Why do you use Turkey and not Chicken in your dog formulas?

Statistics show that dogs with allergies to meat are most commonly allergic to beef and chicken protein (not the ‘fat’). We wanted our customers to have one less thing to worry about so we simply did not include Chicken protein in any of our dog formulas, nor did we include beef.  If your pet is hyper-sensitive to chicken in general but does well with Lamb then we would recommend our Lamb & Chickpeas diet which doesn’t utilize chicken fat or chicken protein.  One thing many people do not know is that Turkey & Salmon are very high in 2 special amino acids: Tryptophan & Tyrosine.  Both assist neurotransmitters in the brain resulting in stress reduction, improved mental alertness and mood, which also helps with anxiety all while reducing carbohydrate cravings. This may explain why you want to fall asleep after you ate all that turkey during Thanksgiving!
