Pure Ostrich Wet Dog Food (Africa)

Pure Ostrich contains 100% ostrich meat and offal and nothing else, a rare novel protein for dogs that react to everyday meats.

With no soy, grain or vegetable additives and a single protein source, it's a clean elimination-diet food that's also gentle enough for daily feeding. Vitamins and minerals complete the recipe.

• 100% ostrich, single novel protein
• Free from soy, grain and vegetable additives
• Complete and balanced
• For allergies and sensitive stomachs

Why ostrich?

Food sensitivity is usually a reaction to a protein the dog has eaten many times before. Chicken and beef are in almost everything, so by the time a dog is itching, they have had years of exposure. Ostrich is a protein most UK dogs have simply never encountered, which is what makes it useful: there is nothing there for the immune system to have learned to react to.

If you are already feeding the dry Happy Dog Africa ostrich kibble, this is the same protein in wet form, so you can feed both without reintroducing anything new.

About Happy Dog

Happy Dog is a German family brand made in Wehringen, Bavaria by Interquell, with pet-food expertise dating back to 1965. The Pure range follows one rule: one protein, nothing else. No soy, no grain, no vegetable fillers, no hidden meats. That sounds austere, and it is, deliberately. It exists so that a vet or an owner running an exclusion diet knows precisely what has gone into the bowl.

Questions, answered

Is this a complete food or a topper?
Complete and balanced, with added vitamins and minerals. It can be fed as the whole meal or mixed with a matching dry food.

Which dogs is it for?
Dogs with food allergies, itchy skin or easily upset stomachs, and any dog on a vet-directed elimination diet. It also suits dogs who are simply fussy about everyday meats.

How do I switch my dog onto it?
Over about seven days, mixing a little more of the new food into the old each day. A slow transition is gentler on a sensitive stomach, and it also makes it obvious if something disagrees.

How much should I feed?
Use the guide on the tin as a starting point and adjust to keep your dog at a healthy weight. Always leave fresh water down.

Can I feed it alongside dry food?
Yes. Pairing it with the ostrich dry food keeps the diet single-protein throughout, which is the point of an exclusion diet.

How should I store an opened tin?
Cover it, refrigerate, and use within about two days. Let it come up to room temperature before serving.

When will it arrive?
Dispatched within 1 to 2 working days, with free UK delivery on orders over £30.
