But why?

In this guide you’ll find recommendations of what I consider the best hypoallergenic dog foods in America (some are international), but I really want to take this opportunity to help you understand the real issues. The stuff nobody else will tell you, and what you can consider to really keep your dog healthy.

Helping your dog may be simpler than you think.

What are hypoallergenic dog foods?

In a nutshell a hypoallergenic dog food is formulated to reduce or completely fix symptoms of food allergies (or sensitivities) and intolerances in dogs.

Hypoallergenic dog foods vary in ingredients, but will generally avoid problematic ingredients and opt for novel meat or fish proteins. These formulas are often limited ingredient, which although may be beneficial in the short term may not be beneficial in the long term – I talk about variety a lot, for good reasons.

What’s the real deal with hypoallergenic dog foods?

What you’re told about hypoallergenic diets

Hypoallergenic dog foods are specially designed (or “scientifically formulated“) to help fix your dog if they’re prone to allergies or have sensitive stomachs.

Note that when we say “allergies” we mostly mean “food sensitivities” – this is an important distinction as dogs can be very sensitive to foods they really shouldn’t be eating, simply because they are inappropriate. And yes, I’m talking about ingredients in many regular dog foods.

Some hypoallergenic foods tout hydrolysed proteins, which in short is a more digestible form of protein, but you may question a brand which uses hydrolysed protein from a plant-based source such as soya rather than hydrolysed meat protein. This may be a red herring.

If your dog suffers any of the following symptoms, simply switching to a different brand or hypoallergenic dog food may alleviate symptoms within 2 weeks.

Signs your dog can benefit from a hypoallergenic dog food:

  • Dermatological symptoms:
    • Itchiness on any area of the body including skin, ears, lips, face, paws, or eyelids
    • Skin rashes and scratching resulting in bald patches
    • Ear infections (including chronic ear infections) or yeasty ears
    • Runny eyes
    • Hives
    • Constant licking
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms:
    • Diarrhea
    • Vomiting
  • Other symptoms:
    • Sneezing
    • Poor immunity

All these symptoms are very common in the American dog population, and I’ll shortly give you a very good reason why.

Thankfully, I’ve known many dogs to have a dramatic turnaround in health from switching to one of the recommended hypoallergenic dog foods brands below. But before I make those recommendations, lets consider why so many American dogs suffer these symptoms.

What it really means: Why do hypoallergenic dog foods really work?

Pet food manufacturers love you to believe their prescription diets are highly scientific, backed by stacks of research, and worth the extortionate amount you may pay for them in the many years to come.

Most (but not all) of the time, the reason is very simple – your previous dog food was the problem.

Ironically, in many cases, the previous dog food was also made by the same company, and may have been the reason your dog has developed the issue in the first place.

Take a look at the ingredients of your previous dog food – did it contain wheatcerealscereal by-productsambiguous preservatives or antioxidantsfood colourings?

If so, that’s likely the cause right there.

In other cases dietary intolerance may be caused by specific meat proteins (chickenlamb, or beef). Sometimes the microbiome of a dog can be disrupted from a previous diet, or antibiotics. Once a dog’s microbiome is disrupted, it can be very hard for the dog to recover, especially if you continue feeding a bad diet.

Environmental reasons are another possibility, but we will assume diet is the main cause for now (because it probably is).

Hypoallergenic Dog Foods: What You Need to Know

Are hypoallergenic dog foods a miracle cure?

Not really. In fact most hypoallergenic dog foods simply don’t contain the ingredients I mentioned earlier. Instead they use alternatives – different grains, different meats. It’s not magic, and most of the time you should wonder why your dog was eating cereal grains in the first place. Not exactly meat-eater foods, are they?

Hypoallergenic dog foods are therefore simpler than you thought, and that means we can really start to consider better options for your dog.

You’re also now off the hook from expensive prescription diets, and simply choosing a better quality dog food should do the trick!

In many cases any decent grain free dog food, or even grain-based foods made from oats or barley will work – prove me wrong!

Now it’s time for recommendations!

What are the best hypoallergenic dog foods in America?

