The Power of Chicken and Sweet Potato
Chicken is a lean, flavourful protein dogs love. It is gentle on digestion, packed with essential fats, and a great source of energy.

Together, they make a meal that is nourishing, balanced, and delicious.

So, you can feed your dog a meal that tastes amazing, supports their health, and keeps them happily wagging after every bowl.

What is hypoallergenic dog food
Food allergies are less common than many dog owners think, accounting for around 10% of all allergies in dogs, but they can still have a significant impact on your dog's comfort and quality of life. Symptoms such as itchy skin, recurring ear infections, vomiting and diarrhoea can often be linked to a reaction to certain ingredients in their diet.
If your dog is showing signs of a food allergy or intolerance, hypoallergenic dog food may help reduce these symptoms by avoiding common allergens and using ingredients that are easier to digest. This guide explains what hypoallergenic dog food is, how it differs from standard dog food, and the benefits it can offer.
What Is Hypoallergenic Dog Food?
Hypoallergenic dog food is specially made to reduce the chance of triggering a food allergy or intolerance. These recipes are typically made without common allergens such as wheat, dairy, soy, beef and artificial additives. Instead, they contain simple ingredient lists and highly digestible protein sources that are less likely to upset sensitive dogs.
Every dog is different, so there is no single recipe that suits them all. A food that works well for one dog may still cause problems for another, which is why it's important to identify the ingredient causing the reaction.
Food Allergy vs Food Intolerance
Food allergies and food intolerances are often confused because they can produce similar symptoms.
A food allergy involves the immune system reacting to a specific ingredient. A food intolerance affects the digestive system without involving the immune system. Both can lead to vomiting, diarrhoea or stomach discomfort, while food allergies are more likely to cause itchy skin, recurring ear infections, inflamed skin and excessive paw licking. These symptoms can also be linked to other health conditions, so always seek veterinary advice before changing your dog's diet.
Signs Your Dog May Need Hypoallergenic Dog Food
Dogs can develop food sensitivities at any stage of life, even after eating the same food for years. If your dog regularly experiences skin or digestive problems, it may be time to consider hypoallergenic dog food or another allergy dog food recommended by your vet.
Common Symptoms of Food Allergies
Signs that may indicate a food allergy include:
Persistent itching
Excessive paw licking
Red or inflamed skin
Recurring ear infections
Hair loss or a dull coat
Loose stools or diarrhoea
Vomiting
Excessive wind
These symptoms can also be linked to other health conditions, so always seek veterinary advice before changing your dog's diet.
Common Ingredients That Trigger Reactions
Some of the ingredients most commonly linked to food allergies include:
Beef
Chicken
Dairy
Wheat
Gluten
Soy
Although these ingredients are common triggers, any food can cause an allergic reaction if your dog's immune system recognises it as a threat. Identifying the exact ingredient is the best way to choose the right diet.
Benefits of Hypoallergenic Dog Food
For dogs with food sensitivities, switching to hypoallergenic dog food can make a noticeable difference to their comfort and wellbeing.
Potential benefits include:
Reduced itching and skin irritation.
Improved coat condition.
Better digestion with fewer episodes of diarrhoea, vomiting and excessive wind.
Highly digestible ingredients that are gentler on sensitive stomachs.
Simple recipes containing fewer common allergens.
Added vitamins, minerals and prebiotics to support general health and digestive function.
Many owners also find their dogs become more comfortable and settled once the ingredient causing the reaction has been removed from their diet.
How to Choose the Best Allergy Dog Food
Choosing the right allergy dog food starts with understanding what ingredients your dog can and cannot tolerate. Reading the ingredients list carefully and speaking with your vet can help you make the best choice.
What to Look For
When comparing hypoallergenic dog food, look for recipes that include:
A clearly named protein source, such as fish, duck or turkey.
A limited number of ingredients to make allergens easier to identify.
No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
Easily digestible carbohydrate sources, such as sweet potato or peas.
Prebiotics to help support healthy digestion.
Some dogs also benefit from single-protein recipes, particularly if your vet recommends an elimination diet. Feeding one protein source at a time makes it easier to identify which ingredients your dog can tolerate.
Grain-Free vs Hypoallergenic Dog Food
Although many hypoallergenic dog food recipes are grain-free, the two terms do not mean the same thing.
Grain-free food simply means it does not contain grains such as wheat or corn. It may still contain other ingredients that commonly trigger food allergies, including beef or dairy.
Hypoallergenic recipes are designed to reduce exposure to a wider range of common allergens while using ingredients that are easier for many dogs to digest. Reading the full ingredient list is the best way to understand what the food contains.
How to Switch Your Dog to Hypoallergenic Food
Changing your dog's diet should always be done gradually. Mixing increasing amounts of the new food with their current food over 7 to 14 days gives their digestive system time to adjust and helps reduce the risk of stomach upset.
If your vet suspects a food allergy, they may recommend an elimination diet lasting between 6 and 12 weeks. During this period, your dog should only eat the recommended food and approved treats so the results are not affected by other ingredients.
Keeping a simple food diary can also help you monitor improvements. Recording what your dog eats alongside any changes in their skin, digestion or behaviour can help identify patterns and support discussions with your vet.
In Conclusion: Is Hypoallergenic Dog Food Right for Your Dog?
In conclusion, hypoallergenic dog food can be a good choice for dogs with food allergies or intolerances. By reducing exposure to common allergens and using carefully selected ingredients, these diets may help improve skin health, support digestion and reduce ongoing discomfort. Taking time to identify the ingredient causing your dog's symptoms and introducing their new food gradually can help achieve the best results.

