Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What exactly is in the hypoallergenic diet is somewhat dependent on which one you get. However, generally the idea is using a smaller protein that it is easier to digest. There is usually a good amount of antioxidants and vitamins as well. All in all these types of diets can help tremendously in patients with food allergies. There are many of them out there. My favorite is Royal canin's ultamino diet. Good luck and have a great day!
