Dry food for allergy sufferers: 3 varieties with just one protein source

If a dog reacts sensitively to certain ingredients, every component in the bowl counts. A complete food with a shorter ingredient list and just one protein source makes it easier to narrow down triggers while still keeping your dog full and satisfied. This is exactly what our three allergy-friendly varieties are for: Lamb & Vegetables, Horse & Pomegranate and Pork & Vegetables.

All three recipes are grain-free and contain no artificial flavours, colourants or unnecessary additives. Lamb is considered mild and easily tolerated, horse is a lean meat with a lower allergy potential, and pork brings a third, equally clearly defined protein source to the range. This means a suitable starting point is available for a range of different sensitivities.

For an elimination diet, one of these varieties is usually fed exclusively over several weeks, always in consultation with our team. As each recipe contains only one meat source and one carbohydrate such as vegetables or pomegranate, it is easier to work out later which ingredient is well tolerated and which is not.

The kibble is evenly shaped and suits small to medium-sized dogs as well as larger breeds, with the feeding amount based on weight and activity level. If you would also like to give chews, it is best to choose the same protein source, for example lamb ears alongside the lamb dry food or horse tendons alongside the horse recipe.

All recipes are nutritionally complete, with a clear and simple ingredient list. This means a dog with a food allergy does not have to miss out on flavour and variety, while the nose and bowl stay reliably satisfied.

If you are unsure which of the three varieties is the best fit, always introduce the change gradually and watch your dog's skin, coat and digestion closely over the first few weeks. Typical signs of a food allergy, such as itching, sore paws or soft stools, may only start to improve after several weeks of consistent feeding. You can also offer matching chews from the same protein source, such as lamb ears alongside Lamb & Vegetables or horse tendons alongside the horse recipe, so as not to introduce an additional source of error during the trial period. In this way, a dry food suitable for allergy sufferers gradually becomes a reliable feeding plan for dogs with food allergies, one that can also be kept up as a permanent diet once the elimination diet itself is complete.

A fixed routine is worthwhile for daily feeding. Give the dry food at the same time and in the same amount wherever possible, as this makes it easier to link any changes in skin, coat or digestion to their cause. Store the bag well sealed in a cool, dry place so the kibble stays fresh and keeps its flavour.

When travelling or on holiday, stick with the usual variety too, so the elimination diet is not interrupted by unfamiliar food picked up along the way or given by a pet sitter. For longer trips, it is better to pack a little extra of the usual food rather than switching to a different variety at short notice.
