Evaluation of a New Hydrolyzed Salmon-Based Diet in Dogs With Suspected Cutaneous Adverse Food Reaction: A Multi-Center Randomized Triple-Blinded Clinical Trial

This multi-center, randomized, blinded, crossover study evaluated the effects of feeding BLUE NVD HF canine dry diet, compared with Royal Canin Ultamino dry diet, in 47 dogs with clinical signs of cutaneous adverse food reaction. After 8 weeks of feeding each diet, the veterinary dermatologist-rated CADESI skin lesion score significantly decreased only with HF, and fewer dogs had adverse events during the feeding period with HF. These results confirm the utility of HF in the management of dogs with dermatologic signs of food allergy.
