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?

One Premium Protein Source

Each recipe uses high-quality protein, making it easier for sensitive pets to digest and absorb nutrients.

Gentle on Sensitive Stomachs

Designed to be gentle on delicate digestive systems, our formulas are free from common allergens, providing relief from digestive discomfort.

Limited Ingredients

Fewer components mean smoother digestion and better nutrient absorption, reducing the risk of food sensitivities and promoting overall digestive health.


Responsibly Sourced

Our proteins are responsibly sourced and prepared with gentle, low-temperature methods to preserve natural goodness while ensuring sustainability and ethical practices.

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.

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.

The Benefits of Switching to Novel Proteins

Ideal for pets prone to common protein allergies, such as chicken or beef, helping reduce allergic reactions and digestive discomfort.

Easier Digestion
