Why Choose Ultimate Pet Foods Grain Free Dog Food?

In 2012, I walked into a pet shop with my yellow Labrador Kirk and asked a member of staff which food I should buy. Their answer was: "Anything from this wall will do."

It wouldn't do. That moment is why Ultimate Pet Foods exists.

Within three months I had our first recipes ready and our first sample packs out the door. The brief was simple: freshly prepared British meat or fish as ingredient #1, transparent labelling, and a gentle cooking process that actually preserves the nutrition. Our Freshlock™ process cooks every recipe at 82°C — low enough to lock in nutrients and natural flavour, without the harsh temperatures that strip value from the ingredients.

No cheap fillers. No animal derivatives. No guessing. Just honest, science-backed grain-free nutrition that makes a visible difference — in coat condition, energy, digestion and long-term health.

  • Freshly prepared British meat or fish as ingredient #1 — named, traceable, and always in the majority
  • Free from wheat, corn, barley and soy — no grains, no compromise
  • Sweet potato as the primary carbohydrate — digestible, low-glycaemic, naturally rich in fibre
  • Freshlock™ gentle cooking at 82°C — nutrients and natural flavour locked in from fresh to bowl
  • Added prebiotics for gut health and omega-3s for skin and coat
  • Complete and balanced to FEDIAF nutritional standards — vet approved for all life stages
  • Made in the UK — from recipe to bag

Frequently Asked Questions: Grain Free Dog Food for all Life Stages and all Breeds

Quick answers to the most common questions.

What is grain free dog food?
Grain free dog food is a complete dry food made without wheat, corn, barley, oats or other cereal grains. Instead of grains as the primary carbohydrate source, quality grain free recipes use digestible alternatives like sweet potato. The key distinction is what's in position one on the ingredient list — in a quality grain free food, that should always be a named freshly prepared meat or fish, not a grain, a meal or a derivative.
Is grain free dog food better for dogs?
For many dogs, removing grains from the diet leads to noticeable improvements in digestion, coat condition, energy levels and stool quality. This is particularly true for dogs showing signs of food sensitivity — loose stools, itchy skin, excessive moulting, flatulence or recurring ear infections can all be linked to dietary triggers including grains. It's worth noting that the FDA in the US has investigated a potential link between grain-free diets and Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs. The investigation remains inconclusive and subsequent independent research has not established a causal link. All of our recipes are formulated to FEDIAF complete nutrition standards and are vet approved. If your dog has a known heart condition, we recommend speaking to your vet before making any dietary changes.
What should be the number 1 ingredient in grain free dog food?
It should always be a named, freshly prepared meat or fish — such as fresh chicken, fresh salmon or fresh turkey. Ingredients are listed by pre-cooking weight, so whatever appears first makes up the largest proportion of the recipe. If the first ingredient is "meat meal", "animal derivatives" or an unspecified "poultry", that's a red flag. Named, fresh protein in position one is the clearest sign of a quality grain free recipe. Every recipe in our range meets this standard.
Can grain free dog food help with allergies and sensitivities?
Grains are a common dietary trigger for dogs with food sensitivities. Switching to a grain free recipe is often the first dietary step recommended when a dog shows signs of sensitivity — including itchy paws, recurring skin irritation, loose stools, bloating or gastrointestinal upset. Removing grains eliminates one of the most common trigger categories and allows you to isolate whether grain was the issue. For dogs with confirmed allergies to a specific protein source, our hydrolysed range may be more appropriate.
Is grain free dog food suitable for all breeds and life stages?
Yes. Our grain free range covers all breeds and all life stages from 8 weeks to senior. Every recipe is complete and balanced to meet the specific nutritional requirements of each life stage — higher calcium and DHA for puppies, joint support and controlled calories for seniors.