Most of us feed our dogs dry food (i.e. kibble/biscuits). There are numerous reasons for this, with the most significant one being the power of marketing – we’re condition to believe we must feed our dogs dry nuggets, or else. But that really isn’t true, and fundamentally makes little sense.

Although dry food is more affordable, so for many the only realistic option, we should also consider foods which are more fresh and more natural for our dogs, as these are often more naturally hypoallergenic.

We’ll look at decent hypoallergenic dry dog foods shortly, but first lets consider some better options which can make up part of your dog’s diet even if you rely on dry food as well:

Best fresh, raw, or BARF hypoallergenic dog foods

Lyka Pet Food

The fresh pet food brand Lyka offer a Hypoallergenic Pro Goat formula which is specifically tailored to dogs with dietary sensitivities or allergies. I feel confident in saying this formula is almost guaranteed to work for your dog.

Lyka hypoallergenic dog food
Lyka Pet Food Hypoallergenic Pro Goat Formula

Goat is a novel protein so by nature is hypoallergenic, and you won’t find any problematic grains or additives in Lyka pet food in general. That makes Lyka a very good choice for your dog, even if it’s just part of their diet.

Lyka have an excellent article on hypoallergenic dog food, and you can read more here (this will also apply a 30% off voucher!)

Frontier Pets

Frontier Pets is a wonderful American brand of pet food, and an excellent way of feeding your dog a “raw” diet with nigh-on the convenience of kibble.

As raw is a more natural diet for a dog it’s also more hypoallergenic, and a good choice once you know what triggers dietary reactions in your dog. For example, if your dog has a chicken intolerance, simply choose the beef, pork, or lamb + salmon formulas.

Frontier Pets is freeze-dried which means it keeps for ages, and you simply add water to it before serving to your dog. Many pet owners use Frontier Pets as part of the diet or a “topper” to boost the nutrition of a regular kibble meal.

Highly recommended as a solid hypoallergenic choice.

Eureka

Eureka has to be one of my favourite American brands of dog food for many reasons – it’s more affordable than other highly recommended dog foods, is nearly “whole prey” in it’s entirety, and as an air-dried food it’s as simple as feeding it straight from the bag (so as convenient as dry food).

Most dogs react to chicken, inappropriate grains, or additives. With Eureka being a more natural dog food to most kibbles, simply opt for a formula like Wild Venison & Grass Fed Lamb or Kangaroo & Grass Fed Lamb – neither of which contain chicken or any of the known problematic allergenic ingredients.

Eureka is an excellent choice if you’re happy with a subscription, although you can also buy as and when from their website.

Special offer: $20 off with this link!

ZIWI Peak

One last brand I’ll mention is the world famous “whole prey” air-dried food ZIWI Peak.

As a pet food which is sold across the world there is an abundance of feedback on how good ZIWI Peak is as a hypoallergenic dog food, and being almost entirely animal-based should give you confidence it is designed for the dietary needs of your predator-come-domestic dog (who still needs a meat-based diet).

ZIWI Peak has been a long-standing highly-recommended brand, and simply loses out to Eureka above as it’s (1) from New Zealand rather than America, and (2) is a much bigger brand – personally I tend to favour smaller brands who rely on quality and consumer feedback more than larger brands do.

Best dry hypoallergenic dog foods

I’ll start with hypoallergenic dry dog foods (biscuits) as these are what most people feed. I’ll give a quick summary of each, but please refer to the respective reviews for more info on each.

Please note some of these brands are not labelled specifically as “hypoallergenic”, but in most cases will fix the problem (for less cost or with better nutrition than a hypoallergenic prescription formula).

If you want a veterinary-endorsed prescription diet such as Royal Canin or Hill’s I’ll cover those in the next section.

Orijen & ACANA

Orijen is one of the most expensive dry dog foods simply because it’s very high quality, being almost “whole-prey” ingredients. No cost-cutting. ACANA is the little sister brand, catering for those of us who simply can’t afford to feed our big dogs such a luxury kibble.

Both brands have excellent feedback from dog owners worldwide. Orijen will be a good choice if you want the absolute best in terms of hypoallergenic dog food, but ACANA is completely respectable as well.

