Dogs with allergies or intolerances

Due to biologically inappropriate ingredients that can be harmful to dogs, many dogs develop allergies or intolerance to one or more of them. These are ingredients, such as grain, wheat, and gluten, and if your dog reacts to any of them, he or she probably has a gluten intolerance.

Just like humans, dogs who are intolerant or allergic to these ingredients can experience huge pain and discomfort after consuming them. These discomforts might include:

• Upset stomach
• Vomiting
• Itchy and flaky skin
• Abdominal pain
• Intense gas
• Constipation or frequent diarrhoea
• Loss of appetite

Symptoms such as these could indicate the presence of intolerance or allergic conditions. This can have a huge impact on your dog’s well-being, and for that reason, our approach to animal nutrition is wholly centred on raw feeding and biologically appropriate raw food. This means animals eat what they were naturally designed to eat, which is predominantly natural, raw meat.

Are gluten-free, grain-free, and wheat-free treats needed?

At Nutriment, we only use high-quality, biologically appropriate ingredients without grain, wheat, or gluten. In fact, most of our dog treats only contain one ingredient: raw, high-quality meat, bones, or offal. Our full range contains natural ingredients with nutrients essential for optimal health. We pride ourselves on using high-quality, human-grade meat, fish, and offal without bulking agents or grains.

Although we highly recommend that all dogs should avoid gluten, grains, and wheat in their diet, some dogs are particularly sensitive and display signs of a serious intolerance or allergy.

If you suspect your dog has an intolerance or allergy to any element of the diet, like gluten, grain or wheat, you should discuss this with your vet. Tests can be done to determine if there is an allergy present and, if found, what that allergy is. Only an accurate diagnosis will ensure that all possible causes are being addressed. Our in-house canine nutritionists can also advise you on how to carry out an elimination diet.

Start your dog on grain- and gluten-free treats

It is highly important to ensure that your dog is kept safe from gluten, grain, and wheat in their food sources at all times if they have a food intolerance or allergy. And even if your dog is not allergic, it can be beneficial to choose a gluten-free diet as well.

If your dog has an allergy or shows marked symptoms of intolerance that seem to worsen with ingestion of grain or gluten foods, address the diet and the treats. If your dog is consuming multiple ingredients, including some of an artificial or inappropriate nature, it can be difficult to identify which ingredients are causing the unpleasant symptoms. In this case, switch to Nutriment’s treats, bones, chews, and diets, as they only feature natural, high-quality, and biologically appropriate ingredients.

Remember to always give simple diet instructions to anyone who may provide care to your dog. Be conscious of children, neighbours, friends, groomers, vets etc., who may occasionally like to give your dog a treat.
