Alpha dog food
Alpha is a UK dry dog food brand covering working, sensitive and puppy formulas, built around named meat proteins rather than vague meat meals. We stock a selection from the range, and this page covers what actually sits behind the recipe names rather than the marketing copy on the bag.
How the range is put together
Alpha's working and sporting formulas are built with a higher protein and fat content aimed at genuinely active dogs, while the sensitive formulas use a more limited set of ingredients, such as a single named protein like chicken or duck alongside rice, aimed at dogs whose stomachs react to more complex recipes.
The puppy range follows the same approach: a single named protein, formulated for growth rather than adult maintenance. Across the range, the ingredients lists tend to lead with a specific named meat rather than an unspecified meat meal, which is generally a sign of a more transparent recipe.
What we stock, and who it suits
Our range includes Alpha's working dog, sensitive dog and puppy dry food recipes. We stock a selection from the wider Alpha catalogue rather than every recipe they make, and what is shown in the grid above reflects what is currently available to order.
This suits owners of working or sporting dogs needing a higher-energy diet, and owners of dogs with a known sensitive stomach looking for a simpler recipe with fewer ingredients to react to. As with any food, whether a specific recipe suits your dog depends on their own needs rather than the brand name.

Common questions
- Is Alpha a good dog food brand?
- Alpha is a UK dry food brand with working, sensitive and puppy formulas built around named meat proteins. Whether a specific recipe suits your dog depends on their age, activity level and any known sensitivities, the same as with any dog food brand.
- Is Alpha dog food suitable for sensitive stomachs?
- Alpha's sensitive range is built around a more limited ingredients list, typically a single named protein alongside rice, which is a common approach for dogs with a known sensitive stomach. Introduce any new food gradually and speak to your vet if problems continue.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the whole Alpha range?
- No, we stock a selection from the range rather than every recipe Alpha makes. What's shown in the grid above is what we currently have available to order, and that changes as stock does.
- Is Alpha food suitable for working dogs?
- Yes, Alpha's working and sporting range is formulated with a higher protein and fat content aimed at genuinely active dogs. A sedentary dog fed the same recipe is more likely to gain unwanted weight than benefit from the extra energy it provides.
- Is Alpha food grain-free?
- Some recipes in the range include grain-free options built around ingredients such as potato or vegetables instead, while others use rice as part of a more traditional recipe. Check the specific product listing for the exact composition, since this varies across the Alpha range rather than being one fixed approach.
