    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.

    Also available in TROVET Hypoallergenic VPD (Venison) Dog - Tin.

TROVET Hypoallergenic VPD (Venison) Dog reviews
  • Poultry fat!!!
    By Laura Clarke, Tuesday 13 September 2022

    What’s the point of an elimination diet for dogs with common allergies and add chicken fat to the ingredients! That’s one of the most allergenic proteins for dogs! It literally says “just one source of protein” false advertising.

    Answer from Medpets

    Thank you for your review. Dogs with food allergies react to the proteins in the food and not the fats. This food contains only 1 (unknown) protein source and no other animal protein which makes it suitable as an elimination diet. Hoping to have informed you sufficiently,

  • Very pleased.

    We were advised to try this food for our dog after she was referred by our vet to see a spcialist for inflammatary bowel. Seems to be working well.

    Fantastic food my Weatie has no more skin problems this food has saved me a fortune on Vet bills he is very happy dog now

  • A good product.
    By Michelle harlow, Wednesday 14 March 2018

    A good product that arrived in good condition. My dog is diagnosed IBD so it’s early days yet ,so we may have to change to another food again . The dog is eating it well at the moment . I would like to add the staff were fantastic! I am sure if I need to change to a different protein source the staff will support me with this too. Only thing I would like is a bigger bag eg 12 kg and a 6kg would help the range . For people with larger dogs .

  • Not good this time
    By Lesley , Monday 27 July 2020

    I usually receive very good chewable Venison Tendons Dog Treats for my 3 dogs to chew on. My dogs absolutely love these Venison Tendon Treats. They are usually good quality Treats and the dogs keep going back to them to chew on throughout the days. However, on this occasion the Venison treats, apart from taking approximately 10 weeks to arrive they are of an inferior quality and my dogs are not happy with the quality of them and have been refusing to eat/chew them. I spend £225 every few weeks for theses Treats, but this time of ordering I have been less than impressed and certainly not worth £225. I will have to give very serious consideration as to whether I reorder them. I am just hoping that these poor quality Tendons is a one off, but still not good value for money nevertheless.
