What is a novel protein?
A novel protein is simply a protein source your dog hasn't had before. This means, if your dog has never had chicken meat before, it would be considered a novel protein. This would be unlikely, as most commercial pet foods have chicken, unless your dog is still a puppy.
A Novel Protein Diet
Novel protein diets are feeding a new protein source that hasn't been fed before.
Novel protein diets include ingredients, such as rabbit, venison, fish, duck, or kangaroo, on the theory that other pet foods rarely use these ingredients, so previous exposure is not likely.
What is SPD?
Single Protein Diets are used to help reduce allergies. Food allergies are one of the itchiest conditions known to dogs and while true food allergies are on the rise in our pets, they can be managed with diet alone. Leaders in pet nutrition recommend Single Protein Diets and Limited Ingredient Diets to help eliminate potential allergens.
The most common canine food allergens include;
- Chicken
- Beef
- Dairy
- Egg
Surprisingly, dogs aren’t naturally allergic to these items. It’s just that these are the ingredients most commonly found in many dog food recipes.
