Spelt in dog food

Medium quality ingredient - nutritionally adequate and unlikely to cause any problems e.g. fillers etc

Spelt is an ancient variety of wheat which has been cultivated by people since the bronze age. It provides a much broader range of nutrients than common wheat and is a good source of B vitamins, magnesium and fibre. Probably because it has been with us and our dogs for so long, many dogs and people that are intolerant to wheat seem to have no problems with spelt. Spelt does however contain wheat gluten and so should not be fed to coeliac dogs.
