Food for Gluten-Sensitive Dogs Considered One of Best of 2008

I know this is a site for celiacs, but many of you may know dogs suffer from gluten sensitivity as well. Today, PupLife.com is recognizing a company for its specialty food for gluten-sensitive dogs.

The product is Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Raw Dog Food — “Keen” brand.  The news release that came out this morning says the company “…combines the wholesomeness of a homemade diet with the convenience of an easy-to-prepare, scientifically balanced blend.” I know of two families who have to watch gluten in their dogs! The Keen brand, which won the award, is a “low-gluten” dog food.  But I did find a gluten-free version on Honest Kitchen’s website called “Thrive”. 

Apparently my puppy loves gluten-free food judging from the gluten-free cookies she ate off my counter while we were at Christmas Eve services (Santa had to have a gluten-free rice krispie bar instead) and the gluten-free chocolate cake she ate last fall.

If you have someone who’s dog seems to be sensitive to certain foods, this may be the time to try something different!
