Why Choose Dr John Grain Free Chicken & Potato?

Many working dog owners ask: what is the best grain-free dog food for dogs with food intolerances? This recipe removes all the most common dietary triggers — grain, wheat, wheat gluten, dairy, and soya — while keeping chicken as a high-inclusion primary protein at 33%. The addition of chicken gravy, mixed herbs (sage, oregano, mint, rosemary, turmeric, and ginger), and linseed makes this one of the most palatable and nutritionally rich recipes in the Dr John hypoallergenic range.

The inclusion of New Zealand green-lipped mussel extract sets this recipe apart, providing natural glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint health — particularly valuable for active and working dogs.

Please note: this recipe is formulated without grain but is made on a line that handles grain.
