Instinctive Bite Single Protein: Nutrition for Sensitive Dogs

The Instinctive Bite single protein range is complete and balanced for adult dogs, and built on several key nutritional principles, all designed to work together to support your dog's overall health and wellbeing.

The power of a single protein

The most common sources of food allergies and sensitivities in dogs are proteins, such as chicken, beef and dairy. When the protein is absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream, the dog’s immune system can mount an inappropriate response. This process sensitises the dog to that protein, resulting in an allergic reaction.

A single animal protein diet uses just one source of animal protein. This is incredibly helpful for sensitive dogs for two main reasons:

• It reduces the likelihood of including an ingredient that your dog may be sensitive to.
• If your dog does have a reaction, it's much easier to identify the potential trigger. Think of it like an investigation; with fewer ingredients, it's much easier to pinpoint the culprit.

Going one step further, for dogs with suspected food allergies, a diet containing a single, novel protein is often recommended. A 'novel' protein is simply one your dog hasn't been exposed to before, such as kangaroo or duck. By introducing a protein source that is new to your dog's system, you can help further reduce the likelihood of an allergic reaction occurring.

A healthy gut is a happy gut

A balanced population of microflora in the digestive system is the foundation of good health. Instinctive Bite includes natural prebiotics, such as beet pulp and chicory root (a source of inulin), which act as a food source for the 'good bacteria' living in your dog's intestines. By nourishing these beneficial bacteria, prebiotics help to support a healthy gut microbiome. This helps to support better nutrient absorption, digestive function, and firmer, more consistent stools. A happy gut makes for a happy dog!

Omega 3 for healthy skin and a shiny coat

Itchy skin and a dull, dry coat are common problems that can often be linked back to diet.

The Instinctive Bite Single Protein range is enriched with fish oil, a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe skin irritation. They also play a vital role in strengthening the skin's natural barrier and nourishing the coat from the inside out, helping to restore a healthy, glossy shine.

Packed with superfood goodness

To give your dog an extra wellness boost, Instinctive Bite incorporates superfoods like sweet potato and legumes. These ingredients are rich in natural antioxidants, which are like tiny bodyguards for your dog's cells, helping to protect them from damage caused by free radicals. This provides excellent support for a strong and healthy immune system.

Clean nutrition: grain-free with no nasties

For dogs with sensitivities to grains like wheat or corn, a grain-free diet is critical. In addition, the Instinctive Bite range is made with no genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. This commitment to clean, natural ingredients means you can be confident you are feeding your dog a wholesome meal without any unnecessary additives.

Proudly Australian made

Being made in Australia means this food is produced under some of the highest manufacturing and safety standards in the world. It also means you're supporting local producers and ensuring greater freshness from farm to bowl.
