Dog food for sensitive dogs

Just like humans, dogs can suffer from digestive problems, which can be caused by various factors. From unsuitable food to stress - there are many causes that can affect your dog's digestion. The following points provide a detailed overview of possible triggers:

• Improper diet: An unbalanced diet can significantly disrupt your dog's digestion. Food with too many fillers, preservatives or incompatible ingredients can cause bloating, diarrhea or constipation .
  
• Food intolerances or allergies: Dogs can develop intolerances or allergies to certain ingredients in their food over the course of their lives. The main allergens include beef (34%), chicken (15%), lamb (14.5%), dairy products (17%) and wheat (13%).
  
• Stress and anxiety: As with us humans, stress can lead to digestive disorders in dogs. Changes in the environment, traveling, loud noises or separation anxiety can put a strain on the digestive system.
  
• Parasite infestation: Parasites such as worms or Giardia can significantly disrupt your dog's digestion. They deprive the dog of important nutrients and cause diarrhea, weight loss or a conspicuous appetite.
  
• Gastrointestinal diseases: Conditions such as gastritis, pancreatitis or inflammation of the intestines can cause chronic digestive problems in dogs. These diseases always require veterinary treatment.
  
• Medication intake: Certain medications such as painkillers, antibiotics or dewormers can have a negative effect on the digestion of dogs. They can disrupt the balance of the intestinal flora or irritate the gastrointestinal tract.

A precise diagnosis by a veterinarian is essential to determine the exact cause of the complaints and take appropriate measures.

Which food is suitable for

nutritionally sensitive pets?

For nutritionally sensitive dogs, it is important to choose food that is tailored to their specific needs. Hypoallergenic dog food is particularly suitable for this. It avoids common allergens such as certain animal proteins and instead relies on alternative protein sources. On top of this, the food should consist of high-quality and easily digestible ingredients. Artificial additives such as attractants and colorants are a no-go. Probiotics can also be useful for additional support of the intestinal flora.
