Dry food selections with S+OX shield for dog with several allergies

[donetta]

Greetings friends! I’m having a super hard time and would love to know if anyone else is in my same or similar situation and what you feed your dog child.
I have an 8 year old 15 pounder who is allergic to chicken, sweet potato, pea protein and red lentils.
Recently he’s been getting very bad UTIs and my vet put him on Hills d/d wet food. Currently that’s $70 for 12 days of food and I’m looking for something more affordable as well as it being a dry food because we travel. It’s so hard to find food for him because of his allergies, so my vet said to find dry food with S+OX Shield; hydrolized chicken might be ok since it’s hydrolized but I’d love to know if anyone knows of something completely without his allergens.
Thank you if anyone has any suggestions!!

This means prescription only food. Hills has the largest line of anti-crystal diets. Royal Canin is second. Purina is the cheapest prescription line, but has the fewest anti-crystal options.

hydrolized chicken might be ok since it’s hydrolized

Hills hydrolyzed diets are not shielded. Royal Canin HP small dog, Royal Canin urinary SO+HP, and Blue HF are all hydrolyzed and shielded for anti-crystal.

@brennanskates I’m so sorry for the delay! I didn’t get a reply notification so I just assumed no one commented. Thank you so much for this info! I found that Hills z/d is shielded but used hydrolyzed chicken. We are giving it a shot (he’s allergic to poultry) and so far it’s been a good transition. Thank God! This has been a crazy and expensive month!! Thanks again, and sorry again!

@donetta If you are in the US, you can get this at PetSmart, it doesn't appear to be available on Chewy.

@hemispheres Thanks for this! I’m so sorry for the delay! I never got a reply notification so I just assumed no one commented. We are trying out Hills z/d right now , hopefully he can stay on that. It’s hydrolyzed chicken so hopefully he can continue tolerate it since he is allergic to poultry. I’m a little reluctant on the one from RC you shared because of the chicken fat. But thanks so much for taking the time to look for something for me! I really appreciate it!