Open Farm

Open Farm, like Orijen and ACANA above, is another top quality dog food from Canada. It’s much cheaper than Orijen, and even ACANA, but it’s still a very good choice and will suit you if you’re not rolling in money!

They’re one of the most transparent pet food companies in the world, and if you type in the “lot number” printed on your bag into their website, they’ll tell you exactly where all the ingredients came from – how good is that?

Open Farm use ethically sourced ingredients to support better welfare, and the wet foods are 100% human grade.

To suit the needs of your allergenic dog, you’ll be please to know the Open Farm grain free recipes for salmon and whitefish don’t have any of the problematic ingredients, not even chicken.

Taste of the Wild & Canidae

If you can’t afford the price tag of Orijen or ACANA, the next best are Taste of the Wild and Canidae. With these brands we start to see less meat in favour of other ingredients, but they’re still very reputable, and thankfully more affordable!

Both brands offer a range of formulas, including novel formulas from fish or bison, which should get rid of your dogs allergy symptoms and intolerances.

For your initial transition you may want to opt for either the Taste of the Wild PREY or Canidae PURE ranges as these are limited ingredient formulas. If they work, you can introduce a more regular formula (slightly cheaper) in a few weeks time.

Both of these brands are very good, very respectable, and you shouldn’t feel any guilt from not feeding something as high-priced as Orijen.

Petzyo

Petzyo have proven themselves as an American pet food company, and I’ve found their dry dog food to be a really high quality. Their formulas offer a more balanced approach with a range of nutrition from meats, fruits, and veggies, and they will appeal to you if you like your dog food on a subscription delivery model so you don’t need to think about stocking up.

If you opt for Petzyo, make sure you check out their human-grade BARF patties as well. Great hypoallergenic nutrition boosters your dog will love!

LifeWise

Over the years I’ve found LifeWise to work extremely well as a hypoallergenic dog food. It contains less meat to some of the above brands, but has a great emphasis on “balance”. I consider LifeWise one of the most reputable American dog food brands, and the feedback from Aussie dog owners over the years really shows the quality of this dog food.

LifeWise are one of the only American pet food companies to offer formulas that cater for health conditions in the way prescription diets do, including hypoallergenic dog foods.

More dry food options…

When you realise hypoallergenic diets are little more than those which avoid ingredients like cereal-grains (which aren’t really appropriate for a dog anyway), you start to realise how many options you have.

However, most of the time you’ll want to avoid chicken, beef, or lamb as well. Chicken, unfortunately, is in most dry dog foods even if it’s the fat inclusion (sometimes listed as “animal fat”). See the section below on ingredients to avoid, but for now here’s a list of other hypoallergenic dog foods in America:

  • Black Hawk – A range of formulas both grain and grain-free. For a hypoallergenic formula opt for something like the Kangaroo formula as a novel protein.
  • Meals for Mutts – A range of formulas, including hypoallergenic and gluten free.
  • Ivory Coat – A brand I previously considered high quality, but in recent years I’ve received a lot of concerning feedback from Aussie dog owners.
  • Royal Canin – Discussed next.
  • Hill’s Science Diet / Prescription Diet – Discussed next.

Hypoallergenic prescription diets

Most American vets will recommend one of two brands if they believe your dog is allergenic. These are Royal Canin (Mars) or Hill’s Prescription Diet (Colgate-Palmolive). Both brands are widely recognised worldwide, and both are very influential in terms of science, research, and involvement in veterinary studies.

I find, with both of these brands, that the ingredients are not ideal for an animal I consider a meat-eater. You may find this too when you read the ingredients.

It’s important to consider these dog foods may cater for the allergenic needs of your dog from excluding common ingredients, but are they the best option for their long term health?

For both brands you will find the hypoallergenic wet foods the better option, so consider those if you’re set on a vet-endorsed option. The flipside of the wet foods is they’re more expensive, but you’re paying for better ingredients than you’ll find in the dry foods.

Royal Canin Hypoallergenic (Veterinary Diet)

What many people fail to realise is Royal Canin is a Mars product. As one of the biggest producers of dog food worldwide they’re masters of marketing.

