Why Novel Protein Makes a Difference

At Brothers, we know that for dogs with allergies or sensitive tummies, what’s not in the bowl can matter as much as what is. That’s why our novel protein recipes, made with either Lamb Meal & Egg or Venison Meal & Egg, offer a fresh, gentle approach to digestion and wellbeing.

Novel proteins are thoughtfully chosen ingredients your dog hasn’t eaten before - making them less likely to trigger reactions. In our line-up, venison stands out as a true novel source suited for pups with sensitivities, supported by added digestive enzymes and probiotics to ease digestion and soothe the gut.

Meet the Gentle All-Stars

Lamb Meal & Egg

A gentle, tummy-friendly recipe made with easily digestible lamb meal and nutrient-rich eggs. This grain-free formula provides complete, balanced nutrition while being kind to sensitive stomachs - making mealtime both nourishing and comforting.

Venison Meal & Egg

Our signature novel protein recipe features lean, nutrient-rich venison - an uncommon ingredient in most pet foods. This makes it an excellent choice for dogs with allergies, skin sensitivities, or those undergoing food elimination trials.

FAQs

At Brothers Dog Food, we believe every bowl should nurture from the inside out - and that starts with choosing ingredients your dog’s body truly welcomes. A novel protein is a fresh protein source, like venison or lamb, that your pup hasn’t encountered before. These proteins are less likely to trigger sensitivities or upset little tummies because they’re new to your dog’s system. With their gentle nature and richer array of nutrients, novel proteins often soothe digestive and skin troubles while bringing fresh excitement to mealtime. If switching to one feels right, let’s do it together - gradually, carefully, and always guided by trusted veterinary advice.

Dogs often develop sensitivities from repeated exposure to the same proteins. By introducing a protein that’s new to their system, you significantly reduce the odds of triggering food-related allergies or digestive upset.

  • More gentle on their digestive system: Novel proteins tend to be easier for sensitive tummies to handle.
  • Nutritional variety: New proteins bring fresh amino acids and nutrients into your dog’s diet, contributing to overall well-being.
  • Keeps mealtime exciting: A new flavor can lift a fussy eater’s spirits and spark wagging tails at every bowl.

Often during elimination trials - when a pup is dealing with unexplained itching, chronic ear infections, or tummy trouble - veterinarians may suggest a novel protein as part of a focused diet to help pinpoint what ingredients are at fault.
