Reasons for Sensitive Meat Varieties for Dogs
Rare meat varieties in food? Why should you feed your dog exotic meats like ostrich, kangaroo, or water buffalo? Well, the numerous benefits of these rather unknown meat types speak for themselves:
The main argument is that the meat is particularly suitable for many →allergy sufferers and sensitive dogs, who have digestive problems. Lean, exotic varieties are also gladly fed to overweight dogs. Of course, it can also be fed to all dogs that have no health issues.
And taste-wise? Sensitive meat varieties can also convince here! Whether as BARF or in dry and wet food – horse meat, kangaroo, water buffalo & co. can be easily integrated into the diet and are enjoyed by many dogs.

Ostrich, Kangaroo, Water Buffalo - Why Feed Exotic Meat?
When the dog's belly practically grumbles 24/7 and the itching simply doesn't subside, it often indicates a food allergy or intolerance in dogs.
To help the dog, the common remedy is now a →diet change combined with an elimination diet. During this period, a rare and exotic meat type is fed for several weeks. Why? The likelihood that your pet will have an allergic reaction to a type of meat that has never been fed to it before is unlikely.
Sensitive means nothing other than "sensitive" - it refers to meat types for sensitive dogs that tend to have intolerances.

What Does "Hypoallergenic" Mean in Dog Food?
Then there's the fact that some of the sensitive meat varieties we are about to introduce to you are also hypoallergenic. Uff, and what does that mean? Roughly speaking, it means that dogs and cats react less to the protein components in these meat types than to varieties like beef or chicken.
Hypoallergenic thus describes a meat type whose allergy-triggering properties are "below the normal level" of other meat types. With hypoallergenic meat, the likelihood is lower that your pet's body will develop an overreaction after feeding. Furthermore, there are of course also hypoallergenic vegetables and fruits, but in this article, we will only take a closer look at the meat types.

Popular Sensitive Meat Varieties for Dogs at a Glance
Whether as a BARF menu or processed in wet or dry food - there are several sensitive meat varieties. This is good because just because a meat type is "hypoallergenic" or "sensitive" does not mean that your dog tolerates horse meat just as well as lamb. This way, you can gradually test during the elimination diet until you find a meat type that your dog tolerates well.
The following exotic meat types are considered sensitive:
Horse
Horse meat is not very commonly found in conventional food. The likelihood that your four-legged friend has developed an allergy or intolerance to this hypoallergenic meat type is not very high. Thus, it is well-suited for allergies or intolerances. Horse meat also boasts a very low fat content, is low in cholesterol, and is rich in proteins.

Lamb
Lamb meat is also particularly well-suited for allergy sufferers. The rumen from lamb is a good alternative for allergy sufferers to beef rumen, as it also contains high-quality protein, many vitamins and minerals. However, in terms of smell, it is (fortunately) not inferior to beef rumen.

Venison
Venison, just like kangaroo meat and horse, is hypoallergenic and thus a particularly good choice for sensitive and allergic animals. The aromatic game meat is particularly popular with many cats and dogs. The venison liver is a good alternative to beef liver and contains particularly many vitamins and minerals.

Water Buffalo
The meat is darker than what one is used to from beef and is rather short-fibered. Buffalo meat is suitable for allergy sufferers and those with intolerances, is really tasty and healthy. The meat is gaining popularity not only due to its good taste – it also has health benefits.
It has much lower cholesterol and fat values than beef, is low in calories, and contains much more iron and protein. Both the milk of the buffalo and the meat contain high doses of vitamin A, D, minerals, calcium, and are thus overall cholesterol-lowering.

Kangaroo
Kangaroo meat is particularly juicy, low in cholesterol and a rare protein source in dog food, making it very suitable for dogs with allergies. The hypoallergenic meat has a fat content of only 2% and is rich in conjugated linoleic acids. It is therefore also optimal for our four-legged friends with a bit of extra weight who could tolerate a low-fat diet.
