Does your pet struggle with itchy skin, red bumps, or constant scratching?
These are often signs of allergies—a problem that may seem small but can lead to serious health issues if left untreated.
Allergies in pets can be triggered by many things: pollution, bacteria, unfavorable environments, or even food. But among all causes, diet-related allergies are surprisingly common.
Why Would Food Cause Allergies?
It’s not always about the type of meat. In many cases, allergies are caused by large protein molecules that your pet’s immune system mistakenly sees as a threat.
That’s where hydrolyzed protein comes in.
What Is Hydrolyzed Protein?
Hydrolyzed protein is protein that has been broken down into smaller, more digestible molecules through a process called hydrolysis. This makes it much easier for your pet’s body to absorb the nutrients—without triggering an allergic reaction.
You may have seen hydrolyzed protein in fitness supplements or baby formulas. The reason is simple: smaller protein molecules = better absorption + less strain on digestion. And the same applies to dogs and cats.
Why Is This Important for Pets?
Pets have short intestines and a fast digestive system. When they eat food with large, unprocessed protein molecules, it puts stress on their digestive tract. In some cases, their bodies can’t recognize or break down the protein properly, which can lead to:
- Inflammation
- Loose stools
- Skin irritation
- Chronic itching
- Food-related allergies
Hydrolyzed protein eliminates that burden by giving them pre-broken-down protein—gentle on the gut, but powerful in nutrition.
The Real Benefits:
- Reduces risk of food-related allergies
- Supports easy digestion and nutrient absorption
- Delivers high-quality protein without immune irritation
- Ideal for pets with sensitive skin, tummy issues, or a history of allergies
Bottom Line: Feed with Intention!
Hydrolyzed protein isn’t just trendy science—it’s a smarter choice for pets with sensitivities. It’s the foundation of many functional pet food formulas like Real Power, designed to help pets thrive from the inside out.
