Sensitive Dog Food

We start with the gut with all our recipes, adding pre and probiotics, avoiding common allergens and any nasties like artifical additives.

For dogs with sensitive stomachs, choose foods that are easy to digest, with natural fibres and probiotics to support gut health. Avoid artificial additives, added sugars, or excess fat. All our recipes are specially designed for sensitive tums, with simple, high-quality proteins like chicken or turkey, plus added prebiotics, probiotics, or postbiotics. We also offer hypoallergenic, grain-free, limited-ingredient, single-source protein, and even plant-powered recipes, so there’s something for every pooch.

Signs of a sensitive stomach can include frequent loose or runny poos, excessive wind, occasional vomiting, tummy gurgles, or showing reluctance to eat. You might also notice their coat looking a little dull if they’re not absorbing nutrients properly. Every dog is different, so it’s always best to chat with your vet if you’re unsure. If your pup does need something gentler, our gut-friendly recipes are designed with easily digestible ingredients and added probiotics to support happy tums.

Neither wet nor dry food is automatically better for dogs with sensitive tummies. It all comes down to the individual recipe and your dog's needs. At Scrumbles, we make gut-friendly wet dog food with carefully selected ingredients, including single-source protein options and added prebiotics like slippery elm. Our recipes are formulated for healthy dogs, so if your pup has a sensitive stomach or a medical condition, we'd recommend checking with your vet to see what's right for them.

Not always! Sensitive dog food is typically formulated with easily digestible ingredients for dogs with sensitive tummies, while hypoallergenic diets are designed to manage specific food allergies. As any ingredient can be an allergen, what works best will depend on your dog's individual needs. Our recipes are formulated to exclude selected common allergens, but they're not veterinary hypoallergenic recipes or hydrolysed diets. Always check each recipe's ingredient list for your dog's specific needs, and speak to your vet if you suspect a food allergy.

Itchy skin can have several causes, including allergies, parasites or environmental factors, so it's always best to check with your vet to understand what's behind it. At Scrumbles, we make gut-friendly recipes with carefully selected ingredients, including options with single-source protein and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to help maintain healthy skin and a glossy coat.

Absolutely! All our sensitive recipes are complete and suitable for dogs from 8 wks old. They're a great choice for little ones with delicate tums.
