Why Choose Our Chicken-Free Dog Food?
Just because your dog has food sensitivities, it doesn’t mean they can’t have delicious and nutritious meals that won’t upset their tummies. Many pet parents are switching to chicken-free dog food because it's easier for many pups to digest.
High-Quality Protein Sources
Instead of chicken, we focus on premium proteins full of amino acids and healthy fats. Some of our top protein sources include:
- Beef: Rich in iron and protein to help your pup maintain muscle.
- Lamb: Easy on a pup’s stomach and packed with valuable vitamins so they stay healthy.
- Fish: A great source of omega-3s to help with skin health and give your furry friend a shiny coat.
- Venison: A fantastic lean and hypoallergenic ingredient. It’s a great protein source for dogs with food sensitivities.
Supports Healthy Digestion
Traditional dog food is loaded with fillers and poultry-based proteins. However, here at California Dog Kitchen, our gently cooked meals feature digestible grains and wholesome vegetables. We use tasty, high-quality ingredients like sweet potatoes, quinoa, and carrots.
These ingredients are great for gut health, ensuring your pup absorbs all essential nutrients efficiently.
Perfect for Pups with Food Sensitivities
If your pet experiences excessive itchy skin, ear infections that keep coming back, digestive upset, and excessive paw licking, they may have a sensitivity to chicken. To help bring them relief and comfort, remove chicken from their diet altogether. Over time, you may notice improved skin health, better digestion, and more energy.

Can I Switch My Dog to Chicken-Free Food Now?
We recommend transitioning your dog’s diet gradually. You can make the switch over 10 days, but keep a close eye on your dog and their symptoms during this time.
If the diet change is causing digestive upset, like very loose stool or vomiting, slow down the transition. Here’s a general guideline you can follow:
- Days 1 - 4: Use 75% of the old food and 25% of the fresh food.
- Days 5 - 9: Use 5% of the old food and 50% of our California Dog Kitchen food.
- Days 10+: Transition to 100% of our freshly cooked food.
Is Chicken-Free Dog Food Suitable For All Breeds?
Yes, it is. Our chicken-free recipes are nutritionally balanced and appropriate for all dog breeds and life stages. All our recipes meet AAFCO and NRC guidelines, so they’re suitable for adults, puppies, and pregnant dogs.
