Gluten-free dog food: The right choice for nutritionally sensitive furry friends

The diet of our four-legged friends has a significant impact on their health and well-being. It is therefore important to choose a high-quality food that meets the needs of your furry friend. If your dog cannot tolerate gluten, for example, you should choose a gluten-free dog food. We will tell you below what this means and how you can recognize a gluten intolerance in your four-legged friend.

What is gluten and which foods contain it?

Gluten is a type of protein found in certain types of grain. It is mainly found in wheat, rye, barley and spelt. The gluten protein ensures that the grain binds well with other ingredients. This is why it is often a component of dry dog ​​food.

However, there are now more and more dogs who suffer from gluten intolerance or have developed an allergy to grains containing gluten, such as wheat. These four-legged friends should definitely be fed gluten-free dog food. However, it does not necessarily have to be grain-free dog food, as there are also gluten-free grains. More on this later.

How to recognize gluten intolerance in dogs

If your furry friend shows the following symptoms, it could be a gluten intolerance:

  • itching
  • rash
  • Diarrhea
  • flatulence

If you notice these symptoms in your four-legged friend, you should definitely visit a veterinarian and have it checked out. After all, these are very non-specific signs that can also indicate other illnesses.

Carbohydrates in Gluten-Free Dog Food

Gluten-free dog food does not contain any grains that contain gluten. However, this does not mean that your dog has to avoid carbohydrates entirely. After all, there are many other sources of carbohydrates. For example, we at VEGDOG use gluten-free grains such as millet, oatmeal and rice. We also use potatoes, sweet potatoes and amaranth to provide your pet with the necessary carbohydrates and the corresponding energy. Please note that the carbohydrate sources of our individual varieties vary.

Gluten-free dog food for more health in the food bowl?

In general, gluten is not bad for dogs. The same applies to grains. The latter provide our four-legged friends with carbohydrates, which are an important source of energy. However, if your dog cannot tolerate gluten, you should remove it from his diet and switch to a gluten-free food. This can have a positive effect on the health and well-being of your four-legged companion.
