Should I feed my dog a grain free diet?

Every dog is different and there are many benefits to having grains, such as rice, in a dog’s diet. Having said this, if a dog has an allergy or intolerance to grains such as wheat, barley and rice then a grain free food may be worth considering.
Finding a dog food that a dog with allergies can thrive on can be tricky. This is why we formulated a diet using a grain free recipe that doesn’t compromise on nutritional quality.

Is Sweet Potato good for my dog?
Many consider this simple ingredient a ‘super food’… but did you know it is a highly beneficial ingredient for dogs who cannot have grain?
Here are some reasons why we include it in our Grain Free Chicken & Sweet Potato dog food:
- Source of fibre to support healthy digestion.
- Source of beta-carotene which has antioxidant properties and is a precursor for vitamin A (vitamin A is an essential vitamin for healthy vision, coat and skin, as well as immune function).
- Source of essential minerals including potassium (important for nerve impulses) and calcium (to support healthy bones and teeth).
- Source of important vitamins including A and K, as well as a number of B vitamins.
