Understanding Chicken & Poultry Sensitivities in Dogs – And how Just 6 can help

Understanding Chicken & Poultry Sensitivities in Dogs – And how Just 6 can help

For many pet parents, ensuring their dog gets the right nutrition is a top priority. But what happens when your dog starts experiencing itchy skin, upset stomachs, or general discomfort, and you can’t figure out why? One of the lesser-known culprits could be chicken or poultry sensitivities, and it’s more common than you might think.

What Are Chicken & Poultry Sensitivities?

Just like humans, dogs can develop sensitivities or intolerances to certain foods, and chicken is one of the more frequent offenders. While not every dog will react negatively to chicken or poultry fat, for those that do, symptoms can range from mild to more troublesome, including:

  • Itchy skin or recurrent ear infections
  • Gastrointestinal issues like gas, bloating, or loose stools
  • Lethargy or discomfort after eating

These reactions can make mealtimes stressful for both pets and their humans. And the tricky part? Many commercial dog foods, even those that don’t list chicken on the front, may still contain chicken fat or poultry by-products.

The Case for Single Protein Recipes

That’s where single-protein recipes come in. These formulas include only one animal protein source, helping pet parents manage their dog’s sensitivities with greater confidence. For dogs who can’t tolerate chicken, feeding a diet that’s free from poultry altogether is essential for long-term health and well-being.

At Harringtons, we’ve made it simple.

These thoughtfully formulated recipes contain just six carefully selected ingredients, offering complete and balanced nutrition without unnecessary extras. It’s peace of mind in a bowl.
