High protein dog food isn't necessarily good for allergies, but it all depends on what their allergy is. High protein dog foods are often high meat and filler free, meaning it could reduce the risk of triggering a reaction. Plus, if you focus on novel proteins, like Wild Boar, Venison, or Salmon, it could be a good option for those prone to allergies. But if your dog's been diagnosed with a food allergy, perhaps a Hypoallergenic recipe would be better - they're specifically formulated to support allergies, the symptoms they bring, and reduce the risk of triggers.
Yes, high protein dog food can be good for weight loss, especially when focusing on complete and balanced recipes and their calorie intake. Not only does high protein dog food help keep them feeling satiated for longer, but it also protects their muscle mass as they lose weight and even helps them burn calories.
High protein dog food can also be good for getting underweight dogs back on track. Paired with higher calorie recipes, it can help repair and restore muscle mass and provide a healthier and more controlled way to get them to an ideal weight.
No. High protein and high meat dog food recipes causing hyperactivity is a common misconception. Whilst high protein dog food fuels their energy, it doesn't correlate with increased hyperactivity. If you've noticed more hyperactive behaviour in your dog, be sure to take into consideration their age, their activity levels, their environment, or any pre-existing medical conditions.
Including lean proteins in your pooch’s diet, and making sure their meals contain protein as a main ingredient, is vital to ensuring good physical and mental health. High protein dog foods that are usually higher in meat or fish content are also particularly beneficial for dogs with muscle development conditions, working dogs who use a lot of energy each day, senior dogs, or pooches with injuries or illnesses. Note - a dog with kidney dysfunction may need low protein food. Ask your vet if you’re not sure which would be best for your particular pooch.
We often advise a moderate to high protein diet for senior dogs as it can help prevent any muscle loss and provides essential amino acids needed for the immune system, organs, and tissue repair. However, senior dogs can be prone to medical conditions which may make a high protein diet unsuitable, like kidney disease, liver disease, or chronic pancreatitis.
Single-protein dog food refers to food that only has one main source of meat or protein. Single-protein (or mono-protein) food for your dog helps to keep recipes simple, making it a great option for those with more sensitive stomachs. Plus, it makes tracking their daily nutrition and diet, as well as looking out for common meat allergies, much easier, as they're only exposed to one protein at a time.
Tap into their carnivorous nature with our collection of high protein Treats, Chews, Toppers, and Dry food.
Championing a high meat content, our range is balanced with nutritious superfoods like Pumpkin, Yucca, and Cranberry, as well as plenty of pre- and postbiotics to help keep their gut health in tip-top condition.
With rich proteins like Wild Boar, Venison, and Beef, as well as Turkey, Cod, Salmon, Chicken, and Lamb for something a little more gentle, you can easily pack protein into their diet and pique the interest of even your fussiest pooch.
There are plenty of benefits that come with high protein dog food. Every dog needs protein, but a high protein, high meat diet is brimming with essential amino acids that help target muscle repair, maintenance and recovery.
High levels of protein can also boost their skin & coat, helping to keep their coat long & glossy, and their skin smooth & resilient. For dogs who are constantly burning energy, like highly active dogs or working dogs, protein can also act as metabolic fuel (alongside fat and carbs) that keeps them energised, whilst staying healthy.
High protein diets for dogs can also assist with their weight management, especially when part of a complete & balanced diet. The pairing of protein and portion control helps keep them full and satisfied, preventing them from begging for additional treats (and making puppy dog eyes at the edge of your dinner plate).
Most dogs can benefit from high protein food and treats. But when taking into account all its benefits, high protein dog food can be ideal for:
High energy dogs - Dogs that can always be found on hikes and long walks where it takes a lot to tire them out.
Working dogs - Like dogs that live and work on farms, for example.
Large breed, growing puppies - Puppies burn buckets of energy as they play, develop, and grow, and protein can help support this.
Pregnant dogs - To support their growing puppies and milk production.
Underweight dogs - Helping them to rebuild muscle mass and put on weight in the healthiest way possible (without just relying on fat and increased portion sizes).
However, not all dogs will be suited to a high protein diet. Dogs with pre-existing conditions like kidney disease, liver disease, and chronic pancreatitis should avoid high protein diets as they may trigger flare-ups and worsen symptoms.
These require specialised diets that will help them manage symptoms and feel their best.
Protein is essential for a dog's everyday diet and is a key component of a complete and balanced meal. On average, a dog needs at least 18% protein on a dry matter basis.
This just means that, when it comes down to their food's nutrient content, it should contain at least 18% protein, not taking into account moisture (water content). The healthy average can differ between dogs, being higher or lower depending on their needs and medical history.
When assessing whether a dog food is high protein, we tend to look at not just its ingredients and composition, but its nutritional contents.
The average, healthy amount of protein needed in your dog's everyday diet is 18%, so dog food with anything higher than that is considered high protein. This typically stems from a high meat content, where the percentage of meat in the recipe is anywhere between 60 and 80%.
