Beta grain-free dog food
Beta, made by Burgess, does not currently produce a dedicated grain-free recipe within its own range — its foods are built around named single proteins with cereals such as rice or maize included, rather than being formulated as grain-free. If grain-free specifically is what you are after, it is worth knowing that upfront rather than searching Beta's range for something that is not there.
What Beta's range actually offers
Beta's recipes are built around a single named protein per formula — chicken, salmon, turkey or lamb across the adult, senior, puppy, light and working ranges — with cereals included as part of a complete, balanced recipe rather than as filler. This single-protein approach is useful for a dog with a known sensitivity to a particular meat, even without being grain-free.
For a dog who does well on Beta generally but has a specific reason to avoid grain, such as a diagnosed grain sensitivity confirmed by a vet, a genuinely grain-free food from a different brand is the more direct route than waiting for Beta to add one.
Where to look for a genuine grain-free option
Several brands we stock do produce dedicated grain-free recipes with a similar single-protein approach to Beta's own range, which is worth exploring if grain-free is the specific requirement rather than simply wanting a straightforward, everyday dry food.
Whichever brand you choose, introduce any new food gradually alongside what your dog already eats, over several days rather than switching overnight, and keep an eye on how they settle onto it before assuming it is or is not the right fit.

Common questions
- Does Beta make a grain-free dog food?
- No, not currently — Beta's range is built around named single proteins with cereals included as part of the recipe, rather than being formulated as grain-free. If grain-free is specifically what you need, look at a brand that offers a dedicated grain-free line.
- Is Beta a good brand if my dog has a food sensitivity?
- It can be, since each recipe is built around one named protein, which makes it easier to identify what does or does not suit your dog. That single-protein approach is useful even though the range is not grain-free.
- Why do some dogs need a grain-free diet?
- A genuine grain sensitivity or allergy is one reason, though it is less common than a protein-based sensitivity. Always confirm a suspected grain sensitivity with your vet before assuming grain-free is the right change to make.
- What should I do if my dog needs both grain-free and a specific protein?
- Look for a grain-free recipe from a brand that also offers your dog's suited protein source as a named single ingredient, rather than assuming any grain-free food will do. Checking the full ingredient list matters more than the grain-free label alone.
