Are Tuggs meals grain free?

Grain-free dog food

Updated over 2 months ago

At Tuggs, we’re all about giving your pet the best nutrition possible - without unnecessary grains like wheat, rice, corn, or soy.


In some of our recipes we use quinoa, a powerhouse ingredient that’s packed with all the good stuff your furry friend needs. Quinoa is actually a seed, not a grain. It's classified as a pseudo-cereal, meaning it's cooked and eaten like a grain but doesn’t come from the grass family like wheat, corn, or rice.

Quinoa isn't just any ingredient - it's a complete protein, meaning it has all the essential amino acids dogs need to stay strong and healthy. Plus, it’s super easy to digest, making it perfect for pups with sensitive stomachs. Not to mention, it’s loaded with fibre, vitamins, and minerals like iron and magnesium to keep your dog feeling their best.

Since quinoa is naturally gluten-free and has a low glycemic index, it’s a great option for dogs with food sensitivities or those who need a little extra help managing blood sugar levels. And bonus- it’s got antioxidants that help fight inflammation, which can be great for pups dealing with joint issues.

Quinoa also helps to absorb excess moisture created when our meals are cooking in the oven, helping to improve the consistency of our recipes and make them easier for you to serve.

Choosing Tuggs means you’re giving your pet a tasty, balanced meal that keeps them happy and healthy. No unnecessary fillers - just top-quality ingredients designed with your dog's well-being in mind!
