◆ Measures against beef and pork allergies

Although dogs are often thought of as carnivores, some are allergic to beef and pork. Some dogs also have allergic reactions to the "avidin" in the whites of chicken eggs and the "biotin" in the yolks. If your dog is allergic to beef or pork, try switching to a dog food that uses fish as the main ingredient.

Grain-free dog food has recently become available in pet stores. For those who are not sure what kind of dog food it is, we will introduce the characteristics of grain-free dog food, which is gaining attention as an allergy prevention measure.

Characteristics of grain - free dog food

Grain means grain in English, and refers to grains such as wheat, rice, and corn. "Grain-free dog food" is food that does not contain grains. The main ingredients are fish, meat, vegetables, etc.

Why grains are not used in dog food

The reason why grains are not used is because dogs do not have the enzyme "amylase" that is required for digesting grains, which is present in the human body. If a dog that does not have "amylase" eats grains, it can put a strain on their internal organs and cause indigestion and diarrhea.

In addition, for some dogs, eating grains can not only cause loose stools, but can also cause allergic symptoms such as red eyes, dandruff, and eczema.

If this is the case, stop feeding your dog the dog food you are currently using and switch to grain-free dog food to prevent allergies.

To prevent allergies, we recommend grain-free products that take food allergies into consideration. Bow Wow Place sells dog food made with domestic fish and New Zealand meat as ingredients.

We do not use grains that are likely to cause allergies, or additives such as ethoxyquin, BHA, or BHT. If you would like to purchase grain-free dog food, please feel free to contact us.

Which dogs should be fed grain-free dog food?

We've explained that grains can be hard on your dog's body, but that doesn't mean all grains are bad.

For example, sweet potatoes help regulate the intestinal environment and prevent skin pigmentation. The important thing is the amount you feed them and the distribution of other nutrients. However, depending on the dog, there are cases where it is better to feed them grain-free dog food.

Here are some characteristics of dogs who should be fed grain-free dog food:

Dogs with allergic reactions to grains

For dogs that are allergic to grains, feed them grain-free dog food that does not contain grains. Even if they do not have an allergic reaction to grains now, allergies can suddenly occur one day, so for dogs that are already allergic to other foods, we recommend that you keep them on grain-free dog food.

◆ Dogs with weak stomachs

Even if your dog doesn't have allergies, if he or she is prone to stomach upsets, it is better to feed them grain-free dog food, which is easier on the stomach.

Dogs that are heavier than their ideal weight

Obesity in dogs can lead to various illnesses. Since grains can easily lead to excess calories, we recommend low-calorie grain-free dog food for dogs that are prone to obesity, which is also used to prevent allergies.

To prevent allergies, we recommend products that do not contain grains or additives (flavorings, colorings, etc.)! We sell dog food made with domestic ingredients (fish and meat)

Even though large pet shops have a wide selection of products, most stores do not stock dog food made with ingredients such as fish or lamb, which are known to be less likely to cause allergies, as a measure against allergies.

BAUWAW offers a wide range of grain-free dog foods made with fish and lamb as ingredients. Free shipping is available for orders of just one item, excluding some areas.
