Limited ingredient dog food is a type of dog food formulated with a minimal number of ingredients to cater to dogs with food sensitivities, allergies, or digestive issues. These products are designed to eliminate potential allergens and irritants commonly found in regular dog foods. The idea behind limited ingredient dog food is to simplify the diet and make it easier for pet owners to identify and manage any food-related problems their dogs may have.
Key features of limited ingredient dog food typically include:
It's important to note that while limited ingredient dog food can be beneficial for dogs with specific dietary issues, not all dogs require it. If your dog doesn't have any known food sensitivities or allergies, a well-balanced regular dog food that meets their nutritional needs is perfectly fine.
We might be a little biased here but at Kabo we like to think that we have created some fresh cooked recipes that are not only limited ingredients but also healthy and nutritional for your pup. At Kabo, we only formulate with ingredients that serve a nutritional purpose, that means no fillers or additives! All of our recipes are broken down into 5 basic ingredients; a single protein, a carbohydrate (both grain containing and grain free options available), a fruit, a veggie, a source of fat, and a nutrient mix that we formulate in-house.
The recipe that we recommend to most pet owners that have dogs with sensitivities or allergies is the Hypoallergenic Salmon Recipe. This recipe excludes all common dog allergens and replaces them with hypoallergenic and anti-inflammatory ingredients like blueberries, flaxseed and butternut squash.

Always remember that each dog is unique, and what works well for one may not suit another, so it's vital to monitor your dog's response to the chosen food and make adjustments as needed to ensure they maintain optimal health and well-being.
