Is sensitive dog food the same as hypoallergenic dog food?
Not always! Sensitive dog food is typically formulated with easily digestible ingredients for dogs with sensitive tummies, while hypoallergenic diets are designed to manage specific food allergies. As any ingredient can be an allergen, what works best will depend on your dog's individual needs. Our recipes are formulated to exclude selected common allergens, but they're not veterinary hypoallergenic recipes or hydrolysed diets. Always check each recipe's ingredient list for your dog's specific needs, and speak to your vet if you suspect a food allergy.
Are Scrumbles dog treats hypoallergenic?
Our dog and puppy treats are made with sensitive tummies in mind, using carefully selected ingredients and free from common allergens like soy, gluten, eggs, dairy and red meat. Whether you're looking for dental sticks or tasty training treats, we've got plenty of tummy-friendly options your pooch will love!
Does my dog need hypoallergenic food?
Most dogs don’t! The majority of pooches can happily enjoy a varied, balanced diet. True food intolerances or sensitivities are very rare, but if your dog does react to certain ingredients, it’s best to choose a recipe that avoids those specific triggers, rather than relying only on the label “hypoallergenic.”
Is hypoallergenic dog food the same as grain-free?
No, they’re not the same. Hypoallergenic dog food (should) mean the recipe avoids common allergens (like soy, dairy, egg, or red meat), while grain-free dog food simply means it doesn’t contain grains. A recipe can be both, but grain-free doesn’t automatically make it hypoallergenic.
What is hypoallergenic dog food?
“Hypoallergenic” is a phrase we’re not huge fans of as it doesn’t have a set definition and is often used as more of a marketing slogan than a guarantee. What it’s generally meant to describe is dog food made without common triggers for sensitive tums. For us, that means avoiding gluten, soy, dairy, egg, and red meat. And for pups who need something extra gentle, we also offer single-source protein wet food to make digestion that little bit easier.
Why do you put ‘hypoallergenic’ in inverted commas?
Sharp eyes! We use inverted commas because technically, anything could trigger an allergy. There’s no one-size-fits-all "hypoallergenic dog food" or “hypoallergenic cat food.” Instead, it’s about carefully checking the ingredients to make sure your pet avoids what upsets their tummy.
