What Boston Terriers need most from their food
The Boston Terrier’s flat face and sensitive system shape their nutritional needs:
Digestive Health & Gas
Brachycephalic anatomy and sensitive digestion make Bostons famously gassy. Highly digestible, filler-free food reduces fermentation and gas.
Food Sensitivities
Bostons are prone to food sensitivities and allergies. A single-protein, allergen-free diet reduces triggers.
Skin & Allergies
Prone to skin allergies and irritation. Omega-3s and a clean diet support skin barrier health.
Weight Management
Lean, nutrient-dense food (not calorie-dense filler) helps maintain a healthy weight without overfeeding.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for Boston TerriersBoston Terriers
Boston Terriers combine a brachycephalic (flat-faced) anatomy with a tendency toward sensitive digestion — a combination that makes them one of the gassiest breeds. The cause is twofold: they swallow more air, and kibble’s fermentable filler starches produce gas in the gut. Highly digestible freeze-dried raw, free of filler starches, addresses the dietary half of the equation directly.
Bostons are also prone to food sensitivities and skin allergies. A clean, single-protein diet free of wheat, corn, soy, and synthetic additives removes the most common triggers, while omega-3s support the skin barrier. Loyal Saints delivers all of this.

Loyal Saints was built because of one dog’s transformation. King — Kristina Voltin’s dog — developed chronic digestive issues and food allergies eating processed food. She formulated a human-grade, whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet and King’s health transformed. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Boston Terriers owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what’s really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

Boston Terrier gas and skin issues are largely diet-driven. Removing fermentable filler starches and common allergens (wheat, corn, soy) addresses both at the source.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Boston Terrier so gassy?
Two reasons: brachycephalic anatomy (they swallow more air) and fermentable filler starches in kibble. The dietary cause is fixable — switching to highly digestible freeze-dried raw with no filler starches typically reduces gas significantly within 2–4 weeks.
What is the best food for a Boston Terrier with allergies?
A single, clean protein free of common triggers. Loyal Saints Chicken is single-protein and free of wheat, corn, soy, and synthetic additives — the most common Boston Terrier triggers. Feed exclusively for 8–12 weeks to assess. If your dog reacts to chicken, start with Turkey + Salmon instead.
How much should I feed my Boston Terrier?
Boston Terriers typically weigh 12–25 lbs and need roughly ½–¾ cup of rehydrated Loyal Saints daily, split into two meals. Monitor body condition and adjust based on weight and activity.
Can freeze-dried raw help my Boston’s skin issues?
Often, yes — when the skin issues are diet-related. Removing common allergens (wheat, corn, soy) and adding omega-3s for skin barrier support addresses the dietary contributors. Most diet-driven skin issues improve within 8 weeks, though environmental allergies require separate management.
