Sensitive stomach dog food

Dog food for sensitive stomachs works best when it is simple and consistent. Our Just 6 recipes are made with only six key ingredients each, which makes it easier to spot what your dog gets on with. They are grain free and use one main meat or fish ingredient per recipe, with no wheat, soya, dairy, artificial colours or flavours. There is also our Superfoods range with grain free recipes in both dry and wet, supercharged with superfood blends, for dogs who simply do not get on with grains, plus carefully made hypoallergenic recipes within our core range. True food allergies are rare in dogs, affecting around 0.2% to 2% of them. Most cases are sensitivities rather than allergies, and they tend to settle when meals are predictable, ingredients are limited and any new food is introduced slowly over seven to 10 days.

FAQ

How can I tell if my dog has a sensitive stomach?

Common signs include loose stools, occasional vomiting, excess wind, an itchy coat or skin, or your dog being off their food. These signs can come and go and aren't always linked to food, so it's worth keeping a diary of what your dog eats and how they get on for a week or two. If symptoms are ongoing or severe, a chat with your vet can help rule out anything more serious.

What ingredients should I avoid in dog food for sensitive stomachs?

Rather than avoiding specific ingredients, it helps to try out limited-ingredient recipes. Our Just 6 recipes are made with only six ingredients, making it easier to identify what your dog gets on with. Common triggers can include certain proteins or grains, but every dog responds differently, so simplicity often beats trying to second-guess.

How long does it take for a new food to settle my dog's stomach?

We'd suggest introducing any new food gradually over seven to ten days, mixing it in with the old food and increasing the new food a little each day. Most dogs adjust within a couple of weeks, though sensitive stomachs sometimes need a bit longer. If things don't settle, a chat with your vet is worth having.

Is Just 6 suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs?

Just 6 are made with six simple ingredients in each recipe. They're grain-free and use one main meat or fish ingredient per recipe, which can make it easier to manage food sensitivities. We wouldn't promise it'll fix any specific issue, but the simpler ingredient list makes it a sensible place to start. As true food allergies in dogs are rare, most digestive issues are sensitivities rather than allergies, and simplicity often does the trick.
