Hypoallergenic simply means that allergies are not common. Hypoallergenic dog treats are treats specifically formulated to be less likely to cause allergic reactions in dogs with food sensitivities or allergies. They have carefully selected ingredients, typically excluding common allergens such as wheat, corn, soy, dairy, artificial additives, and certain proteins. Hypoallergenic treats often have a short list of ingredients to minimize the chance of triggering allergies. Hypoallergenic treats usually avoid fillers that may upset sensitive stomachs. They may use novel protein sources like plant based ingredients which reduce the risk of allergies.
Why Choose Hypoallergenic Dog Treats?
Many dogs suffer from a variety of food sensitivities, which can sometimes lead to:
- Diarrhoea
- Vomiting
- Digestive issues such as IBS
- Itchy skin
- Rashes
- Joint pain
- Arthritis
Since hypoallergenic dog treats are void of many common allergens, they may be a good option for dogs which experience allergies.
What is the most common allergen?
Studies such as Rakshanda et al. (2017) found that dogs are more susceptible to being allergic to animal-based protein including beef, dairy, chicken, lamb, eggs, pork, fish and rabbit. To that end, many vets and scientific studies now acknowledge that a plant-based diet can help to address many of the underlying causes of these conditions, by eliminating many of the allergens to which dogs have been repeatedly exposed. This is, in part, because vegan diets are easily digestible, hypoallergenic and naturally anti-inflammatory, which can bolster dogs’ immune systems, reduce the risk of infection and relieve our furry friends of the need to scratch and lick for hours on end.

Keep Your Senior Dog Healthy and Happy
Designed with love for senior dogs age 7+, Golden Oldies treats include sunflower hearts and our ground-breaking vegan supplement, Phytodroitin. This innovative vegan alternative to Chondroitin is derived from marine algae (normally derived from shark fins and bovine cartilage), supporting joint health without compromising our commitment to animal welfare.
Phytodroitin has been found to have excellent bioavailability, meaning it is easily absorbed by the body. It contains various natural compounds such as glucosamine, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties that can contribute to joint health in dogs.
The inclusion of sunflower hearts in the treats also has positive effects on aging dogs. Sunflower hearts are rich in essential fatty acids, particularly omega-6 fatty acids, which can support overall health, including maintaining healthy skin and coat. These fatty acids also possess anti-inflammatory properties, which may help alleviate joint discomfort and reduce inflammation associated with aging in dogs.
Bite-sized rewards for small dogs and puppies
The perfect size for growing puppies and small breeds, our Playful Pup treats combine fresh bananas and marine algae, providing essential nutrients for optimal growth and development. Bananas are perfect in your pup’s treats, as they are low in cholesterol and high in potassium, a delicious and nutritious way to support tummy health. In addition, seaweed is helpful for pups growing minds and bodies, as it supports thyroid, dental, joint, and skin health, as well as overall detoxification of the body.
