Hypoallergenic Dog Treats

Dogs with food sensitivities, allergies or digestive issues need extra care when it comes to treats. Many common dog treats contain ingredients such as beef, chicken, grains or artificial additives that can trigger itching, digestive upset or discomfort. That’s why our hypoallergenic dog treats are carefully selected to provide safe, gentle options for dogs with sensitive stomachs or allergy-prone skin.

This collection features natural, grain-free dog treats made with novel protein sources such as goat, rabbit, kangaroo, buffalo and ostrich. These proteins are less commonly used in dog food and treats, making them an excellent choice for dogs that react to more traditional ingredients.

Supporting your dog’s digestion starts with good nutrition. Learn more in our Ultimate Guide to Natural Dog Treats.

What Are Hypoallergenic Dog Treats?

Hypoallergenic dog treats are designed to reduce the risk of allergic reactions by using simple, limited ingredients and alternative protein sources. Instead of relying on common allergens, these treats focus on clean, single-protein recipes that are easier for sensitive dogs to tolerate.

Many dogs experience food-related symptoms such as:

Itchy or irritated skin
Excessive licking or scratching
Ear infections
Digestive upset, gas or loose stools

Switching to hypoallergenic dog treats can help minimise these issues while still allowing you to reward and enrich your dog safely.

Why Novel Proteins Matter

Novel proteins are protein sources your dog is unlikely to have eaten before. Because the immune system hasn’t been repeatedly exposed to them, they are less likely to trigger allergic responses.

Our hypoallergenic dog treats feature carefully selected novel proteins, including:

Goat
Rabbit
Kangaroo
Buffalo
Ostrich

These proteins are naturally lean, highly digestible and suitable for dogs following elimination diets or experiencing ongoing food sensitivities.

Benefits of Hypoallergenic Dog Treats

Supports Sensitive Digestion

Limited-ingredient treats made with novel proteins are easier on the digestive system, helping reduce bloating, gas and stomach upset.

Helps Relieve Itchy Skin & Allergies

By avoiding common allergens, hypoallergenic treats can help reduce itching, redness and irritation linked to food sensitivities.

Cleaner, Simpler Ingredients

Our hypoallergenic dog treats are:

Grain-free
Free from artificial colours and preservatives
Made with transparent, natural ingredients

This makes them suitable for dogs that need a more controlled, gentle diet.

Ideal for Training & Everyday Treating

Hypoallergenic treats allow you to reward good behaviour without worrying about triggering unwanted reactions, making them suitable for both training and occasional treating.

Choosing the Right Hypoallergenic Treat for Your Dog

When selecting hypoallergenic dog treats, it’s important to:

Choose single-protein options where possible
Avoid mixed protein recipes
Check ingredient lists carefully for hidden additives
Introduce new treats gradually

If your dog is following an elimination diet, sticking to one novel protein at a time can help identify what works best for them.

Treats to Avoid for Dogs with Allergies

Dogs with sensitivities often react to:

Beef and chicken
Wheat and grains
Artificial flavourings
Added sugars and fillers

Avoiding these ingredients can make a significant difference to your dog’s comfort and overall wellbeing.

How Many Hypoallergenic Treats Should Dogs Have?

Even with sensitive dogs, treats should be given in moderation. As a general guide:

Treats should make up no more than 10% of daily calorie intake
Adjust portions based on your dog’s size and activity level
Always provide fresh water

Monitor your dog closely when introducing any new treat and discontinue use if you notice adverse reactions.
