In today’s pet nutrition landscape, dog owners are becoming more intentional about what they feed their dogs—and for good reason. With rising awareness of food sensitivities, allergies, and chronic inflammation in pets, many are seeking diets that are simple, transparent, and made with a minimal number of ingredients. This shift isn’t just about avoiding common allergens—it’s about making every ingredient count.

The Rise of Limited Ingredient Diets

Limited ingredient diets are exactly what they sound like: meals formulated with fewer components, making it easier to identify potential triggers and avoid unnecessary fillers or additives. For dogs with sensitive stomachs, skin issues, or unexplained itchiness, switching to a simplified diet can be a game-changer.

These diets offer pet owners peace of mind by making it easy to understand what’s in their dog’s bowl. With fewer ingredients, there’s less room for mystery and more room for confidence—especially when those ingredients are top-tier.

Lincoln Naturals: Simplicity with Purpose

At Lincoln Naturals, we’ve always believed that simplicity is the foundation of great nutrition. Our freeze-dried food formulas are thoughtfully created with a short list of premium, USDA food-grade ingredients that dogs not only love but thrive on. Each complete, balanced recipe includes high-quality animal proteins, nutrient-dense organ meats, omega-rich wild salmon and eggs, and a carefully selected blend of superfoods.

Here’s what you’ll never find in our food:

• No meat meals or by-products

• No grains, starches, corn, soy, or rice

• No synthetic preservatives, colors, or flavors

• No fillers—just real, recognizable food

Instead, we focus on a purposeful ingredient list, where each component delivers a clear health benefit. Our Chicken with Superfoods and Beef with Superfoods formulas, for example, include:

• 96% animal-based ingredients for optimal protein and fat content

• Broccoli, carrots, and berries for powerful antioxidants

• Mushrooms and turmeric to support immune function

• Herbs like rosemary and cinnamon for anti-inflammatory support

With each ingredient carefully selected to support your dog’s body—especially for dogs battling allergies, inflammation, or even more serious conditions like cancer—our food offers maximum nutritional impact with zero fluff.

When Less Truly Is More

Dogs don’t need a long list of synthetic additives to be healthy. What they do need is species-appropriate, real food nutrition—and that’s exactly what we provide.

So if you’re searching for a simple, honest, and biologically appropriate way to nourish your dog—whether they have sensitivities or you just want to feed them the best—Lincoln Naturals is your answer.
