Allergy-Friendly Treats

Most dog treat reactions come down to two things: a protein the dog's immune system already recognises as a problem (usually beef or chicken), or a filler ingredient hiding in an otherwise "natural" product. Every Cooee K9 treat is single-ingredient by design, which makes elimination diets and allergy management far simpler: what's on the label is genuinely all that's in the pack.

For dogs with a confirmed or suspected protein allergy, novel proteins that haven't been in a dog's diet before are the usual starting point vets recommend for an elimination trial.

Novel proteins for elimination diets

• Kangaroo: lean, wild-sourced, rarely used in commercial dog food
• Rabbit: a genuine novel protein for most Australian dogs
• Veal: different amino acid profile to standard beef
• Goat: uncommon protein source, good rotation option
• Duck: a common vet-recommended alternative to chicken and beef

If you're not sure which protein is triggering a reaction, talk to your vet about a proper elimination trial before switching. Every product on this site lists its single ingredient clearly so you know exactly what you're introducing.
