Allergies & Sensitive Dogs

Dogs can react to individual ingredients, so always check the product information against your dog's known allergies or intolerances.
Are your treats suitable for dogs with allergies?
It depends on the individual dog and their allergy. Our recipes are developed with common sensitivities in mind, but no treat can be suitable for every possible allergy. Always check the product information before feeding.
