Why Ostrich Is the Best Protein for Dogs with Allergies

If your dog suffers from food sensitivities, skin irritations, or digestive troubles, you're not alone. Allergies are one of the most common issues dog parents face—and the culprit is often hiding in plain sight: their food or treats.

At Savannah Pet Food, we believe the right protein can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve made ostrich the hero of our product line. But what makes ostrich so special for allergy-prone dogs?

🐾 1. Hypoallergenic and Novel

Ostrich is a novel protein—meaning it's a protein your dog’s immune system is less likely to have encountered. This drastically reduces the chance of triggering an allergic reaction, making it a safe alternative to common allergens like chicken, beef, or lamb.

💪 2. Lean, Clean, and Nutrient-Dense

Ostrich is naturally low in fat and high in protein, iron, and essential amino acids. It supports:

• Lean muscle development
• Healthy skin and coat
• Sustained energy—without the bulk of fatty meats

And because it's air-dried and single-ingredient in our treats, you know exactly what you're feeding your pup.

🌾 3. No Grains, Fillers, or Weird Additives

Dogs with allergies often need to avoid not just proteins, but also grains, dairy, and soy. Every treat and chew we make is 100% grain-free, dairy-free, and additive-free. That means no fillers, no preservatives—just real, ethically-sourced ostrich.

🌍 4. Sustainably Sourced

Our ostriches are raised on wide-open alfalfa fields in South Africa, without hormones, antibiotics, corn, or soy. Ostrich farming uses far less water and land than traditional livestock, making it one of the most eco-friendly animal proteins available.

🦴 5. Chews That Are Safe for Sensitive Stomachs

Unlike bones from harder animals, ostrich bones have a unique honeycomb structure that allows them to crumble rather than splinter. This makes them a great option for allergy-prone dogs with sensitive gums or tummies—especially when supervised.
