Hypoallergenic Veterinary Formula by HardyPaw
What Is Hills Z/D Prescription Diet Dog Food and Why Is It Recommended by Vets?
Hills Prescription Diet Z/D Skin/Food Sensitivities Dog Dry Food (3.63 kg) is a clinically proven hypoallergenic diet specially formulated to help dogs suffering from adverse food reactions that lead to skin issues and digestive distress. Developed by Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians, this diet is ideal for pets with food sensitivities, itchy skin, upset stomach, or chronic gastrointestinal conditions linked to allergens.
With highly hydrolyzed animal protein, a single carbohydrate source, and natural fiber to support digestive health, Z/D also features S+OXSHIELD™ technology—a formulation that helps prevent the development of struvite and calcium oxalate urinary crystals.
This premium therapeutic nutrition is made in the USA using trusted global ingredients, ensuring every bite supports your dog’s skin, coat, digestion, and urinary health.
What Are the Benefits of Hills Z/D Dog Food for Skin & Digestive Allergies?
- Reduces Skin Irritation & Food Reactions: Formulated without additives commonly associated with allergies.
- Improves Stool Quality & Digestive Health: Natural fiber helps normalize stool consistency and promotes gut health.
- Promotes a Strong Skin Barrier: Boosted with Omega fatty acids and antioxidants to nourish and protect the skin.

- Urinary Health Support: S+OXSHIELD formula reduces the risk of urinary crystals like struvite and calcium oxalate.
- Visible Results in 30 Days: Pet owners often report a visible difference in skin and coat condition within just one month.
How Does Hills Prescription Z/D Work for Sensitive Dogs?
The therapeutic effect of Hills Z/D comes from its carefully selected ingredients and unique processing:
- Hydrolyzed Animal Protein: Protein broken into tiny components to avoid triggering allergic reactions.
- Single Carbohydrate Source: Reduces risk of food-related flare-ups.
- Natural Dietary Fiber: Improves stool formation and supports digestion.
- Antioxidant Blend: Fights oxidative stress and supports healing.
Hydrolyzed protein means the protein has been broken down into small peptides and amino acids, making it less likely to be recognized by your dog’s immune system as a threat.
How Should I Feed Hills Z/D to My Dog? (Dosage and Administration)
Always consult your veterinary for exact dosage instructions depending on your pet's condition.
Transition Instructions:
- Mix increasing amounts of Z/D with decreasing amounts of the old food over 7 days.
