatory
bowel disease.