FAQs About Hypoallergenic Dog Food
Is hypoallergenic dog food suitable for every dog?
No. Hypoallergenic dog food is mainly intended for dogs with suspected food allergies or intolerances. Dogs without food sensitivities may not need a specialised diet.
Is grain-free dog food the same as hypoallergenic dog food?
No. Grain-free food removes grains from the recipe, while hypoallergenic dog food aims to reduce a wider range of common allergens that may trigger reactions.
How long does hypoallergenic dog food take to work?
Some dogs begin showing improvements within a few weeks. However, vets often recommend feeding the new diet for 6 to 12 weeks before assessing the results, particularly when carrying out an elimination diet.
Can puppies eat hypoallergenic dog food?
Yes, provided the food is nutritionally complete for puppies. Always choose a recipe that is suitable for your puppy's age and breed size.

Why do dogs chase their tails? The treatable conditions that drive dogs to distraction.
Understanding Why Dogs Chase Their Tails and How to Address it
Dogs chasing their tails is often perceived as a playful and amusing behavior. However, it is crucial to understand why dogs chase their tails and the potentially treatable conditions that might be encouraging this behavior. This understanding can prevent your dog from unnecessary distress and improve its quality of life.
Some dogs chase their tails because of boredom or as a form of play. Yet, in certain cases, constant tail-chasing can indicate underlying health conditions. Conditions such as dermatitis, fleas, or even allergies can cause itchiness around the tail, prompting dogs to chase and bite at their tails. Meanwhile, neurological conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder can manifest in repeated tail-chasing.
Identifying and understanding your pet’s behavior is, therefore, vital. If your dog is frequently chasing its tail, it might be time to consult with your vet. These conditions might be causing your pet discomfort but are treatable with proper veterinarian intervention. Times of tail-chasing could be turned into a more peaceful and comfortable life for your dog.
Dogs can’t talk and are only able to communicate through body language and barking, this can make deciphering their behaviours difficult. Do dogs chase their tails because they are Coo-coo bananas or because they have an underlying issue that is driving them nuts? There are many different conditions that can drive dog to chase its tail out of frustration these conditions are:
Parasites such as fleas or worms
Environmental and skin allergies
Hot spots and other secondary infections
Stress, boredom or confinement
Injury
Impacted anal glands.
(Disclaimer: this advice is intended only as a guide, for persistent or severe ailments please seek help from you vet)
Parasitic Infestations
Fleas and ticks are common in dogs, particularly in the summer time. The best way to deal with fleas is to prevent them in the first place, you can do this in a few ways but a good one is to treat your home with an anti-flea solution and also using anti flea solution on your dog.
Our Dyna-mite liquid is an all-natural solution that you dilute down and spray about the house and on your pet (Just spray where they can’t lick it off though). Being natural this product is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, it also smells very pleasant! It is a very cost effective way of preventing fleas as only a small amount is needed in water to be effective, spray regularly (particularly during summer) to achieve the best results. Additionally, our Dyna-Mite shampoo, which is also made of natural ingredients is great for giving your dog a natural defence against fleas, in summer use regularly to achieve best results.
Environmental and skin allergies.