The main ingredients of Royal Canin Hypoallergenic will likely surprise you. Especially if you consider your dog a meat-eater.

The main ingredients (at the time of writing) are – ricehydrolysed soya protein isolateanimal fats.

Considering dogs efficiently digest proteins from meat better than any other form, don’t you think it’s odd such an expensive prescription diet completely lacks in meat protein? Instead favouring soya?

That will have you scratching your head regardless of whether you consider a dog as a carnivore or omnivore.

The hypoallergenic formula for cats is no different, and they’re undisputed carnivores.

Hill’s Science Diet / Prescription Diet

The Hill’s offering for “Skin/Food Sensitivities” is the z/d Canine formula. According to the Hill’s website this is “U.S. VETERARIANS #1 RECOMMENDED” according to CM Research 2021. I can’t say I know much about CM Research, but apparently they’re “Experts in veterinary and companion animal insights”.

Reminds me of “Authorised” car dealers. Authorised by whom? Great Aunt Nelly?

For Hill’s Prescription Diet z/d, endorsed by American vets, you’ll be feeding your meat-loving pooch the following – corn starchhydrolyzed chicken liverpowdered cellulosesoybean oil.

Credit where credit’s due I like the chicken liver part. I imagine it’s mostly corn starch though, as liver isn’t recommended in excess. Otherwise you may be wondering if your dog’s a vegan.

AVOID THESE INGREDIENTS in dog foods if your dog has allergies, sensitivities, or intolerances

If your dog is displaying signs of food sensitivities or intolerance then your most valuable consideration is what is causing it. Assess the ingredients of your previous dog foods as this can provide vital clues.

Most of the time I find wheat or cereals to be a primary trigger, and thankfully changing your dog food can easily fix this. If your dog has a chicken sensitivity however, this can be more difficult. Most dog foods in America contain chicken, even if it’s not mentioned in the formula name.

Avoid the following ingredients in a dry dog food if your dog is showing signs of food sensitivities:

  • Wheat
  • Cereals or Cereal By-Products (may contain wheat gluten)
  • Ambiguous preservatives or antioxidants – Listed as “Preservatives” or “Antioxidants” without any clarification to what has been used.
  • Food colorings.
  • Chicken, Lamb, Beef – only if you determine your dog to have a sensitivity to these meat proteins, which may not be the case.
  • Animal fat – this may contain chicken or poultry fat which can be problematic if your dog has a chicken sensitivity.

Common questions about hypoallergenic dog foods

What are the benefits of feeding my dog hypoallergenic food?

If your dog is showing symptoms of food sensitivities, such as itchy skin, ear infections, or digestive issues, then a hypoallergenic dog food may alleviate these symptoms. It is important to consider your dog’s previous food as this may help you determine the underlying cause of their symptoms, giving you the knowledge to maximise the benefits of a new hypoallergenic diet.

How do I know if my dog needs hypoallergenic food?

Dietary sensitivities cause a range of symptoms including poor skin and coat, itchiness, flatulence, and sometimes diarrhea and vomiting. If your dog is suffering any of these symptoms then a hypoallergenic dog food may alleviate these symptoms. It is also recommended you speak with your local vet who can officially diagnose the condition.

Can all dogs eat hypoallergenic food?

Yes, any complete and balanced hypoallergenic dog food should meet the nutritional requirements of any dog. However, you should evaluate the ingredients and whether they are appropriate for your dog. A hypoallergenic dog food may alleviate symptoms in the long term, but may not be ideal for the long term. Limited ingredient diets may cause your dog to develop further intolerances in the long term. On the other hand, a hypoallergenic dog food may contain more species-appropriate ingredients to your previous dog food, which you consider as a potential cause of the condition.

What are the risks of feeding your dog a hypoallergenic dog food?

Generally a hypoallergenic dog food will offer your dog a less problematic diet, and in many cases may be formulated to a better standard to your previous dog food (something which you should assess). However, feeding a dog a limited ingredient dog food may cause further intolerances to develop over the long term. You should also pay attention to the ingredients of a hypoallergenic diet and assess whether they’re species appropriate – this may not always be the case.

