Product description

Complete dietetic dry cat food with dried insect as the only source of protein. It is suitable for cats with nutritional sensitivities, dermatosis or hair loss. Suitable as exclusion or elimination diet.
Concept for Life Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic - Insect at a glance:
  • Dietetic complete dry food tailored to your cat's specific nutritional needs
  • Scientifically-based nutrition which supports veterinary therapy
  • Top-quality raw ingredients ensure it is well-accepted, and very digestible
  • Made in Germany.
Concept for Life Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic - Insect is a premium complete dry food for adult cats which suffer from nutritional sensitivities, intolerances and dermatosis. Many cats have an adverse reaction to some foods, ingredients or additives. This can result in nutritional intolerances and allergies. When your cat has an allergic reaction to food it is because the immune system is overreacting to certain proteins. Food intolerance is not connected to the immune system. Both allergies and intolerances can cause skin and digestive problems such as itching and diarrhoea.

The best way to establish the cause of food intolerance is to put your pet on an elimination or exclusion diet with limited ingredients and a selected source of animal protein. Skin issues are not just caused by intolerance to certain foods but also a reaction to flea saliva or the environment. A diet with top quality fatty acids helps to support healthy skin.

How can Concept for Life Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic help your cat?
This premium therapeutic food has been specifically developed to meet the nutritional needs of cats that suffer from food intolerances, allergies and skin problems. In order to reduce the possibility of raw ingredient and nutrient intolerance the only source of protein in this food is dried insect. Excluding commonly used animal protein from your pet's diet helps to lessen the risk of an adverse reaction. to help support skin function in dermatosis and excessive hair loss, this food is enriched with salmon oil which is particularly high in omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Sunflower oil also provides valuable linoleic acid.

Concept for Life Veterinary Diet – tailored therapeutic nutrition for your cat.

Contraindications:
Not suitable for pregnant or lactating cats, kittens, cats with hepatic insufficiency associated with impaired bile secretion, and cats with struvite stones.

General information:
  • Please seek your vet's advice before using this food or extending the feeding period.

AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers

This non-poultry cat food is a hit with some cats, who enjoy it and don't experience any digestive issues. However, it wasn't suitable for all, as it caused vomiting for certain cats even after careful introduction. Despite this, the food is paired successfully with Specific Cat FIW - Digestive Support wet food, which works well for sensitive stomachs. It's worth a try, although some cats may not take to it initially.

Special food

I ordered the trial packs as one of my cats is scratching so much. She won't touch them, neither will the rest. They probably are good but my cats smelt them and walked away. I've tried again with no luck. Back to Royal canin and hoping for the best

Both cats sick

Both of my allergic cats need non-poultry food, so I thought that this would be ideal when their rabbit-based food was discontinued. They both thoroughly enjoyed the food, but both were vomiting daily, even after a slow introduction. I have now given in and will use a hydrolysed diet since this clearly isn't suitable for them.

So happy this exists!

My British Shorthair developed a sudden allergy to chicken and scratched a lot of fur off her body and had ear mite infection at the same time. I tried this out of desperation and her scratching stopped and she's in recovery. Not only has this probably saved her life but it's also much better for the environment. I highly recommend this cat food!

No allergic reactions

Stopsl & Rambo react to standard dry food with skin irritation and by losing hair. With this they have no issues and it tastes great too !! We can definitely recommend it.

Efficient and easy to digest

It's nothing groundbreaking but after two months of feeding this almost exclusively (this hunter just loves rodents) I have noticed an improvement. Less scabs, less alopecia, less frantic itching, and perfect digestion. Having 4 cats, the novelty value got all of them interested and everyone wanted a piece of the action ! The kibble is a little small in my opinion, so they are hoovered up rather than crunched which can be detrimental in the long run.

My cat with chronic enteritis digests it well

All three of my cats eat it with gusto, and the most delicate one with chronic stomach inflammation, who vomits from any food, seems to like it and, most importantly, does not throw it back up. I am pairing it with the wet food Specific Cat FIW - Digestive Support which is phenomenal. We hope it stays like this.

Cat and owner love them

I bought the sample pack for my cat who has IBD as the prescribed food has very little protein in. Thankfully my cat loves them and her stomach does too, I bought the full size bag, which she’s been eating for a month now. As a vegetarian and environmentalist I feel more comfortable feeding my cat insects than animals. The kibble is small so it takes her longer to eat which is good as she wolfs her food down. All round, a great product for cat, me and farmed animals.

new favourite

after a lengthy transition this food has proved very popular and easy to digest. it smells nice and the kibble is just the right size for all different cats (teeth or not)... insects are animals too.... but they are a great alternative/supplement to regular cat food...in case it's not being used for allergies etc...

Perfect for delicate cats

I have tried lots of different foods, this is by far the best for Canica. No throwing up and she's doing great.

Very easy to digest

My Madonna is highly allergic, and she is also intolerant to lots of common ingredients. She struggles to find any food that suits her. But we have had no problems with this one ♥

cat with FIV and dermatitis

Baboo: fiv positive cat with dermatitis and skin itching due to a long antibiotic therapy. I'm treating it with this kibble, the horse-based wet food from the same brand to which I add the Aloeplus syrup. These three foods he eats with great appetite, and they are greatly improving his condition. He is scratching much less, no blood comes out of the wounds, and the scabs are falling off; the hair will grow back soon. Note: 5 out of 10 cats like the kibble.

It's the only food he doesn't throw up so I'm giving it a 10!

My cat is 8 years old and started losing her fur and throwing up everything she ate. After trying lots of different things I have finally found something she likes and that agrees with him. She's a Siamese and they have a tendency to swallow food whole, but not with this. She loves it. One thing I should say is that she won't touch the tins from this brand, you can tell it doesn't look that tasty... But the dry food is a 10!

no vomiting and great taste

I bought this for my cat with allergies that scratched herself bloody, but I didn't give it to her in the end because the food contains fish oil which is not suitable for an elimination diet. So we decided to try it with our older cat who is a bit fussy, and she really liked it and it has the wonderful benefit of stopping her vomiting which started suddenly at the beginning of 2020 with Royal Canin

Great for intestinal problems and allergies

I have two cats, one with intestinal problems and the other with nutritional intolerances. The two of them love this food and they are doing great on it. I will definitely keep buying it

yummy insects are a big hit (really)

I bought this to try for my elderly Ragdoll who is gluten-intolerant. He loves it! Unfortunately so do my other cats who are eating in preference of their own food. Of course there's also the advantage of a lower environmental impact and less guilt for vegetarian pet owners (like me). I've tried soaking the kibble in water too as this is easier on the kidneys for older cats - yep still loves it!

No allergy for this but cats are hungry all the time.

One of my cat has and allergy for poultry, the other has a weak stomack and this food is good for them. They like it, however they are still hungry all the time, and eat a lot and poo a lot. Not so stodgy for them.

Great

Great product, my kitten seems to prefer it to other more well-known (and more expensive) brands. Amazing value for money. I love the resealable packaging as well.
