Product Information

Full details

Dechra Specific FOD-HY Cat Allergy Management Plus is designed for cats suffering from complex food sensitivities and concurrent skin conditions. By utilizing a highly specialized, hypoallergenic formula, this diet helps stabilize feline digestive and dermatological health; however, it requires strict adherence to a single-source diet, as even small amounts of non-prescribed food can trigger reactions.

FAQs

Does my cat need a prescription for this food?

Yes, Dechra Specific FOD-HY is a therapeutic dietetic formula and should only be used under the direct supervision and recommendation of a veterinarian.

Can I give treats while on this diet?

Only if the treats are specifically approved by your veterinarian as part of the hypoallergenic protocol, otherwise you risk triggering an allergic reaction.

How long should my cat remain on this diet?

The duration depends on your cat's specific health needs; follow your veterinarian's guidance on whether it is a temporary elimination diet or a long-term solution.

What protein sources are used in this formula?

The formula uses hydrolyzed protein, which is broken down into tiny components that the immune system is less likely to recognize as allergens.

Can kittens eat this formula?

Consult your veterinarian regarding the life stage appropriateness of this diet, as it is primarily formulated for clinical management of adult cats with sensitivities.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to eat the new food

Try warming the kibble slightly or mixing in a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma during the transition period.

Symptoms persist after 8 weeks

Consult your veterinarian to ensure there are no secondary infections (like yeast) or hidden sources of allergens in the environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces the risk of adverse food reactions
  • Supports skin barrier function
  • High-quality hydrolyzed protein sources
  • Highly palatable formula for picky eaters

Cons

  • Requires veterinary diagnosis before use
  • Higher cost compared to standard commercial diets
  • Must be strictly fed to avoid cross-contamination
  • Not intended for cats without specific food sensitivities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Transitioning to this diet should be done gradually over 7 to 10 days by slowly mixing the new kibble with the old to prevent digestive upset. When storing, keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the omega-3 fatty acids and prevent oxidation. If you are feeding multiple cats in the household, it is highly recommended to feed the cat on the FOD-HY diet in a separate area to prevent them from stealing non-hypoallergenic food. Always provide constant access to fresh, clean water, as the concentrated nutrient profile requires adequate hydration.
