The miracle dog who suffered from long-term allergy problems and unpleasant itching
Meet Stella, the miracle dog who suffered from long-term allergy problems and unpleasant itching. After, in consultation with the veterinarian, testing everything from allergy feed to food with different types of protein sources, Stella's owner accidentally came into contact with petgood. They decided to give it a try and after only a few days the itching had disappeared and the stomach had improved.

I'm Stella, also called the miracle dog - a nickname I got when I was little. When I had been with my new pet parent for just 2 days, I was in an accident with a horse. I was severely injured but miraculously survived.
However, my veterinary visits did not end after the accident, I was examined for a long time to investigate my allergies and a troublesome scratch in one ear. I scratched it, to the point of bleeding and it was very painful. As a consequence, I had to wear a cone collar for several weeks.
Unfortunately, the vets who examined me could not find the reason for my allergies nor what I should eat to feel better. My pet parent and I were advised to test different foods. For a few months, we tested everything from allergy-specific food to foods without protein or food with different types of protein sources. Some tasted poorly and others were simply not up to standard, but above all, my wellbeing did not improve.
By a stroke of luck, my pet parent heard about petgood, an insect-based nutritious food, pet food that is also good for dogs with allergies. After only a few days, improvements to my wellbeing were apparent - my scratch disappeared and my stomach started to feel better.
It became abundantly clear that petgood was the right choice for me, as when our food from petgood was finished, my problems came right back when reverting to some of my other food choices.
Since then I have only eaten petgood and am completely recovered, with a lot of energy, good stomach health, and a big appetite! I can recommend other dogs with allergies or underlying problems to try petgood, it is the only food that made me feel really good. Of course, it is also a big plus that I can at the same time reduce my paw imprint on the climate!
Psst, did you know that our cat food has been examined in a scientific study, which showed an increase in beneficial gut bacteria?
This might be part of the reason why Maja & Hjördis’ stomachs have been so healthy on our cat food. Read more about this study and other exciting research below!
In the spring of 2024, Petgood collaborated with Ellinor Hammarberg from the Animal and Sustainability program at SLU, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The study focused on dogs diagnosed with food allergies. The results speak for themselves and align with the proven health benefits you can read about on our research page.
