On the "grain free" question

This recipe still contains whole maize and whole oats, both grains, so despite being labelled hypo-allergenic it is wheat gluten free rather than grain free - worth knowing if your dog's sensitivity has been specifically identified as a grain issue rather than wheat gluten, since this recipe would not remove that trigger.

Why we chose it

Being specific about wheat gluten rather than making a blanket grain-free claim it cannot actually back up is the more honest way to sell a sensitivity food, and that is worth pointing out given how loosely some competitors use the term. The added prebiotics are also a genuine extra for a food at this end of the price range.

Full description

A dog with a sensitive digestive system does not always need every grain removed from its diet - wheat gluten is the more common trigger, and a recipe that removes specifically that while keeping other easily digested carbohydrates can be the more practical fix. Alpha's Sensitive range is built on that distinction.

The composition is whole maize, whole oats, meat and bone meal, white rice at 12%, poultry meal at 7%, poultry oil, fish meal, whole linseed at 2.5%, brewer's yeast and prebiotic chicory root extract and MOS, each at 0.1%. Protein comes out at 20%, oils and fats at 10%, crude fibre at 4% and crude ash at 7.5%. Alpha describe it as hypo-allergenic and wheat gluten free.

On the "grain free" question. This recipe still contains whole maize and whole oats, both grains, so despite being labelled hypo-allergenic it is wheat gluten free rather than grain free - worth knowing if your dog's sensitivity has been specifically identified as a grain issue rather than wheat gluten, since this recipe would not remove that trigger.

Who it's for: owners of an adult dog with a wheat gluten sensitivity specifically, who want a recipe built around removing that rather than every grain.
