Prime100 SPD Range Explained: Vet Insights on Single Protein Nutrition for Sensitive Dogs (2025)
Dogs with skin irritation, itching, soft stools or frequent tummy upsets often do best on a Single Protein Diet (SPD). In this guide, we explain how Prime100 SPD dog food works, which recipes match common conditions (dermatitis, IBD, colitis, pancreatitis, food intolerance), and how to transition safely. You’ll also find buying options including fast Australia-wide shipping, Melbourne local delivery, and Moorabbin Click & Collect.

Why Single Protein Diets Matter for Sensitive Dogs
Many “mystery” skin and gut flare-ups are driven by dietary triggers. When a recipe contains multiple animal proteins, it becomes harder to isolate the culprit. A single protein diet controls the variables: one animal protein, clean supporting ingredients, and a predictable nutrient profile. This makes SPD ideal for elimination diets, where your vet systematically removes likely triggers to identify what your dog tolerates best.

What Exactly Is an SPD (Single Protein Diet)?
An SPD uses one animal protein source only (e.g., kangaroo, chicken, salmon, lamb, wild boar). This is different from “grain-free” or generic “sensitive” formulas that may still include multiple proteins. Prime100’s SPD range is vet-formulated, Australian-made, and designed to support dogs with food intolerance, IBD (irritable bowel disease), colitis, gastritis, dermatitis, and food aversion.
- Supports elimination diet protocols overseen by your veterinarian.
- Minimises cross-contamination risk from multi-protein recipes.
- Pairs practical feeding formats with functional nutrition (e.g., pumpkin, flaxseed, targeted fats).
SPD Formats: Air Dried, Slow Cooked & Fresh Dog Rolls
Air Dried
Gently dried at low temperatures to preserve nutrients without the need for refrigeration. Convenient to portion, ideal for picky eaters or as a complete diet. Explore Prime100 SPD Air Dried.
Slow Cooked (Wet)
Low-temperature cooking yields a soft, aromatic texture and high moisture — a win for hydration and palatability. See the Slow Cooked SPD range.
Fresh Dog Rolls
Refrigerated, functional recipes ideal for elimination trials and sensitive stomach dogs. Perfect as a complete diet or topper. Shop Prime100 Fresh Dog Rolls.

When Should I Choose an SPD for My Dog?
- Recurring itching, redness or hot spots (suspected food-responsive dermatitis).
- Chronic loose stools, IBD, colitis, gastritis or frequent tummy upsets.
- Food aversion or selective eating after negative food experiences.
- Prior to a vet-supervised elimination diet when you need dietary control.
Chronic itching + soft stools resolved after switching to SPD Kangaroo & Pumpkin Roll for 10–14 days. Vet assessment suggested chicken protein intolerance. Gradual re-introductions confirmed tolerance to kangaroo single protein.
How to Transition to Prime100 SPD (7-Day Plan)
Switch slowly to protect the gut microbiome. For sensitive stomach dogs, extend each step to 2–3 days.
| Day | Current Food | Prime100 SPD | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | 75% | 25% | Observe stool & skin. Keep treats single-protein. |
| 3–4 | 50% | 50% | Maintain consistent meal times; avoid sudden toppers. |
| 5–6 | 25% | 75% | Hydration support: slow cooked or water over air dried. |
| 7+ | 0% | 100% | Hold steady for 2–4 weeks before any changes. |
