Grain & Gluten Free Dog Food

Free from grains dog food​ contains alternative sources of carbohydrates, such as potatoes, but no cereals. Some dogs are sensitive or intolerant to grains, so it’s perfect for dogs with skin conditions or allergies. No-grain dog food is also great for low-energy, overweight, and pregnant dogs. It can also enhance a healthy coat, and lead to sweeter-smelling breath, less gas and smaller stools.

Many people believe that grain-free and gluten-free dog food are interchangeable. However, they are not the same thing. Gluten-free may still contain corn and rice, whereas grain-free dog food avoids these ingredients, too.

Gluten-free dog food is designed for dogs with sensitivities or allergies to gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye.

Gluten-free dog food typically utilises alternative carbohydrate sources such as rice, potatoes, or peas to provide energy and nutrition.

Dairy-free dog food is formulated without any dairy products / ingredients derived from milk, such as lactose, casein, whey, or cheese.

Dogs that may have dairy sensitivities, allergies, or intolerances would benefit from this food.

Dairy free dog food might not always be advertised as ‘dairy free’, but as part of the free-from dog food family, it could be that the food producer hasn’t included any dairy in the ingredients. So, if your dog has an intolerance or allergy – always check the ingredients label to be sure. We offer a few options of dairy free dog food, including Chappie Original Wet Dog Food or for a dry free from dog food take a look at Skinner’s Field & Trial Duck and Rice.

Grain-free diets are not universally recommended. Vets may recommend grain-free dog food in specific cases, but it depends on the dog's individual needs. If you suspect that your dog has a sensitivity, consult your vet.

Symptoms of food sensitivity in dogs can vary and may present in different ways, but keep an eye out for: 

• Diarrhoea
• Vomiting
• Excessive gas or bloating
• Itchy skin
• Red or inflamed skin
• Chronic ear infections
• Excessive licking (especially paws or legs)
• Poor coat condition (dry, flaky skin or dull fur)

There is also a wide range of other free from dog foods, such as gluten free, wheat free, and dairy free. Even if your dog has a sensitivity to meat, there are fish flavoured dog foods that are free from red meats and soya.

If your dog is sensitive to more than one ingredient, you may want to try a hypoallergenic dog food to fit your dog’s needs.
