Hypoallergenic Pet Food: Why WholeBuddy's Peptide+ Range Is the Smart Choice for Sensitive Dogs
We've all been there - watching our beloved pup scratch endlessly, dealing with another bout of tummy troubles, or feeling helpless when their usual zest for life seems dimmed by digestive discomfort. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. As fellow dog lovers, we know how hard it can be to see your furry family member struggling with food sensitivities.
That's exactly why we created our Peptide+ Range - premium hypoallergenic pet food designed with sensitive tummies and delicate systems in mind. Because every dog deserves to feel their absolute best, from nose to tail.
What Is Hypoallergenic Pet Food, Really?
Let's start with the basics (no judgment if you're still figuring this out - we've all been beginners!). Hypoallergenic pet food is specially crafted to minimise the risk of allergic reactions and digestive upsets. Think of it as the gentle giant of the dog food world.
Unlike many pet foods on the market that might include common troublemakers like wheat, dairy, soy, and artificial nasties, hypoallergenic recipes focus on novel proteins and limited ingredients. It's like creating a peaceful environment for your dog's digestive system - less chaos, more harmony.
Our Peptide+ Range takes this approach seriously. We've carefully selected highly digestible protein sources and said a firm "no thanks" to artificial preservatives, colours, and unnecessary fillers. Your dog's tummy will thank you for it.

Why Every Dog Parent Is Talking About Hypoallergenic Pet Food
Here's something that might surprise you: the demand for hypoallergenic pet food in the UK has absolutely soared, with over 8,100 monthly searches. And honestly? We're not surprised.
More dog parents are becoming detectives when it comes to their pup's wellbeing, recognising those telltale signs of food intolerances:
- Itchy, uncomfortable skin that has them scratching like there's no tomorrow
- Upset tummies that leave everyone feeling miserable
- Excessive licking (beyond the usual "I love you" licks)
- Recurring ear infections
- Chronic diarrhoea that disrupts everyone's routine
The good news? Often, a simple switch to gentle, grain-free, hypoallergenic pet food can be absolutely life-changing. That's where our WholeBuddy Peptide+ Range comes in - we've crafted it with both flavour and sensitivity in mind, because compromise shouldn't be necessary.
Meet the Peptide+ Range: The Hypoallergenic Hero Your Dog Deserves
Whether you're a seasoned dog parent who could write a book on pet nutrition, or you're welcoming your first furry friend home, our WholeBuddy Peptide+ Range has been designed for every life stage - all while being incredibly gentle on sensitive systems.
Here's what makes our Peptide+ recipes genuinely special (and we're not just saying that because we're proud parents):
Hydrolysed Proteins: The Science-y Bit That Actually Matters
This is where things get clever. Each Peptide+ recipe features hydrolysed proteins - essentially, we've done the hard work for your dog's digestive system by breaking proteins down into tiny, easily recognised fragments (peptides) using our Freshtrusion HDP technology. Think of it as pre-chewing, but much more sophisticated.
This makes it significantly easier for your dog's immune system to say "yes, please!" rather than "absolutely not, thank you." It follows what we like to call the "Goldilocks Principle" - not too big (intact proteins), not too small (individual amino acids), but just right (di and tri-peptides). It's particularly brilliant for dogs with diagnosed allergies or those mysterious sensitivities that keep you both up at night.
100% Grain-Free: Because Some Tummies Just Can't Handle It
Grains can be proper troublemakers for sensitive dogs, and we totally get that. That's why our entire range is completely grain-free - no wheat, no corn, no "maybe it'll be fine this time."
Instead, we've chosen nutritious alternatives like sweet potato and lentils for sustained energy without the drama. Plus, this helps us connect with fellow dog parents searching for "grain-free dog food".
Three Targeted Solutions: Because Every Dog's Needs Are Different
We know that not all sensitivities are the same, which is why our Peptide+ range offers three specifically formulated varieties, each designed to tackle different health concerns:
WholeBuddy Peptide+ GastroIntestinal Digestive Care (Turkey)
Perfect for dogs with ongoing tummy troubles, sensitive stomachs, or those recovering from digestive upsets. Features freshly prepared hydrolysed turkey (26%) with an impressive 95% protein digestibility rate (proven in Ghent University Vet School feeding studies). Includes postbiotic support with TruPet™ to nourish the gut microbiome and lignocellulose to enhance nutrient absorption. If your pup struggles with loose stools, food sensitivities, or general digestive discomfort, this is your go-to choice.
WholeBuddy Peptide+ Skin & Coat (Salmon)
Designed for dogs dealing with itchy skin, dull coats, or allergic reactions that show up on the surface. Made with freshly prepared hydrolysed salmon (35%) and enriched with salmon oil, algae, borage oil, and soya oil for optimal Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acid balance. This formula has helped 75% of dogs show visible skin and coat improvements in Vista Pet study trials. Perfect for those persistent scratchers and dogs who just can't seem to get that healthy glow.
Peptide+ Weight Control & Joint Care (White Fish)
Ideal for dogs who need to shed a few pounds or are showing signs of joint stiffness. This freshly prepared hydrolysed white fish (26%) recipe is formulated as a high-protein (29%), low-fat (9%) diet with added L-Carnitine to encourage fat oxidation. Includes Green Lipped Mussel for natural joint support and has helped 90% of dogs achieve a healthier weight in clinical trials by Dr Des Groome MVB, MBS. Great for older dogs, larger breeds, or any pup who's been a bit too enthusiastic about treats.
Single Protein Sources: The Science Behind the Simplicity
Each variety focuses on just one protein source - no mixing, no confusion, no guessing games. This approach is absolutely perfect for elimination diets, allowing you to easily identify what works (and what doesn't) for your particular pup. It's like having a clear conversation with your dog's digestive system.
The Extra Mile: Superfoods and Functional Ingredients
We couldn't stop at just "gentle on the tummy" - that's not the WholeBuddy way. Our hypoallergenic pet food blends include thoughtful additions like:
- Omega 3 supplements for that glossy coat that makes other dog parents slightly jealous
- Prebiotics (FOS & MOS) for a happy, healthy gut microbiome
- Joint care blends with glucosamine and chondroitin for those important creaky bits
- Natural antioxidants from vegetables and herbs, because every dog deserves their five-a-day too
Perfect for Every Dog, Every Stage, Every Size
From bouncing puppies to distinguished seniors, tiny terriers to gentle giants - the Peptide+ Range genuinely caters to all. Each formula is nutritionally complete and veterinary approved, making it brilliant for long-term feeding without any nutritional gaps or worries.
