• Can Going Grain Free Help My Dog?

  Dogs that suffer from conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, skin diseases, allergies, wind, constipation, diarrhoea, lack of appetite, lack of energy and many chronic health complaints may may be helped by cutting out grains. As it can make your pet feel better and healthier it can also assist with weight loss as they will be more able and willing to run around and exercise.

  There is also a growing amount of research to suggest that dogs with sensitive digestions can do well on a grain free diet. Once your vet has ruled out any medical complaint that requires treatment, following a grain free diet may, over a few weeks, make improvements to your dog’s overall state of health – especially to their digestion.

• What is the Difference Between Working Dog Food and Normal Dog Food?

  The difference between working dog food and normal dog food is often just that working dog food is VAT free. There can also be differences in the feeding guides for the amount of food you should give a pet due to the activity and energy that is used during a working dogs day. 15KG bags can often be labelled as ‘working dog food’ for VAT purposes and not for their nutritional benefits.

• What is the difference Between Gluten free and Grain free Dog food?

  Grain free dog food arrived from the gluten-free trend in human food. Many believe like humans grain can cause allergies for dogs however the evidence for this is small. The difference between gluten-free and grain-free pet foods is that gluten is the protein that is found in specific types of grain, such as wheat, barley and rye.

  Gluten free food is free of these proteins but not all grain contain gluten. This means that gluten free dog food may or may not be grain free, while grain free dog food will always be gluten free.

• Is Grain free dog food better for weight loss?

  Although some dogs are more prone to putting on weight than others, weight gain is only possible when the number of calories going in is greater than the amount being used by the dog. Therefore, to stop weight gain, or achieve weight loss, your dog has two options: to eat fewer calories or to burn more – or ideally, both.

  We offer a range of grain free dog foods specifically designed for lighter diets or for senior dogs who may not be so active as they used to which means keeping weight off can be difficult for them. We also supply feeding guides to help ensure your pet is fed the recommended daily amount.
