Discover Our Poultry-Free Barking Heads Dry Food Recipes: for Dogs with Chicken Sensitivities

Discover Our Poultry-Free Barking Heads Dry Food Recipes: for Dogs with Chicken Sensitivities - Barking Heads & Meowing Heads

For many dog parents, finding the right food for their dog with poultry sensitivities, intolerances or allergies can be a challenge. Chicken or poultry fat is common in many pet foods, even those marketed as "fish" or "lamb." That’s where Barking Heads comes in – 3 of our dry dog food recipes do not contain poultry meat or fat. However, they do all contain tasty, wholesome goodness with at least 50% meat or fish, freshly prepared ingredients, prebiotics for digestion - tailored for specific needs, breed size or life stage. 

Why Avoid Poultry Fat?

Some dogs may have a sensitivity to poultry and/or poultry fat and it may induce an inflammatory response. Symptoms can include:
  • Itchy skin and ears
  • Gastrointestinal upset
  • Excessive licking or chewing
  • Chronic ear infections
That’s why choosing a truly poultry-free product is essential if your dog has a sensitivity to poultry. If your dog does display these signs, we advise speaking to your vet. Let’s be clear though, not all dogs need to avoid chicken proteins or fat in their diet – if your dog does not have sensitivities to poultry – as it’s a good source of protein and collagen which can help maintain healthy skin and coat.

Which Barking Heads recipes are free from poultry?

1. Barking Heads Tummy Loving Care
Packed with omega-rich white fish, sweet potato, and veggies, this formula supports digestive health while satisfying your dog's taste buds.
Made with 50% tasty grass-fed lamb, blended at least 5 healthy & nutritious fruits & veggies, like sweet potato, peas & carrots.
3. Barking Heads Hair Necessities
With a blend of 50% freshly prepared salmon, sweet potato, peas and carrots, this formula promotes healthy skin and a shiny coat, all while being gentle on sensitive skin.
Tip: Always check the back of the bag or product website for full ingredient listings—Barking Heads is refreshingly transparent about what's in every bite.
At Barking Heads, we’re proud of our recipes. Always check the ingredient list on the bag or visit our website to be sure of what’s inside. We don’t hide behind “flavourings” or vague labels - just honest, natural goodness your dog can thrive on. 
If your dog has a poultry sensitivity or intolerance, you can feed them with peace of mind knowing Barking Heads has poultry-free options that don’t compromise on flavour or nutrition. Whether they’re craving fish or lamb, we’ve got a bowl of goodness ready!
