Virbac Dog Hypoallergy With Hydrolysed Fish Protein 3Kg

Virbac HPM — Dog Hypoallergy With Hydrolysed Fish Protein | 3kg | Veterinary Clinical Dry Dog Food

The gold standard for canine food allergy management. Virbac HPM Dog Hypoallergy With Hydrolysed Fish Protein is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry dog food formulated using hydrolysed fish protein — the most scientifically validated approach to eliminating food allergy reactions in dogs. Hydrolysis is the process of breaking protein molecules into fragments so small that the immune system can no longer recognize and react to them — eliminating the allergenic trigger at the molecular level rather than simply avoiding common allergens. This is not a "grain-free" or "limited ingredient" commercial food — it is a genuine clinical hypoallergenic diet, developed by Virbac's veterinary nutritionists and validated through clinical research, for dogs with confirmed or suspected food allergies and food intolerances. For dogs who have failed standard elimination diets, who react to multiple protein sources, or who require the most rigorous hypoallergenic formulation available — Virbac HPM Hypoallergy is the clinical answer. 3kg of veterinary-grade hypoallergenic nutrition — the diet that eliminates the reaction at its source.

Why Virbac HPM Dog Hypoallergy Hydrolysed Fish Protein Is The Best Choice

• Hydrolysed Fish Protein — The Gold Standard — Protein hydrolysis breaks fish protein into peptide fragments below the molecular weight threshold that triggers immune recognition — eliminating the allergenic response at the molecular level.
• True Hypoallergenic Formulation — Not a "limited ingredient" or "grain-free" commercial food — a genuine veterinary clinical hypoallergenic diet formulated to the most rigorous hypoallergenic standards.
• Fish as the Hydrolysed Protein Source — Fish is selected as the hydrolysis substrate for its high digestibility, complete amino acid profile, and status as a novel protein for most dogs who have been fed chicken or beef-based diets.
• Elimination Diet Standard — Suitable for use as the elimination diet in food allergy diagnosis protocols — the clinical standard for identifying food allergy triggers.
• Long-Term Management Diet — Suitable for long-term feeding as the primary diet for dogs with confirmed food allergies — providing complete and balanced nutrition without allergenic triggers.
• Virbac HPM — Veterinary Expertise — From one of the world's leading animal health companies — the same scientific rigor applied to Virbac's pharmaceutical products, applied to clinical nutrition.
• Complete & Balanced — Provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs — all essential nutrients in appropriate proportions despite the clinical formulation.
• Addresses Multiple Allergy Manifestations — Suitable for food allergy presenting as skin conditions (atopic dermatitis, pruritus), gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting), or both.
• 3kg Clinical Pack — A practical clinical diet size for ongoing management.

Product Details & Features

Understanding Canine Food Allergy — The Problem This Diet Solves Food allergy in dogs is an immune-mediated adverse reaction to one or more dietary proteins — the immune system incorrectly identifies a food protein as a threat and mounts an inflammatory response. Understanding the mechanism explains why hydrolysed protein is the most effective solution:

How food allergy develops:

1. Sensitization — The dog is repeatedly exposed to a dietary protein (most commonly chicken, beef, dairy, wheat, or egg)
2. Immune recognition — The immune system produces IgE antibodies specific to that protein
3. Reaction — On subsequent exposure, the protein binds to IgE antibodies on mast cells — triggering the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators
4. Symptoms — The inflammatory response produces the clinical signs of food allergy

Common food allergy symptoms in dogs:

• Skin — Pruritus (itching), erythema (redness), papules, alopecia (hair loss), recurrent ear infections, paw licking and chewing
• Gastrointestinal — Chronic diarrhea, vomiting, flatulence, increased bowel movement frequency
• Combined — Many dogs present with both skin and gastrointestinal symptoms simultaneously

Why standard elimination diets often fail: Standard "limited ingredient" or "novel protein" commercial diets frequently fail to resolve food allergy because:

• Cross-contamination during manufacturing introduces trace amounts of common allergens
• The "novel" protein may not be truly novel for the individual dog
• Intact proteins — even from novel sources — can still trigger immune recognition in sensitized dogs

Why Hydrolysed Protein Is the Gold Standard Hydrolysis is the process of breaking protein molecules into smaller fragments (peptides) using enzymes or acid — and it is the most scientifically validated approach to eliminating food allergy reactions:

The molecular weight threshold: The immune system recognizes proteins based on their three-dimensional structure and molecular weight. Research has established that protein fragments below approximately 10,000 Daltons (10 kDa) are generally too small for the immune system to recognize as allergens — they cannot bind to IgE antibodies and cannot trigger mast cell degranulation.

