Grain & Cereal Free
Developed By Vets
Naturally Sensitive Diet
Grains and cereals such as wheat and wheat gluten, maize, rice, barley, rye and oats are known allergens that may trigger food allergies or intolerances. The exclusion of these allergens from our Salmon & Potato recipes means that your dog is less likely to have an allergic response – meaning it’s perfect for dogs with sensitive digestion.
Our recipe is formulated to be gentle on dogs’ sensitive digestive systems using a single protein source. This differs across the range and includes Salmon, Ocean Fish and Chicken for those dogs with allergies and intolerances to either meat or fish. We also add prebiotics as a little added extra to help improve your dogs’ digestion.
Formulated with care and attention we have really gone that extra mile to exclude ingredients that are known triggers for dog food allergies and intolerances in each of our flavours. The recipes are lovingly made in the UK with NO WHEAT, NO WHEAT GLUTEN, NO CEREALS, NO MEATS, NO WHITE FISH and NO DAIRY PRODUCTS.
Our recipe has been manufactured to the strictest exclusion principles and was developed with leading Dermatologist and former British Veterinary Association President, Harvey Locke. Our Salmon & Potato recipe is a non-prescription sensitive diet approved by vets, offering a competitively priced sensitive food without compromising on quality.
The extra crunchy biscuits prevent the build up of plaque and tartar, working with zinc and calcium to help maintain healthy teeth and gums. What’s more the kibble is specifically designed to meet the needs of small/medium and large/giant breed dogs, as we know that size really does matter when it comes to healthy digestion and dental hygiene.
We know what you’re thinking…does it still taste great? And will my dog still enjoy it when it’s packed full of natural goodness? The answer is simply, yes! Each recipe uses a single source of protein including; Salmon, Ocean Fish and Chicken – each one as delicious as the last and all absolutely packed full of vitamins and minerals.
Specifically developed for the maintenance and wellbeing of a normally active adult dog. Providing all the essential nutrients to keep your dog fit, happy and healthy throughout their life.
The nutritional profile of our puppy food includes optimum levels of calcium and phosphorous for strong bones and teeth, both such important aspects for any puppy and their development.
Although our Senior Salmon & Potato recipe contains lower protein content, it still believes in the same core values as its adult version, with a single protein and carbohydrate source. Our senior food is the natural next step for the older dog progressing through the life stages of a sensitive diet.
Joint mobility is such an important factor in the daily life of a happy and healthy dog. Our Light recipe contains the perfect amount of vitamins and minerals to support and maintain healthy joints for those dogs that especially love their food.
Salmon
Salmon is a palatable protein source that is rich in omega fatty acids. The hydrolysed salmon and salmon meal used in our diets are sourced from Scotland and are naturally stabilised by the use of mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract and lecithin, which all work synergistically to have an anti-oxidant effect.
Potato
Potatoes are an excellent carbohydrate source and offer an alternative to cereal carbohydrate sources, for dogs that require a sensitive diet. Potato starch is also used as a thickening ingredient due to the fact our diets are manufactured without wheat gluten.
Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are a tasty and high quality source of easily digestible carbohydrate and also fibre. They have a low glycemic index, with their natural sugars being slowly released into the bloodstream to ensure a balanced and regular source of energy. They are also a great source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, especially vitamins A, C and B6.
Lupin
Lupins are related to legumes such as peanuts, peas, lentils and beans. Lupin seeds can be ground up to make flour, which is used to replace wheat and other cereal products in our gluten free diets.
Pea & Pea Proteins
Peas are members of the legume family and are a source of highly digestible vegetable protein. Pea protein is rich in essential amino acids which are important for maintaining lean muscle mass. They are also a good natural source of dietary fibre and vitamin B.
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is a natural vegetable oil that is a good source of Omega-6 fatty acid – also known as linolenic acid.
Seaweed
Seaweed is rich in iodine which is an important trace mineral that is necessary for many functions including the growth and repair of tissues and to help promote healthy skin and hair.
Prebiotic MOS & FOS
MOS (Mannan-oligosaccharides) and FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides) help promote optimal nutritional uptake and remove harmful bacteria, reducing digestive upsets.
Vitamins, Minerals & Trace Elements
All our diets are nutritionally complete and provide a full complement of vitamins and minerals necessary for growth, repair and maintenance. This includes essential macro and micro trace elements such as calcium, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, zinc, iron, iodine and copper. The vitamins included in our diets cover the fat-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin A, D, E and K, along with the water-soluble vitamins such as B1, B6, B12, Folic Acid and Pantothenic acid.
Ocean Fish
Fish meal is an excellent source of protein and fish oil. All our fish comes from sustainable sources in the Pacific Ocean and is naturally preserved.
Poultry
Poultry meal is an excellent protein source used in our sensitive Chicken & Corn recipe and offers an alternative to a red meat diet. At Wafcol we don’t use any poultry meal from battery-reared chickens.
Corn
Corn (or maize) is an excellent carbohydrate source within an extruded diet and is often used as a replacement for wheat. Corn is used in two of our diets within the sensitive range; Chicken & Corn and Ocean Fish & Corn, however if a cereal free diet is desired our Salmon & Potato diet fulfils this need.
Soya
Soya is a natural source of plant based protein. Soya flour can be used as an alternative to wheat when a gluten free diet is required.
Joint Support
Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulphate and Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) are building blocks used in the body to help support and maintain healthy joints.
