Virbac Vet – Hypoallergy (A2) - Cat

Virbac Veterinary HPM Hypoallergy Cat – Complete Dietetic Dry Food with Hydrolysed Fish Protein (3kg)

Virbac Veterinary HPM Hypoallergy Cat is a complete dietetic dry food formulated for adult cats requiring the reduction of ingredient and nutrient intolerances . This elimination diet is designed to manage adverse food reactions (AFR) manifesting as dermatological (skin/coat) and/or gastrointestinal signs . It features a limited-ingredient formula based on extensively hydrolysed fish protein and a single, purified carbohydrate source to minimize the risk of allergic reactions .

Key Benefits

• Elimination Diet – The formula is based on hydrolysed fish protein (salmon) and tapioca (purified manioc starch), allowing for effective management of the most common food allergies . Using a single source of purified carbohydrate excludes the protein part of the ingredient, further reducing the risk of an adverse reaction .

• Extensively Hydrolysed Protein – The fish protein is hydrolysed to achieve a low molecular weight (mean 1.78 kDa, with 98% of peptides below 10 kDa) , ensuring the diet is suitable for food allergy management . This high level of hydrolysis means the protein is broken down into very small peptides that are less likely to be recognized by the immune system.

• High Digestive Tolerance – Contains a specific association of ingredients, including bentonite clay (5 g/kg), probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus), prebiotics (FOS), and selected fibres, to support and secure digestive function which can often be compromised in allergic cats .

• High Palatability – Rich in animal protein and fat, this formula guarantees high palatability to ensure optimal compliance, whether during an elimination food trial or for long-term feeding .

• Skin & Coat Support – Balanced omega-6 (3%) and omega-3 (0.7%) fatty acids help reinforce natural skin defences, reduce the risk of other allergies, and help maintain a healthy, shiny coat .

• Urinary Health – Formulated with a balanced mineral content and adapted urinary pH to help limit the risk of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) during long-term feeding .

• No Artificial Additives – Contains no artificial colours or flavours .
