The Nature's Recipe StoryNature's Recipe began as a labor of love. The diets were originally created as "all-natural home cooked" meals to meet the special needs of dogs with life-threatening allergies to common pet food ingredients. This experience inspired Nature's Recipe to develop a special line of diets so dog owners could have access to natural dog foods to address special needs. Because all dogs are not the same and each dog has special nutritional needs, Nature's Recipe focuses on using natural ingredients and all-natural preservatives as the basis for developing diets to address the special needs of dogs like yours.A food allergy or dietary hypersensitivity often develops from a particular food an animal has previously consumed. A typical symptom is itchy, flaking skin on a dog's main body, ears, and paws. This can result in "hot spots", loss of coat, raw skin, and possible skin and ear infections. Dogs suffering from food allergies need a specialized diet formulated with key ingredients that they have not eaten before. This involves careful selection of grains, protein sources, fat sources, and antioxidants. Nature's Recipe created Canine Allergy Formulas to help alleviate and prevent the problems associated with allergic reactions to food and still provide the nutrition a dog needs to be healthy and happy.Allergy Vegetarian FormulaVegetarian Formula is designed for dogs that exhibit symptoms such as dry, itchy, or flaky skin. These symptoms can be caused by intolerances to common food ingredients such as beef, pork, or dairy products. Vegetarian Formula is a wholesome, complete, and balanced diet that provides your adult dog with the same essential nutrients found in diets with meat as the protein source. It is lactose-free and contains no color additives or preservatives thought to contribute to food intolerances. Vegetarian Formula is also popular with dalmatian breeders, who seek a diet low in nucleic acids.
