Limited Ingredient Dog Food: What It Is and Why It Matters

Limited Ingredient Dog Food: What It Is and Why It Matters

If your dog struggles with food sensitivities, skin issues, or digestive problems, their diet could be the key to relief. Limited ingredient dog food is designed to minimize the number of components in each recipe, making it easier to identify and avoid potential triggers. At Wildridge Family Farms, every pâté is crafted with a short, transparent ingredient list to support your dog’s health.

What Counts as Limited Ingredient?

Limited ingredient dog food contains fewer total ingredients, focusing on high-quality sources of protein and essential nutrients. Our recipes feature 95% meat & organ meat in broth from a single protein source, pork, beef, chicken, or turkey, alongside select vitamins, minerals, and healthy oils.

Why Fewer Ingredients Can Be Better

1. Reduced Risk of Allergies
   With fewer potential allergens, your dog’s immune system has less to react to.
2. Gentler on the Stomach
   Simple recipes can help reduce digestive upset, gas, or diarrhea.
3. Clear Ingredient Transparency
   You know exactly what your dog is eating without hidden fillers or mixed proteins.
4. Easier Allergy Testing
   If your dog reacts to food, limited ingredient diets make it simpler to pinpoint the cause.

Who Can Benefit from Limited Ingredient Diets

• Dogs with itchy skin or hot spots
• Dogs with chronic ear infections
• Dogs with recurring digestive issues
• Picky eaters who prefer simple, meat-focused meals