How do I choose the best hypoallergenic dog food for my dog?

Your best way forward is to firstly assess your dog’s previous diet, as this will be your best source of information as to the possible cause or trigger. Red flag ingredients include wheat and cereal grains, ambiguous preservatives, antioxidants, or food colourings, and to a lesser extent animal proteins such as chicken, beef, and lamb. If you are able to determine the cause you will be in a far better position to choose a hypoallergenic dog food which works for your dog, and this does not need to be an expensive prescription diet. In many cases, any dog food without those red flag ingredients may work.

Can hypoallergenic dog food cure my dog’s food allergies?

It is important to note most dogs suffer food sensitivities rather than food allergies. Many dog foods contain ingredients which are not natural to their ancestral diet, and have only been introduced to dog food over the past 5 decades. Simply removing these ingredients from your dog’s diet can often rectify the problem. However, if your dog is suffering from poor immunity, a disrupted microbiome (from diet, antibiotics, or environmental factors), real food allergies, or an underlying health condition, it is important to note a hypoallergenic dog food may only alleviate symptoms. Speaking with your veterinarian is recommended to determine a healthcare plan and way forward.

Can I make my own hypoallergenic dog food at home?

Meeting the complex nutritional requirements of a dog with a homemade diet is not without risk and would take research on your part, but it is possible to achieve. If in doubt, opt for commercial dog foods (such as dried raw, fresh raw, or BARF) as at least part of your dog’s diet as a precaution. Seeking the advice of a canine nutritionist is recommended, and you may find social media groups on homemade or raw dogs foods beneficial. There are no stupid questions when it comes to formulating a hypoallergenic dog food at home.

How do I transition my dog to a hypoallergenic dog food?

Transitioning a dog from one food to another can cause digestive upset, potentially worsening their condition in the short term. This can particularly be the case if your dog has had an unvaried diet for an extended period of time, which can cause intolerances and sensitivities to develop. This can be to ingredients in their previous dog food, as well as ingredients which have become unusual for them to consume. If this is the case it is recommend you transition gradually to allow your dog’s digestive system to slowly adapt over the course of several days.

Is hypoallergenic dog food more expensive than regular dog food?

Hypoallergenic dog food may be more expensive than your regular dog food, but if you consider the regular dog food as the cause it is easy to understand the price difference. Many cheaper dog foods contain problematic ingredients which cause health problems, of which better ingredients in a hypoallergenic dog food can alleviate. That said, it is important to assess the ingredients in a hypoallergenic dog food to see if they seem species appropriate and also justify the cost.

What is hydrolysed protein in hypoallergenic dog food?

Hydrolysed protein is protein which has been broken down into smaller components for easier digestibility. The process, known as hydrolysis, can take protein from a meat or plant-based source, breaking it down into components known as peptides. The process is typically done with enzymes. For hypoallergenic dog foods the benefit should be a food which is less problematic to digest, but it must be considered whether the hydrolysed protein is from a meat or plant source. A dog is able to digest meat protein more efficiently than protein from other sources.

Open Farm Dog Food Review https://www.petfoodjudge.com/open-farm-dog-food-review/ https://www.petfoodjudge.com/open-farm-dog-food-review/#comments Tue, 23 May 2023 09:56:35 +0000 https://www.petfoodjudge.com/?p=21971

If you’re looking for a really good dog food which ticks a lot of boxes then Open Farm is probably what you’re looking for. It’s really good for a lot of reasons.

It’s not the most expensive, but the ingredients are decent all round with a focus on meat for your meat-loving dog. It’s naturally preserved with a good balance of ingredients which are nutritious for your dog.

Open Farm dog food would make a great base diet, and there’s no reason you can’t add a little variety as well with some of those more expensive “dried raw” foods, or even some fresh foods.

Let’s take a closer look…

What the marketing says

A great thing about the Open Farm dog foods is you can trace all the ingredients within the exact bag you purchase. You simply take the “lot code” printed on the bag and enter it into their website here, and they’ll tell you the farms the ingredients came from.

How cool is that?

