What is a Novel Protein in Dog Food?
A novel protein is what it says: it’s another source of protein. However, unlike more common proteins (like chicken and beef), a novel protein is a food source your dog won’t have eaten very often – or at all. This includes rabbit, venison, or kangaroo.
Since they’re not widely eaten, novel proteins actually reduce the chances of an allergic reaction in your pup. This makes them a great choice if your dog often suffers from allergies or they have a sensitive stomach. This is because your dog’s immune system is less likely to recognize the proteins as allergens, meaning they can digest the food without any problems.
Our novel proteins ensure your dog gets all the nutrients they need without upsetting their poor stomach. Check out chicken free dog food to avoid this common allergen.
Vet Nutritionist Approved
All our novel protein dog food is designed by a PhD vet nutritionist and is lab-tested to ensure it’s safe enough for your pup’s sensitive tummy. We use gentle, steam-cooking methods when making our dog food, which kills the bacteria and brings out all those delicious flavors, creating a healthy meal your dog won’t be able to get enough of.
Made By a Company Who Just Loves Dogs
We’re a small, family-owned company, founded by two brothers who love dogs. Unlike big pet corporations, we don’t prioritize the bottom line. Creating the best dog food for our beloved pets is our main priority.
If it’s not fit for our plate, then it’s not fit for theirs either.
Frequently Asked Questions About Novel Protein Dog Food
What Protein is Best for Dogs with Sensitive Stomachs?
If your pup suffers from a sensitive stomach, they’re not alone. While our dogs will gobble up anything we give them, normal dog food might not be best for them. We recommend giving your dog lean proteins that are soft and easy for your dog to digest. Here are some options to consider:
- Rabbit – This lean, hypoallergenic option is super easy to digest, making it great for sensitive stomachs.
- Venison – This novel protein is rich in all those important nutrients your dog needs to be healthy while being gentle on the stomach.
- Kangaroo – This meat is high in protein and low in fat, which makes it a fantastically healthy addition to your dog’s diet.