We tend to think of dogs as being very resilient which though is often true, however there are things they struggle with the same as us and one of these things is allergies. Whether it be allergies to certain plants and trees or an allergic reaction to food dogs can feel itchy as a result of the reaction. Symptoms of allergies in dogs are: Hives, puffy face, itchiness, redness of skin, agitation/restlessness and feeling hot to the touch. If your dog displays these symptoms you may need to take them to the vet as there may be an issue with their diet or environment.
Our dog food healthy dog is a gluten free hypoallergenic dog food designed to suit dogs with allergies, if you would like to try Healthy dog food but don’t want to take the plunge and buy a whole bag you can request a free sample when you place an order for one of our products and we will be happy to send some out to you!
We also stock a product called Moor gold cream (otherwise known as magic!) this can be applied to areas of the skin that appear red or painful. It is an anti-infection cream that promotes healing in dogs made from all natural ingredients and will reduce the feeling of itchiness. This product can even be used on humans, and is very useful if you have a spot/pimple!
Hot spots and secondary infections.
A hot spot is an area on a dog’s body where repeated scratching or chewing leads to the creation of an open wound. Warmth and moisture are the optimal conditions for hot spots to form. Should stray bacteria find its way to the site before it is properly treated, a secondary infection is a typical result. Recognize a hot spot by the presence of blood, pus, and matted hair. If you notice your dog has an injury such as this, you will need to take them to the vets as it could become infected. If your puppy or dog is biting at the base of her tail so frequently that they draw blood, then secondary infections are not the root cause of her problem, only another symptom. A veterinarian can help you determine whether the true reason has to do with hygiene, nutrition, or another factor.
Stress boredom
Dogs don’t have bills to pay but the can still get stressed! Stress and boredom is one of the major reasons that dogs will bite their tails, whether they are jumpy because of noises, not getting enough exercise or being confined for too long. Dogs who do not get sufficient exercise, interactive play or mental stimulation may turn to self-destructive activities like tail biting as ways to get attention. It is important to address this issue as can make the dog act out in destructive ways, each breed is different and not all dogs will have the same needs you will need to research your dog’s own needs.
It is important to address the root cause of the issue however in cases where the dog may hurt itself due to stress our herbal mellow may be of use however it should NEVER be used as a substitute for exercise!
Injury
Any kind of rear or hindquarters injury such as a broken or fractured tail bone, for instance is something a dog cannot inform his owner of, and may go unnoticed under normal circumstances. The intensity of the dog’s pain may lead her to act on or draw attention to it by excessive chewing, biting, or licking at the affected area. Obviously this is a much more extreme case than the others however it is important to keep in mind.
Impacted Anal glands
Finally, another common reason why a dog may be biting at the base of her tail until it’s bleeding is an impacted anal gland. A dog’s anal glands are as important to a dog as our hands are to us, and, socially, they fill similar needs. Just as we shake hands when we meet folks, canine anal glands secrete interesting fluids that dogs smell when they meet each other. This is one reason why dogs are so intent on sniffing at each other’s rear ends at any opportunity.
One obvious sign that a dog is having an anal gland issue is scooting, when he sits up and drags his bum across the floor. Other symptoms include a fouler-than-normal smell originating from a dog’s behind, trouble defecating (you call it constipation), and, in severe cases, blood or pus in the faeces.
Our own Anal gland product is a supplement that adds fibre to your dog’s food allowing them for easier and more comfortable digestion, preventing the glands from becoming impacted.
