Why Rabbit is One of the Best Proteins for Sensitive Dogs
Rabbit is widely regarded as one of the most hypoallergenic proteins in dog food. It is rarely used in mainstream commercial pet food, meaning most dogs have never been exposed to it — making it an ideal choice for elimination diets, confirmed food allergies or dogs with chronic sensitivities that haven't responded to other proteins.
Is Rabbit Dog Food Good for Dogs with Itchy Skin?
Yes — if your dog's itchy skin is diet-related, switching to a novel protein like rabbit can significantly reduce the immune response driving the reaction. Many owners report improvements in skin condition, coat quality and reduced paw licking within 4–6 weeks of switching to a rabbit-based grain free diet.
Rabbit for Elimination Diets
An elimination diet involves feeding a single novel protein and carbohydrate source for 8–12 weeks to identify food triggers. Rabbit is one of the most reliable elimination diet proteins because it is almost never found in a dog's dietary history — giving a clean baseline from which to reintroduce other proteins one at a time.
Nutritional Profile of Rabbit Dog Food
Rabbit is naturally lean, low in fat and high in easily digestible protein. It provides a good spectrum of B vitamins, phosphorus and selenium — supporting energy metabolism, bone health and antioxidant function in everyday feeding.
Why Freshly Prepared Rabbit Matters
Our recipes use freshly prepared rabbit — not dried rabbit meal — as the number one ingredient. Freshly prepared rabbit is gently cooked at 82°C using our Freshlock process, retaining its gentle, highly digestible protein profile. The result is a cleaner, more bioavailable meal — particularly important for dogs whose digestive systems are already under stress from food reactions.
Added Probiotics — Gut Health in Every Bag
Every rabbit recipe contains added MOS and FOS prebiotics — natural fibre sources that feed beneficial gut bacteria, improve stool consistency and support immune function. For dogs with persistent sensitivities, combining the hypoallergenic properties of rabbit with daily prebiotic support provides a powerful foundation for digestive recovery.
Sweet Potato — A Naturally Gentle Carbohydrate
Our rabbit recipes use sweet potato as the primary carbohydrate source — a natural, grain free alternative to wheat, rice or maize. Sweet potato is one of the most gentle carbohydrates available, providing slow-releasing energy and natural beta-carotene without putting stress on a sensitive digestive system. Paired with freshly prepared rabbit and added prebiotics, it creates one of the cleanest, most gut-friendly complete meals on the market.
