Dr John Hypoallergenic Activ Working Dog Food 12.5kg

If you're looking for the best high-energy hypoallergenic dog food for working dogs, Dr John Hypoallergenic Activ delivers everything your dog needs to perform at their peak. Formulated specifically for racing greyhounds, sled dogs, working gun dogs, and dogs in extreme activity, this premium dry dog food combines 40% chicken with an elevated nutritional profile of 30% protein and 20% fat — giving hard-working dogs the fuel they need to go further, recover faster, and stay in top condition.

Made in the UK with locally sourced ingredients where possible, and completely free from artificial colours, flavours, and sugars, Dr John Hypoallergenic Activ is a food you can trust.

Why Choose Dr John Hypoallergenic Activ?

Many working dog owners ask: what is the best dog food for working dogs with allergies? Dr John Hypoallergenic Activ answers that question directly. By using a single high-quality protein source — dehydrated chicken (40%) — and avoiding common allergens like wheat, this hypoallergenic dog food significantly reduces the risk of adverse food reactions while still delivering the high-calorie nutrition that active dogs demand.

At 400 kcal per 100g, this is one of the most energy-dense hypoallergenic dog foods available in the UK — ideal for dogs burning serious calories every day.

Key Benefits

40% dehydrated chicken — premium single-protein source, ideal for dogs with food sensitivities
30% protein & 20% fat — elevated nutritional profile for peak performance and recovery
400 kcal/100g — high energy density for racing, sledge, hunting & extreme activity dogs
New Zealand green-lipped mussel extract — natural joint support for active and working dogs
Salmon oil (2%) & linseed — essential fatty acids for healthy skin and a glossy coat
No artificial colours, flavours or sugars — clean, natural nutrition as standard
Made in the UK with locally sourced ingredients and recyclable packaging

Is Dr John Hypoallergenic Activ Good for Dogs with Allergies?

Yes — this formula is specifically designed as a hypoallergenic dog food. It avoids wheat and other common dietary triggers, using carefully selected natural ingredients that are gentle on sensitive digestive systems. If your dog suffers from itchy skin, digestive upset, or recurring food intolerances, switching to a hypoallergenic working dog food like this can make a significant difference.

Can This Dog Food Be Used for Recovery?

Absolutely. The high protein and fat content makes Dr John Hypoallergenic Activ an excellent choice not just for dogs in hard work, but also for dogs recovering from intense physical activity or periods of extreme exertion. The added green-lipped mussel extract provides natural support for joints under stress, while the balanced omega fatty acids from salmon oil aid tissue recovery and coat condition.
