Single Protein, Chicken-Free Nutrition
At Addiction, we believe pets deserve food made from real, pure ingredients. That’s why our hypoallergenic recipes use single proteins like kangaroo or venison, which are easier to digest and less likely to cause sensitivities.
Our recipes are also chicken-free, eliminating a common allergen that can cause digestive or skin issues. This clean, balanced diet supports healthy digestion, strong muscles, and overall well-being for pets with food sensitivities.
Why Choose Single-Protein Formulas?
Why Chicken-Free Matters
Freedom from the #1 Pet Allergen
Chicken is one of the most common protein allergens in pet food. Over time, repeated exposure can cause itchiness, ear irritation, or digestive upset. Our chicken-free recipes help pets feel comfortable again without sacrificing taste or nutrition.
The Chicken-Free Difference
Unlock the Power of Novel Proteins
Exploring Fresh, Nourishing Choices for Your Pet’s Diet
Pets with allergies often react to common proteins like chicken or beef. Novel proteins like kangaroo, venison, and brushtail are less likely to trigger allergies and provide unique health benefits. Kangaroo is lean and rich in amino acids, venison supports immunity with omega-3s, and brushtail is easily digestible and low in fat. These proteins offer a safe, nutritious alternative for pets with sensitivities, promoting better digestion and overall health.

Nurturing Your Pet with Nature’s Best
Kangaroo, venison, and brushtail are sustainably sourced proteins that are less likely to cause allergies. Kangaroo is lean and nutrient-rich from wild populations, while venison comes from free-range herds in New Zealand’s forests. Brushtail, responsibly raised by New Zealand farmers, is part of sustainable harvesting programs. These ethical, low-impact proteins provide high-quality nutrition with minimal environmental impact.