How hydrolysis eliminates the allergenic response:

1. Fish protein is enzymatically hydrolysed — Specific proteolytic enzymes cleave the fish protein at precise peptide bonds
2. Protein fragments are reduced below 10 kDa — The resulting peptides are too small for immune recognition
3. The immune system cannot react — Without intact protein epitopes to bind to, IgE antibodies cannot trigger the allergic cascade
4. No allergic reaction — The dog receives complete amino acid nutrition from the hydrolysed protein without triggering the immune response

Why fish is the ideal hydrolysis substrate:

Novel protein status: The majority of dogs with food allergies have been sensitized to chicken, beef, dairy, or wheat — the proteins that appear most frequently in commercial dog food. Fish is a genuinely novel protein for most dogs — reducing the risk that the dog has pre-existing sensitization to the hydrolysis substrate.

High digestibility: Fish protein has a high digestibility coefficient — maximizing amino acid absorption even in dogs with compromised gastrointestinal function secondary to food allergy.

Complete amino acid profile: Fish provides all essential amino acids in proportions that support canine health — ensuring complete nutrition from the hydrolysed protein source.

Omega-3 fatty acids: Fish-derived ingredients provide natural Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) — which have specific clinical relevance for food allergy management:

• Anti-inflammatory — EPA directly reduces the inflammatory processes that drive allergic skin reactions and gastrointestinal inflammation
• Skin barrier support — DHA supports skin cell membrane integrity — strengthening the skin barrier that is compromised in allergic dogs
• Itch reduction — The anti-inflammatory effect of Omega-3 reduces pruritus — one of the most distressing symptoms of food allergy

The Clinical Applications

Food allergy diagnosis — Elimination diet protocol: The gold standard for diagnosing food allergy in dogs is the elimination diet trial — feeding a single, strictly controlled hypoallergenic diet for 8–12 weeks while monitoring for symptom resolution. Virbac HPM Hypoallergy is suitable for use as the elimination diet in this protocol:

• The hydrolysed fish protein eliminates the risk of cross-reactivity with common allergens
• The strict formulation ensures no hidden allergens that could confound the diagnostic trial
• If symptoms resolve during the elimination trial, food allergy is confirmed

Long-term food allergy management: For dogs with confirmed food allergies, Virbac HPM Hypoallergy provides a complete, balanced long-term diet that:

• Eliminates the allergenic triggers permanently
• Provides complete nutrition without compromise
• Supports skin barrier health through Omega-3 fatty acids
• Maintains digestive health through highly digestible ingredients

Concurrent skin and gastrointestinal allergy: Many dogs with food allergy present with both skin and gastrointestinal symptoms — the Hypoallergy formula addresses both simultaneously through the hydrolysed protein (eliminating the immune trigger) and the highly digestible formulation (supporting gastrointestinal recovery).

Distinguishing Food Allergy from Food Intolerance Food allergy (immune-mediated) and food intolerance (non-immune-mediated) are distinct conditions that both respond to the Hypoallergy diet:

Both conditions respond to the hydrolysed protein approach — making the Hypoallergy formula effective for the full spectrum of adverse food reactions.

Important Clinical Note Dogs with suspected food allergy should be evaluated by a veterinarian before starting an elimination diet trial. A veterinary diagnosis:

• Confirms food allergy vs. environmental allergy (which requires different management)
• Establishes the baseline for monitoring treatment response
• Ensures the correct clinical diet is selected
• Rules out other conditions that may mimic food allergy

During an elimination diet trial, no other foods, treats, or flavored medications should be given — any additional protein source can invalidate the trial.
