Prescription Diet Derm Complete Dog Food
When you have a dog that is constantly itching and scratching, one of the most difficult things can be determining what is causing their allergic reaction. The majority of allergies are caused by irritants in the environment, such as fleas, pollen and even the dust in our homes.
Food allergies in dogs are very uncommon — in fact, only 10% of dogs with an allergy experience true food allergies! Rarely, however, some dogs may experience reactions to certain ingredients, and they are identified through food elimination trials conducted by your veterinarian.
Hill's Prescription Diet Derm Complete is the only clinically proven nutrition for both food and environmental allergies1. It helps address two primary causes of itching with:
- A breakthrough formula with bioactive and phytonutrients to help manage a dog’s response to environmental allergens
- Egg as the novel protein that avoids 96% of food allergies2
- Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids to help support healthy skin, which is a barrier against potential environmental allergens
Prescription Diet Derm Complete helps improve your dog's quality of life by alleviating the following signs:
- Painful scratch marks
- Poor sleep quality
- Extreme itchiness
- Low energy levels
- Tummy upset
How it works and how it helps
- Limited ingredient nutrition with single intact novel animal protein that helps strengthen skin barrier
- With Histaguard Complex, a proprietary complex of bioactives and phytonutrients which avoid adverse food reactions
- High levels of essential fatty acids that manage scratching and other signs associated with environmental allergies and promotes skin healing
After four years of research and 3 clinical studies, Derm Complete produced incredible results.
- Visible skin healing in as little as 21 days in dogs with food allergies3

- No dogs had recurrence of signs of dermatologic disease
