Autarky grain free dog food
Autarky is a British complete dry dog food brand, and its grain-free range replaces cereal ingredients with potato as the main carbohydrate source instead. We stock a selection from the range as one of the grain-free dry options on the shelf alongside our other brands.
What 'grain-free' means in this range
Autarky's grain-free recipes swap out wheat, maize and similar cereal ingredients for potato, which serves the same role in the recipe — providing carbohydrate and helping bind the kibble — without using a grain. This is a genuine formulation choice rather than a marketing label alone, and it is a reasonable option for an owner specifically wanting to avoid grain in their dog's diet.
Grain-free is not automatically 'better' than a food containing grain — most dogs digest cereal ingredients perfectly well, and grain-free is really about avoiding grain specifically, whether for a known sensitivity or simply personal preference, rather than being a universal upgrade.
What we stock, and who it suits
Our range includes Autarky's grain-free adult recipe built around white fish and potato, a complete dry food for adult dogs. We stock a selection from the wider Autarky range rather than the whole catalogue, and what is shown above is what is currently available to order.
This range tends to suit owners who have chosen to avoid grain specifically, whether following a vet's suggestion for a dog with a known sensitivity or simply as a preference, at an accessible price point compared with some premium grain-free brands. As with any food, whether a specific recipe suits your dog depends on their individual needs rather than the grain-free label alone.

Common questions
- Is grain-free dog food better than food with grain?
- Not automatically. Most dogs digest grain-based ingredients perfectly well, and grain-free is about specifically avoiding grain, whether for a known sensitivity or personal preference, rather than being a universal health upgrade. What matters most is whether the specific recipe suits your individual dog.
- What does Autarky use instead of grain?
- Autarky's grain-free range uses potato as the main carbohydrate source in place of wheat, maize or similar cereal ingredients, serving a similar role in the recipe without using grain.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the full Autarky range?
- No, we stock a selection from the range rather than every recipe Autarky makes. What is shown in the grid above reflects what we currently have available to order, and that can change as stock does.
- Should I switch my dog to grain-free food?
- Only if there is a specific reason to, such as a vet-identified sensitivity or your own preference. If your dog is doing well on their current food, there is no need to switch, and any change should be introduced gradually over a week or so rather than all at once.
