Why go for grain-free kibble?
The dog food market can be tricky to find your way around in if all you want is to give your dog the very best. However, one rule of thumb is that you generally get what you pay for.
If your dog switches to a high-quality grain-free kibble like ESSENTIALS, you’re likely to notice positive changes in your dog’s well-being.
Here are some factors to consider when looking for a new dog food
The choice between grain-free and run-of-the-mill kibble depends largely on your dog’s specific needs. Some dogs may have grain intolerance or allergy, which makes grain-free meals a better solution, while other dogs have no problems on a grain-based diet. The quality of the kibble is also a big factor given that not all ingredients are ideal.
There are many benefits to grain-free kibble
Allergy-friendly
More and more dogs are found to have allergies, just like us people. Grain-free dry meals are a good solution as they provide the natural nutrition a dog would enjoy if living in the wild. Our meals are primarily made with large amounts of meat, fish and healthy greens, which give your dog the protein, vitamins and minerals they need.
Digestion-friendly
Grain-free kibble is also gentle on the canine digestive system, especially if you go for a premium-quality variety composed of fresh ingredients for a naturally digestible diet.
Breath-friendly
Halitosis, or bad breath, is a common problem in many dogs, and may be due to multiple factors, including their diet. If your dog’s breath is less than fragrant, it may help to switch to a grain-free kibble without fillers, made with premium ingredients.
Energy-friendly
Grain-free kibble gives your dog stable energy, as it cuts out the empty carbs that instantly get converted into sugar, causing a short-term energy spike. When your dog is getting the right nutrition, they also get the energy needed for keeping active and happy.
Grain-free kibble for all breeds, sizes and life phases
GRAIN-FREE MEALS, FROM PUPPIES TO SENIORS
Grain-free meals for puppies
Looking for the ideal kibble for your puppy? We recommend going grain-free. From the outset, ESSENTIALS has focused on creating grain-free meals for puppies because of all the benefits. Bearing in mind that small and large breeds have different nutritional needs, you should choose kibble to match your dog. We offer ESSENTIAL the BEGINNING for puppies reaching an adult weight of 15 kg, and ESSENTIAL the BEGINNING LARGE BREED for those weighing more than 15 kg.
Grain-free meals for adult dogs
Looking for the ideal kibble for your adult dog? From the outset, ESSENTIALS has focused on creating grain-free meals for adult dogs because of all the benefits. Our entire LIVING range has been developed for adult dogs with a normal activity level, and to cater to every flavour preference. Our different varieties are packed with fresh meat, fish, vegetables, berries, fruit and herbs. And naturally grain-free, too. They are also prepared on the basis of our BOF principle to keep your dog’s blood sugar stable.
Grain-free kibble for weight loss or sterilised/ neutered dogs
Grain-free kibble is a great option for dogs that have problems maintaining a healthy weight, as long as the grains are replaced by protein-rich ingredients instead of starchy fillers.
Sterilised and neutered dogs may also benefit from a grain-free diet. After the procedure, your dog is likely to need 30% less calories, while their appetite may well increase. That combined effect may be tricky to overcome, but grain-free meals like our CONTOUR address the issue by avoiding starchy grains, and instead using low-calorie ingredients like chicken.
Let customers speak for us
My mini dachshund is a picky eater and has allergy reactions easily. After switching to Essentials Estate , She has always looked forward to her meals and there is a noticeable improvement to her coat and skin . I’m very satisfied with this product.
My Maltese is a picky eater. He has been on cooked food diet since young. Due to health issues, I had to covert him to kibbles. This is one of the kibbles he is willing to eat. After taking the kibbles, his past health issues had also been in remission.
My dog has been loving this kibble! She can be a little fussy with her food, so it honestly makes me happy seeing her get excited at mealtimes and finish her bowl. I’m really pleased with the quality too, and it’s something I feel good about giving her regularly. I’d definitely recommend it to other dog parents looking for a good everyday kibble!
Willing to replace the entire batch due to an issue with one of the patches, with delivery arranged on the same day. They also provide free samples for my dog as well.
Good food for our Labrador puppy!
Quality ingredients and it actually smell good ! My cat likes this and it has been good for her stomach too . She has a very sensitive stomach and this has actually helped her bowel movements and she has not had any diarrhea since starting this . Just hope the fussy cat continues to like it !
Bailey my puppy loves his food. I am glad to know that Essential Food is made with high quality produce and doesn’t contain the by products of meats.

My dogs really like the food. They are usually very picky with their food.
Food is great. My dog loves it. Highly recommend.
Made the switch to Essential foods because I was concerned with the filler ingredients in the kibbles sold at mass supermarkets. Reading the ingredient used in Essential kibbles makes me feel confident that it will provide my two cats the nutrients and protein that they need. Also my two cats love the taste of the kibbles, even the fussy one!
