Food Sensitivity Pet Food in Alberta: What This Category Covers

Food sensitivity, sometimes labelled hypoallergenic or limited ingredient, is a category built around pets that react poorly to certain proteins or ingredients. It is one of the most guidance-dependent categories on the storefront.

What this category includes

These formulas are complete diets that use novel or hydrolyzed proteins and simpler ingredient lists to reduce common triggers. They come in dog and cat versions, in dry and wet options.

Who it is generally aimed at

Pets whose vet is investigating or managing a food-related reaction. Because identifying a true sensitivity is a diagnostic process, please involve your veterinarian before choosing a formula from this category.

Do I need a prescription for food sensitivity food?

No. Pet food is not a controlled product in Canada, even when it sits in a specialty category. You can browse the food sensitivity section of the food storefront and check out just like any other online order, with no faxed script and no waiting.

That said, therapeutic categories exist for a reason. If your vet has raised a specific health concern, please make the formula choice with them, not from a search result.
