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