Why Hypoallergenic Treats Are Great for Every Dog’s Health

We all love spoiling our dogs with a treat (or five), but if your pup starts itching, scratching, or having tummy troubles after snack time, their treats might be to blame. That’s where hypoallergenic dog treats come in—and at Nourished Pets, we’ve got a deliciously natural range designed with sensitive pups in mind.

But don’t worry—these aren’t just for dogs with allergies. In fact, hypoallergenic treats are becoming the go-to for health-conscious owners who want cleaner, simpler ingredients in their dog’s diet.

What Are Hypoallergenic Treats?

Put simply, hypoallergenic treats offer a reduced risk of allergic reactions. That means:

No grains
No artificial colours or preservatives
No dairy, wheat, or soy
No common meats like beef or chicken (unless tolerated)

Instead, we use novel proteins—meats that most dogs haven’t been exposed to, which makes them less likely to trigger allergies or intolerances. They're ideal for dogs with sensitive stomachs, skin conditions, or food sensitivities, and a great alternative for dogs who need a cleaner, more digestible snack.

What Novel Proteins Do We Use?

At Nourished Pets, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of hypoallergenic treats made with premium, novel proteins, including:

Rabbit – Lean, natural, and gentle on digestion.
Kangaroo – A low-fat, nutrient-rich protein that’s perfect for dogs with common meat allergies.
Venison – High in iron and protein, venison is a great alternative to beef.
Duck – Rich in flavour and easier to digest than more common poultry.
Goat – A fantastic hypoallergenic option that's full of nutrients and rarely causes reactions.
Ostrich – A low-fat, high-protein meat that’s ideal for dogs needing something truly novel.

These proteins aren’t just allergy-friendly—they’re genuinely delicious and nutritious, and many dogs find them irresistible.

Does My Dog Need Hypoallergenic Treats?

Not necessarily—but they might benefit from them more than you’d think.

Signs your dog may be reacting to common ingredients include:

Itchy skin or constant scratching
Ear infections or frequent head shaking
Tummy upset, diarrhoea, or vomiting
Excessive paw licking
Gassiness or bloating

If your dog shows any of these symptoms—or if you just want a cleaner, healthier treat—hypoallergenic options are a smart move.

Even dogs without allergies can enjoy the benefits of limited-ingredient, grain-free treats with no artificial nonsense.

Why Some Dogs Might Not Love Them (Right Away)

Let’s be real—some dogs are picky, especially if they’ve been spoiled with treats packed full of artificial flavours and sugars.

Hypoallergenic treats are natural, minimally processed, and scented with real meat—not synthetic flavours—so they might not have that junk food appeal. But with a little encouragement (and maybe some food toppers), most dogs adapt quickly and come to love their new healthy snacks.

And once you see the difference in their skin, coat, and digestion, you’ll love them too.
