Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Hill's Prescription Diet z/d Original Flavor Dog Food provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of adult dogs.

Food sensitivities and intolerances can cause skin irritation, ear conditions, and digestive upset. Dogs with adverse food reactions, often due to food allergies or intolerances, benefit from a diet specifically designed to support food sensitivities.

Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet z/d, a clinical nutrition specially formulated to support dogs with food sensitivities. Clinically proven to help avoid adverse food reactions, z/d provides targeted nutrition for dogs with food allergies or intolerances.

Made with Hill’s breakthrough ActivBiome+ Digestion, a proprietary blend of prebiotic fibers, which is clinically shown to activate the gut microbiome to support digestive health and promote healthy stool. This nutrition is also clinically shown to firm loose stool in 3 days.
