Response Formula is designed to aid in the nutritional management of skin and coat health in several ways. First is through fatty acids. Specific types, called omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, are important. Response FP has an adjusted balance of these two fatty acid types.
Second, Response Formula includes alternate protein and carbohydrate sources, which can be important if your veterinarian suspects that your pet's skin condition may have a food sensitivity component. Response FP, for example, contains protein from fish and carbohydrates from potatoes.
And the dry formula has micro-cleansing crystals to help reduce tartar buildup across the whole mouth during and after meals.
