Grain Free Dog Food for Sale (Hong Kong)

Grain free dog food is gaining popularity these days.  These high protein and low carbohydrate diets (carbohydrate level is usually lower in grain free diet but not absolutely true) are usually more palatable than traditional kibble due to the higher meat content. Some grain free dog foods use limited ingredients (e.g. single meat source) to reduce the chance of food allergies.  Grain free dog food also has other benefits such as healthier skin, shinier coat, smaller stool, more energy.  

Not all dogs thrive on grain free dog food.  Dogs with kidney and liver diseases, pancreatitis need to eat a restricted protein and/or fat diet.  It is better to consult your veterinarian if your dog has special need.  Some dogs may have stinky and loose stool when switched from traditional kibble with grains to grain free diet.  Remember to make the switch gradually over 7-10 days.  

Even though grain free diet may help with food allergies, sometimes it may not solve the problem.  In such case, you can consider feeding hypoallergenic dog food made with hydrolyzed protein and simple ingredients.
