4961.0. "Good News for Cats with Food Allergies" by WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO (set home/cat_max=infinity) Tue Sep 24 1991 21:27

    The following article was in this month's CFA Alamanac:
    (reprinted without permission)
    
    A canned hypoallergenic formula especially for cats--Prescription Diet
    Feline d/d brand dietary pet food--has just been announced by Hill's
    Pet Products, the internationally known producers of foods formulated
    for ailing and healthy dogs and cats.  The Prescription Diet Canine d/d
    brand is also being reformulated and will be available later this year.
    
    The new product is considered ideal for allergy-prone cats, providing
    an alternative to homemade formulas, commercially available pet foods
    with lamb and rice in the ingredients, or lamb baby foods.  Besides
    offering novel sources of nutrients, the food is free of additives, and
    is economical, convenient and highly palatable.  With complete and
    balanced nutrition in a fixed formulation, it can be used for long-term
    maintenance of the adult cat.  It reflects recent scientific findings,
    offering appropriate magnesium and taurine, and a formulation which
    allows the cat's body to produce acid urine.
    
    For more information about the new product, veterinarians may contact
    their Hill's professional service representative, or the Hill's
    distributor; or call Hill's toll-free at 1-800-548-8387.
