Why goat meat is the premium choice for dogs

Goat meat is still a rarity in traditional dog diets. That is precisely what makes it so invaluable! Goat meat is considered hypoallergenic, as most dogs have never come into contact with it before. The dog’s body has therefore not developed any antibodies against this protein, making diet-related immune reactions (allergies) extremely unlikely. 

Furthermore, goat meat offers outstanding nutritional properties :

  • 100% single-protein: It contains only goat. No hidden traces of other animal species.
  • Hypoallergenic protein source: Ideal for dogs with sensitive digestive systems and those with known intolerances to beef, chicken or pork.
  • Lean & low in cholesterol: Generally highly digestible and gentle on the gastrointestinal tract – also suitable for dogs that need to watch their weight.
  • Rich in amino acids & minerals: Provides natural zinc, iron and high-quality building blocks for muscle metabolism and a healthy immune system.
  • High palatability: The delicate, mild flavour is instinctively loved even by extremely fussy dogs.

Perfectly suited for an elimination diet

If your dog is constantly scratching, suffering from loose stools or licking its paws, vets often recommend an elimination diet to identify the allergen. Our PERRO wet food with goat is the perfect choice for this.

As a consistent single-protein food, it contains only goat as its sole source of animal protein. We completely avoid hidden fillers, animal meal or unclear by-products. This gives you complete control over your dog’s food bowl and allows you to rebuild your dog’s diet step by step and with absolute confidence.

Wet food with goat – single-protein
Why is wet food containing goat ideal for dogs with food allergies?

Goat meat is used relatively rarely in dog food. For the immune systems of most dogs, it is therefore a completely unfamiliar (rare) source of protein. This means that the body has not yet developed any antibodies against it. Diet-related allergic reactions, such as itchy skin or digestive problems, can thus be naturally avoided.

Is wet goat food suitable for an elimination diet?

Yes, absolutely! A strict single-protein diet is essential for a proper elimination diet. Our PERRO wet food with goat contains only goat meat as the sole source of animal protein and is therefore ideal as a safe basis for developing a diet for your dog with allergies, in consultation with your vet.

My dog has a very sensitive stomach. Is goat meat easy to digest?

Goat meat is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, yet has a very high biological value. It does not put a strain on the gastrointestinal tract with fats that are difficult to digest and is therefore an extremely gentle, easily digestible choice for dogs with sensitive digestion or a tendency to suffer from upset stomachs.

What’s the best way to switch my sensitive dog to wet goat food?

As dogs that require goat’s milk often have sensitive stomachs anyway, we recommend a gradual transition over 5 to 7 days. To begin with, mix a small amount of the goat wet food into your dog’s current food and increase the proportion of goat each day until the meal has been completely switched over. This gives the gut flora the time it needs to adapt physiologically to the new, high-quality source of protein.
