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.
Discover the gluten-free dog food from VEGDOG
Do you want to feed your dog a gluten-free diet? Then VEGDOG is the right place for you! All of our wet and dry food is gluten-free. But that's not all, our vegan dog food has many other advantages. It meets 100% of your needs and provides your four-legged friend with all the nutrients it needs. Thanks to our hypoallergenic recipe, our gluten-free food is particularly suitable for dogs with allergies and nutritionally sensitive four-legged friends.
Crispy & delicious: Our gluten-free dry food for dogs
For all furry friends who prefer dry food, we have two tasty varieties in our range. Firstly, the gluten-free dry dog food GREEN CRUNCH with sweet potatoes as a source of carbohydrates and secondly the variety FARMER'S CRUNCH with potatoes. Both types of food are plant-based and very well tolerated.
Juicy enjoyment without gluten with the VEGDOG wet food
Does your four-legged friend prefer wet food? No problem, we have that in our range too. You can choose between three gluten-free wet food varieties . These include ADULT lentils & millet and SENIOR peas & millet. Both varieties contain potatoes and millet as carbohydrate sources. The third variety is SENSITIVE lupin protein. This wet food contains amaranth and is suitable for dogs with particularly sensitive diets.
Gluten-free treats as a reward in between
If your dog cannot tolerate gluten, it is important to avoid gluten completely. This means that you should not only switch to gluten-free dog food, but also pay attention to the ingredients in the treats. At VEGDOG you will therefore also find a large selection of gluten-free dog snacks . Sweeten your furry friend's day with our delicious snacks!
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.
FAQ

Not necessarily. While gluten-free dog food does not contain any grains that contain gluten, grain-free dog food does not contain any grains. Gluten-free food, on the other hand, can contain grains such as millet, oatmeal and rice.
Feeding gluten-free dog food is a good idea if your dog is gluten intolerant or has digestive issues when eating foods that contain gluten. It can help promote your dog's health and well-being.
