Glutenfreies Hundefutter: Die richtige Wahl für ernährungssensible Fellnasen

Our four-legged friends' diet has a significant impact on their health and well-being. It is therefore important to choose a high-quality food that meets the needs of your furry friend. For example, if your dog does not tolerate gluten, you should choose a gluten-free dog food. In the following, we'll tell you what this means and how you can recognize a gluten intolerance in your four-legged friend.

What is gluten and which foods contain it?

Gluten is a gluten protein that is found in certain types of grain. They are mainly found in wheat, rye, barley and spelt. The gluten ensures that the grain binds well with other ingredients. This is why it is often an ingredient in dry dog food.

However, there are now more and more dogs that suffer from gluten intolerance or have developed an allergy to gluten-containing grains such as wheat. These four-legged friends should definitely be given a gluten-free dog food. However, this does not necessarily have to be a grain-free dog food, as there are also gluten-free types of grain. More on this later.

How to recognize a gluten intolerance in dogs

If your dog shows the following symptoms, it could be a gluten intolerance:

• Itching
• Skin rash
• Diarrhea
• Bloating

If you notice these symptoms in your four-legged friend, you should definitely visit a vet or veterinarian and have it checked out. After all, these are very unspecific signs that can also indicate other illnesses.

Why should I feed my dog a gluten-free diet?

Feeding your dog a gluten-free diet is useful if your dog suffers from gluten intolerance or has digestive problems when eating food containing gluten. It can help to promote your dog's health and well-being.

Carbohydrates in gluten-free dog food

Gluten-free dog food does not contain gluten-containing grains. However, this does not mean that your dog has to do without carbohydrates altogether. After all, there are many other sources of carbohydrates. At VEGDOG , we use gluten-free cereals such as millet, oatmeal and rice. We also use potatoes, sweet potatoes and amaranth to provide your pet with the necessary carbohydrates and energy. Please note that the carbohydrate sources of our individual varieties differ.

Conclusion

In principle, gluten is not bad for dogs. The same applies to cereals. The latter provide our four-legged friends with carbohydrates, which are an important source of energy.

This can have a positive effect on the health and well-being of your four-legged companion.
