Arden Grange VetCare Hypoallergenic Dog Food

Arden Grange VetCare Hypoallergenic — Hydrolysed Chicken & Sweet Potato

A dietetic complete dry food for adult dogs, vet approved and specifically formulated to support skin function in cases of dermatosis and excessive hair loss, and to reduce ingredient and nutrient intolerances. Made with hydrolysed chicken protein — broken down into very small molecular fragments to minimise immune triggers and reduce the risk of allergic reactions — paired with sweet potato as a gentle, naturally digestible carbohydrate. Once a vet has identified the cause of your dog’s sensitivities, VetCare Hypoallergenic offers gentle, targeted nutritional support through carefully balanced nutrition.

Please seek veterinary advice before feeding or before extending the feeding period beyond the recommended duration.

Indicated For

• Dermatosis & excessive hair loss — supports skin function in cases of dermatological conditions; feeding period as directed by your vet
• Nutrient & ingredient intolerance reduction — helps reduce reactions to food ingredients and nutrients; recommended feeding period 3–8 weeks, can be used indefinitely once intolerance symptoms subside

Key Features

• Hydrolysed chicken protein — chicken protein broken down into very small molecular fragments, too small to be recognised as allergens by the immune system; minimises immune triggers and significantly reduces the risk of adverse food reactions in sensitive dogs
• Sweet potato — a gentle, highly digestible, naturally hypoallergenic carbohydrate; low in common allergens and kind to sensitive digestive systems
• Grain free formula — no wheat, corn, rice or other grains; eliminates a common source of dietary triggers for dogs with food intolerances
• Vet approved dietetic complete feed — nutritionally complete dry food; no additional supplementation required during the feeding period (unless advised by your vet)

Feeding Guidelines

Amounts shown on pack are a guide only. Adjust feeding quantities according to your dog’s individual needs — age, sex, activity level, metabolism and environment all affect optimal intake. For an elimination diet trial to identify food triggers, feed exclusively — no other foods, treats or supplements — for the full recommended duration. Always ensure fresh, clean drinking water is available at all times.

Contraindications

Not suitable for puppies, pregnant bitches or lactating bitches.

Important Notice

Dietary complete feeds can support but not replace veterinary treatment. Always consult your veterinarian before feeding a dietetic food or before extending the feeding period beyond the recommended duration. By purchasing this product, you confirm you have read and understood this information.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Arden Grange VetCare Hypoallergenic suitable for?

It is indicated for dogs with dermatosis and excessive hair loss where diet may be a contributing factor, and for dogs requiring reduction of ingredient and nutrient intolerances. It should be used under veterinary guidance following proper diagnosis.

What is hydrolysed chicken protein and why is it used?

Hydrolysed protein is protein that has been enzymatically broken down into very small molecular fragments. These fragments are too small to be recognised by the immune system as allergens, making hydrolysed chicken one of the most effective protein sources for dogs with food allergies or intolerances. It allows dogs to receive the full nutritional benefits of chicken protein without triggering an immune response.

What is dermatosis in dogs?

Dermatosis is a general term for skin conditions in dogs, which can include itching, redness, hair loss, flaking and other skin abnormalities. In some cases, dietary ingredients can contribute to or trigger these symptoms. VetCare Hypoallergenic is formulated to support skin function and reduce dietary triggers that may be contributing to the condition.

How long should I feed this diet?

For nutrient and ingredient intolerance reduction: 3–8 weeks initially. If intolerance symptoms subside, the diet can be used indefinitely as a long-term maintenance diet. For dermatosis, follow your vet’s guidance on feeding duration and reassessment.

Can this be used as a long-term diet?

Yes — once intolerance symptoms have subsided, VetCare Hypoallergenic can be fed indefinitely as a maintenance diet, making it one of the more flexible options in the VetCare range.

Does my dog need to eat exclusively this food during the trial period?

Yes — for an effective elimination diet trial, your dog should eat only this food with no other foods, treats, chews or supplements that could introduce potential allergens. Even small amounts of other foods can invalidate the trial. Consult your vet for full guidance.

How does this differ from the VetCare Hypoallergenic cans?

Both share the same hydrolysed chicken and sweet potato formula and therapeutic positioning. The dry kibble format is convenient for daily feeding and portion control, while the canned wet format offers higher moisture content — useful for dogs who need increased hydration or prefer wet food. Both are nutritionally complete.

Is this grain free?

Yes — VetCare Hypoallergenic is a grain free formula containing no wheat, corn, rice or other grains.

Is this suitable for puppies?

No — formulated for adult dogs only. Not suitable for puppies, pregnant bitches or lactating bitches.

Do I need a prescription?

Arden Grange VetCare diets are veterinary nutrition products. We recommend veterinary consultation before feeding. Please contact us if you have questions about suitability for your dog.
