What are the benefits of Grain-Free?

Sensitivities and Intolerances

If a dog suffers from sensitivities or intolerances, it can become frustrating for them, and it may be hugely beneficial to put them on a grain-free diet. A key reason for this is because some dogs suffer from sensitivities from grains that can cause symptoms such as skin irritation or rashes, vomiting and skin shedding.

Improved skin and coat condition

A grain-free diet can be helpful for the condition of a dog’s skin and coat. As high-quality grain-free foods generally tend to have higher inclusions of animal ingredients, such as freshly prepared meats, this means there is often an increased level of naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids, especially in foods that contain fish. Omega-3 fatty acids are very important fats that mammals must get from their diets. They contribute to health and wellbeing and support the healthy skin and coat of not only dogs but humans as well.

Reduced Wind

Gas in dogs could be a sign of a digestive health issue. Grains such as wheat and corn can sometimes cause dogs to produce frequent quantities of gas which can lead to the dog feeling discomfort in their stomachs. Grain-Free pet food can help to produce less gas because they contain prebiotics such as MOS, FOS and fibre, which help to produce good bacteria in a dog’s gut

Healthy Digestive System

Going back to a dog’s ancestors, the wolves. They would hunt for their food in the wild and feed on protein-rich meals. As dogs have evolved from carnivores, their digestive system can struggle to digest food with grains and find it easier with fewer carbohydrates. Grain-Free pet food generally has a higher meat and protein content than a grain included diet which allows them to digest the food better, especially diets containing freshly prepared protein sources that have a high digestibility.
