Dry food for sensitive dogs
Food for sensitive dogs should feature easily digestible proteins, along with essential vitamins and minerals, prebiotics and antioxidants. This will provide your canine chum with all the nutrients they need, without causing an upset tummy and runny poos.
When looking for dog food that won’t trigger sensitivity issues, choose one that’s carefully crafted to provide the right balance of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fats that your dog needs. Sensitive food for dogs should also be made without artificial flavours and colours and have no added preservatives.
Our Burgess Sensitive Dog Food range is nutritionally balanced to meet the needs of dogs of all ages who require easily digestible food.
Why might you need easy-to-digest sensitive dog food for your canine companion?
Food allergies and sensitivities are common in dogs and can cause a range of symptoms. If you think your dog is suffering from an intolerance, you should check with your vet before transitioning them to the right sensitive dog food.
Your dog’s age is another important consideration. Nutrition plays a significant role when it’s tailored to the different stages of a dog’s development, supporting the optimum quality of life from puppyhood to adulthood and throughout their senior years.
So, whether you’re looking for sensitive food for a puppy, adult dog or senior dog, remember that a dog’s nutritional needs vary throughout their life.