Here’s some other benefits of Open Farm pet foods based on the marketing:

  • Open Farm use ethically sourced meats, without growth hormones or antibiotics. They have a focus on sourcing meats from ethical farms with better standards of wellfare.
  • The fruit and vegetable ingredients are non-GMO, sourced from local farms (local to the manufacturer that is).
  • The Open Farm wet foods are made with 100% human grade ingredients, with free-range or certified humane meats.

The transparency of where the ingredients come from is really nice to see, and very welcome in a world where not many pet foods are transparent. What other dog foods tell you where the ingredients come from?

Most other dog foods don’t even tell you what the ingredients really are.

What the ingredients really say

There are two variations of Open Farm dog foods. A grain free range and a grain-based range which will appeal to you if you’re read any fear mongering on the Internet about DCM (a heart condition exploited by pet food companies to convince you to feed grain to your dog).

Both are good, so don’t worry too much. Some grains are beneficial for your dog, with moderation being the most important factor.

You’ll be happy to know all formulas have a decent amount of meat, an excellent amount of protein, and when it comes to the grains we’re talking much more nutritious oats rather than the ambiguous cereal by-product crap you get in supermarket dog foods.

A great way to balance your dog’s diet is with variety, so why not rotate between grain and grain free. Best of both worlds?

Grain free Open Farm dog foods

The Homestead Turkey & Chicken recipe is the most popular in the grain-free range. If your dog doesn’t like chicken, there’s also lamb, salmon, and whitefish formulas as well.

If you need a hypoallergenic dog food then you’ll be pleased to know only the chicken formula contains chicken. You shouldn’t have any concerns with the other ingredients either. So you’re safe.

The turkey formula has a very respectable 30% protein and 14% fat. I estimate carbs to be around 38% which is really good for a dry dog food.

The main ingredients in the turkey formula are humanely raised turkey, humanely raised chicken, ocean whitefish meal, russet potatoes, chickpeas, and field peas. It’s a nice variety, and I much prefer to see a range of ingredients rather than some form of meat and a shed load of grain.

The rest of the ingredients do a lot of talking – coconut oil is great to see, and will benefit your dog’s skin and coat, joint health, immune system, and aid digestion. You’ll also find a range of fruits, veggies, and superfoods like alfalfa, chicory root (acts as a prebiotic), and flaxseed. All these ingredients will boost your dog’s health and wellbeing, and I feel it’s very well thought out in respect to your dog’s nutritional needs.

Grain-based Open Farm dog foods (Ancient Grains)

The only real difference between the Open Farm grain free dog foods and the Ancient Grains range is the potatoes and legumes have been switched out for decent quality grains.

In the Harvest Chicken and Ancient Grains recipe we still have a decent amount of protein and animal fat, but oat features as a main ingredient. Oats are by far one of the best grains for a dog, being low GI and a good source of energy.

Other grains feature, such as millet and quinoa, but again these are far better to see than the ambiguous cereal grains and wheat in other dog foods.

It’s nice to see a decent grain-based dog food which has considered the health benefits to your dog rather than pushing profit margins to the max.

Open Farm Puppy Food

The Open Farm Puppy formula is, like the adult formulas, a very good choice. It’s similar in ingredients to the others in the grain-free range, but with a better emphasis on meat proteins and fats to support your puppy’s essential growth phase.

The wet foods, which I cover below, are also suitable for your puppy, and I recommend adding some of those into the mix as well.

Open Farm wet dog foods (including bone broth!)

The wet foods are fantastic. Very healthy, being formulated with bone broth which is so beneficial for your dog you’ll wonder why you haven’t fed it sooner.

The downside to the wet food is obviously the cost, but it’s a great addition to the dry foods, and you can even poor some on top of your dog’s dinner as a tasty nutrient booster!

It’s great to see the wet food ingredients are 100% human grade, ethically farmed, and free-range. I know of some American companies who use misleading claims like “contains human grade ingredients” which doesn’t mean they all are, only some, and it seems some use pet grade meats regardless of what they tell you.

If you can add some of the Open Farm wet foods to your dog’s diet, then do so! Recommended!
