Grain-free vs hipoalergénico: cuál elegir si tu perro tiene alergias

What does 'grain-free' mean?

A grain-free feed simply does not contain grain. Instead, it uses alternative carbohydrate sources such as sweet potato, pea or tapioca. This does NOT automatically mean that it is hypoallergenic.

What exactly is hypoallergenic feed?

A hypoallergenic feed is designed for dogs with confirmed allergies. Its key feature is monoprotein: a single source of animal protein to identify which protein the dog tolerates.

Key differences: grain-free vs. hypoallergenic

The fundamental difference: grain-free eliminates cereals. Hypoallergenic eliminates specific allergens. A feed can be grain-free but NOT hypoallergenic, and vice versa.

How do I know if my dog has a food allergy?

Symptoms include: generalized itching, recurrent otitis, chronic digestive problems, and dermatitis. The only way to confirm it is with an 8-12 week elimination diet.

Which one to choose for my dog?

No allergy symptoms → Grain-free quality. With itching, otitis or problematic digestion → Hypoallergenic single protein. With dysplasia → Grain-free with salmon + chondroprotective supplement.
