What does hypoallergenic dog food mean?
Updated yesterday

When it comes to caring for our beloved canine companions, understanding their dietary needs is essential—especially for those prone to food sensitivities. That’s where hypoallergenic dog food steps in. But what exactly does it mean?


Edgard & Cooper’s hypoallergenic recipes for dogs are thoughtfully crafted to exclude the top five most common food allergens for dogs: beef, chicken, wheat gluten, soya, and dairy. By leaving out these potential triggers, we aim to reduce the likelihood of food-related allergic reactions, making mealtimes safer and more comfortable for dogs with sensitive systems.


Why It Can Help

Allergies in dogs are often caused by specific proteins or ingredients in their food. By eliminating these top culprits from our recipes, we lower the chances of exposing your dog to something that might trigger a reaction. This approach provides a gentler and more manageable dietary option for many dogs with known sensitivities.

Every Dog Is Unique

Of course, it’s important to remember that every dog is a little different. While our hypoallergenic recipes are designed to reduce the risk of allergic reactions, they can’t guarantee complete prevention. If you’re unsure whether hypoallergenic food is right for your dog, you can always reach out to our Customer Happiness Team who are more than happy to help you figure it out.


A Quick Note for Cat Parents

It’s also worth noting that we do not have any hypoallergenic recipes for cats. Cats have their own set of allergens, so their dietary needs and sensitivities are quite different.
