Duck with Sweet Potato & Orange | Hypoallergenic Dry Dog Food | Grain Free by Pet Connection

Comprising a selection of the finest freshly prepared ingredients from nutritious and highly digestible animal protein sources, Pet Connection's Grain Free Adult Dog Food with Duck, Sweet Potato & Orange is ideal for adult dogs of all sizes, with a crunchy kibble texture and an optimal kibble size and shape for adult dogs to savour.

The veterinary approved formula is natural, complete and balanced, ideal for dogs with sensitive stomachs and those requiring a hypoallergenic diet.

Formulated with sweet potato, a complex carbohydrate rich in B vitamins, and potato, rather than the grains typically found in dog foods, the food is perfect for dogs who suffer from sensitivities or allergies to grains such as wheat.

Each 12kg bag contains 8.8kg of duck, meaning that the percentage of animal protein relative to the total protein contained is a high 82%.

Responsibly sourced and highly digestible, Duck is the key protein source contained within the food, ensuring a reliable source of essential amino acids. Orange is included for the provision of vitamin C, an antioxidant which can help to support the immune system. Omega 3 is added to boost cognitive and visual development as an excellent source of EPA and DHA. Naturally preserved using rosemary extract, the food is free from artificial colours and preservatives.

For dogs with sensitivities, intolerances and allergies, it is important to ensure that any treats used do not contain the trigger food. Ideal treats for these dogs may include natural chews from the Natural Connection range, such as those containing novel proteins like Lamb Trachea.

Symptoms of food allergies and intolerances in dogs can encompass anything from chronic ear infections, gastrointestinal issues and chronic diarrhoea to constant licking of the feet, tear stains, chronic gas and itching. Acute symptoms should always be seen by a veterinary professional to ensure they can be treated appropriately. Some vets will recommend allergy testing, others will recommend an exclusion diet, during which the dog should be trialled on multiple different diets, including wheat gluten free, grain free, chicken free, etc. in an attempt to discover the trigger. While medication may be administered to treat the symptoms of an allergy, it is important to discover the root cause to prevent ongoing suffering caused by exposure to the allergen.
