Grain-free dog food is better in Ireland because it is a healthier option for your pet. Grain-free dog food is made with high quality ingredients that are not processed and contain no grains. Grain-free dog foods are also more digestible for your pet, which means they will have less gas and stomach issues.
At Essential Foods we take pride in the fact that all our dog food is grain-free. So why is grain free better for your dog?
When talking about your dog's health, grain-free dog food is a better option because when you take out the grain that other brands use as a cheap filler, and add in more nutritious ingredients like fresh meat, dehydrated meat, fruit and veg, your dog gets a better balanced, nutritious diet that will help them thrive.

So it comes down to common sense — where grain is not "bad" for your dog, it is not what's best for your dog. Would you like your dog to have a balanced grain-free diet of high meat content food, with appropriate fruit and veg, or would you like your dog to be fed meat-flavoured grain?
