Grain Free vs Hydrolysed — What's the Difference?

Grain free food is a great first step for dogs with mild digestive sensitivity or a poor response to grain-based diets. If your dog has a diagnosed food allergy or a more severe intolerance, hydrolysed protein food may be a better fit — the proteins are broken down to a size that is less likely to trigger an immune response. Not sure which is right? Start with a grain free sample and see how your dog responds.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dog Food for Sensitive Stomachs

Quick answers to the most common questions.

What is the best dog food for sensitive stomachs?
The best dog food for sensitive stomachs uses a single, easily digestible protein source, removes common irritants like wheat, corn and artificial additives, and includes prebiotics to support gut health. Grain free recipes made with freshly prepared meat or fish are generally well-tolerated by dogs with digestive sensitivities.
What causes a sensitive stomach in dogs?
Sensitive stomachs in dogs are most commonly caused by food intolerances, sudden diet changes or eating too quickly. Dietary triggers include grains, artificial additives, common proteins like chicken or beef, and low-quality fillers that are difficult to digest.
Can grain free dog food help with loose stools?
Yes. Removing grains and common dietary irritants can significantly improve stool consistency. Grain free recipes with quality protein and digestible carbohydrates like sweet potato, combined with prebiotic fibre, support a healthy gut microbiome - which is directly linked to firmer, healthier stools.
How long does it take for dog food to improve digestion?
Most dogs show improvement within 2-4 weeks of switching to a more digestible food, though some take up to 8 weeks for the gut microbiome to fully adjust. Always transition slowly over 7-10 days by mixing new food with old to minimise disruption during changeover.
What ingredients should I avoid in dog food for sensitive stomachs?
Avoid wheat, corn, barley, soy, artificial colours, artificial preservatives and low-quality meat meals. These are harder to digest and commonly linked to gut irritation and loose stools in sensitive dogs. Look for named fresh proteins, sweet potato and prebiotic fibre instead.
