Allergies to gluten proteins found in some cereal grains cause damage to the small intestine and impair their ability to effectively absorb nutrients. Gluten allergies are rare – both in humans and dogs. A small percentage of people have celiac disease (an immune reaction/allergy to eating gluten). Studies show that less than 1% of dogs have a true sensitivity to grain. In dogs, this sensitivity is called gluten-sensitive enteropathy. 

Cutting out the grains may help dogs who suffer from conditions such as allergies, skin diseases, constipation, diarrhoea and many chronic health complaints and studies do suggest that dogs with sensitive digestions can do well on a grain-free diet.

Once your vet has ruled out any medical complaint that requires treatment, following a grain-free diet may make improvements in your dog's digestion, however, unless your dog has been diagnosed with a medical condition that requires a gluten-free or grain-free diet, the choice to feed your dog a diet free of both is a decision based on preferences.

If you feel that this would be an option for your dog, you’ll find that there are a number of quality gluten-free and grain-free products available. Many of our treats are gluten and grain-free.

Ears All our ears range are completely natural and free from artificial preservatives, they are full of essential vitamins and minerals as well as being grain and gluten-free.

Not only that the action of chewing creates saliva, therefore, flushing away bacteria that creates plaque, keeping the teeth nice and clean.
