Single Meat Protein Diets
Dogs who have intolerances to certain proteins and need to eat a single meat protein diet have a variety of options within our Single Meat Protein Allergy-Friendly Range. As a single meat protein diet, our Goat, Kanga and Turkey recipes contain only muscle meat, offal and bone of these species and do not contain any chicken eggs, unlike some of our mixed protein recipes. Additionally, Kanga may also be suitable for weight loss, with a fat content of only 5%.
Low fat recipes are not recommended for puppies.

Our Wellbeing recipe has been specifically formulated for senior dogs and dogs that require some additional support, particularly with age-related health concerns.
