Gluten-free dog food: what to know and how to choose it
Do you want to buy gluten-free dog food for your furry friend? In this article, you will find out everything you need to know about this special food and how to choose the best food!
Have you noticed that your dog has trouble digesting his kibble? Are you worried that he may have celiac disease? Then you're in the right place!
How to Understand That Your Dog Needs a Gluten Free Diet
First of all, it is important to know that celiac disease in dogs appears between 3 and 6 months of age .
It can be relatively easy to notice this little problem, in fact there are several symptoms that can appear in your four-legged friend.
Among the main ones we find:
- Frequent vomiting and diarrhea ;
- Sudden weight loss and low vitality;
- Frequent sneezing , a symptom of irritation in the nose and throat;
Persistent itching : if we notice that the dog tends to scratch, especially in the anal area, it is likely that he suffers from celiac disease; - Convulsions .
If you notice one or more of these disorders, the best thing to do is to go immediately to the vet, who will confirm or deny the intolerance and, if the answer is yes, will advise you to adapt your dog's diet to make it totally gluten-free.
In fact, there are several gluten-free dog biscuits available on the market, such as those from Aldog® , which offers two lines dedicated to dogs with this disorder.
Aldog® gluten free dog biscuits
The levels of gluten intolerance in dogs are not all the same . In fact, there are cases in which the consumption of cereal-containing kibble must be absolutely avoided due to the strong disorders it can cause, but there are also situations in which the intolerance is much milder, so it is sufficient to reduce the amount of gluten to make our dog feel better, without necessarily removing it completely.
Regarding the first case, Aldog® has created a new line of kibble for dogs intolerant to gluten .
Aldog® Grain Free
Aldog® Grain Free is the gluten-free dog food line, perfect for all our four-legged friends with some celiac disease problems.

The products in this line are intended for dogs that have difficulty digesting gluten and are characterised by a minimal quantity of cereals, often whole grain or in any case with a very low gluten content.
