Hill's Prescription Diet Dog Derm Complete Original is made with highly hydrolyzed animal protein and a single carbohydrate source. This means it helps avoid the most common food allergens. Also, the hydrolysis process breaks proteins down, avoiding detection by the immune system, which is what triggers adverse reactions. By normalizing your dog’s immune response, you also minimize reactions to environmental irritants.

At the same time, Hill's Prescription Diet Dog Derm Complete Original contains high levels of essential fatty acids, which support a healthy skin barrier. In fact, this prescription wet food has high levels of linoleic acid (LA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). LA strengthens the skin’s barrier, keeping irritants out. On the other hand, DHA and EPA decrease inflammation.

Because the best offense is a good defense, Hill's Prescription Diet Dog Derm Complete Original contains the proprietary HistaGuard complex, made from a blend of bioactives and phytonutrients. By rejuvenating the skin barrier with vitamin A, zinc, and essential fatty acids, this unique complex creates a barrier against future episodes. It also disrupts the internal allergy response, decreasing inflammation.

Lastly, Hill's Prescription Diet Dog Derm Complete Original also features Hill’s proprietary S+OXSHIELD seal of approval, which means its nutrient standards actively stimulate a urinary environment that helps reduce the risk for struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
