What is hydrolysed pig liver in dog food?
It is pig liver that has been broken down by enzymes into smaller protein fragments. This process changes how the protein behaves in the body and can make it less recognisable to the immune system.
Is hydrolysed pig liver suitable for dogs with food sensitivities?
Hydrolysed proteins are commonly used in sensitive or elimination diets because the fragments may be less likely to trigger a reaction. Speak to your vet before using such diets for a dog with known allergies.
