Product description

Hypoallergenic dry food for dogs with intolerances and skin problems, made with insect protein, offering skin support and good tolerability, in a digestible recipe using potato for carbohydrates.

Gentle nutrition for sensitive dogs: 
Concept for Life Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic Insect is a scientifically-developed dry food for dogs with food intolerances and dermatosis. It uses insect protein from Hermetia illucens larvae as the sole source of animal protein and potatoes as the sole source of carbohydrate to minimise food and nutrient intolerance symptoms. 

Skin support and good tolerability: 
Salmon oil provides essential fatty acids to support skin function and reduce excessive hair loss. The recipe is rich in linoleic acid, EPA and DHA, which contribute to skin and coat health. Hydrolysed plant protein and prebiotics promote gentle digestion.

Concept for Life Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic Insect at a glance:

  • Reduction of initial ingredient- and nutrient intolerances with hypoallergenic insect protein 
  • Supports skin function in cases of dermatosis and hair loss 
  • Contains linoleic acid, EPA and DHA for skin and coat 
  • Simple carbohydrate source for better tolerability 

Developed by vets and nutritional experts for the well-being of your dog. 

Concept for Life Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic Insect is suitable as a complete dietetic food for adult dogs with food intolerances and skin diseases. Please consult a vet before using or extending the feeding period.

Some dogs prefer wet food or like to supplement dry food with it. Try the hypoallergenic wet food Concept for Life Veterinary Diet!

A Cure All

I have a three year old uncastrated Cocker Spaniel who has had ear troubles for what feels like forever. We have spent a fortune on trips to the vet and nothing has helped. Then I tried this food. He's been eating it for a good two weeks and his ear trouble has gotten so much better! The food is really good for him, and the best thing about it is that he loves eating it too. It's his favourite!!!

Well received

I got this as a trial pack... I had already bought food made from insects at a shop which my dog didn't like the look of. But this one seems to be very tasty and it really agrees with him.. I use it as a treat.. Really good for my dog with allergies... Great

My dog loves eating it and his fur has gotten softer and shinier. He is malting less as well. I am very happy.

Great food

Changed to this from Royal canine sensitivity Sc21. Archie our JRT has IBD . Loves this food and is looking really well on it. No issues regarding his stomach and a bonus of saving £150 per annum

IBD jack russell

Extremely pleased with this food we changed over a period of 14 days from the Royal Canin SC21 (which Archie had been on for 2 years for IBD ) with no problems and hes been on it for 5 months now with no issues, if anything he looks in better condition; he loves the taste and it saves us about £150 annually which is a bonus

Top!

Our Ridgeback always had trouble with diarrhea and allergies. We tried a few different hypoallergenic foods with varying degrees of success. Since we have been feeding her Hypoallergenic Insect everything has been great! She loves eating it, has a normal output. She is very active so we had to increase the feeding amount a little. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended

The food seems to be very tasty and it really agrees with our dog. We haven't had much luck with other single protein foods in the past (itchy paws, inflamed ears) but this has been great.

Excellent for a low-purine diet

Since my Galgo has to be fed with a low-purine diet due to the drug allopurinol, which he takes because of Leishmaniasis, I came across this food. I mainly use it as a treat and food when we're traveling. When we are home I prepare BARF food for him. My dog tolerates the dry food very well and I also use it as a treat during training. Highly recommended for a low-purine diet.

No more allergy problems!

Our Beagle has lots of allergies, and every food we have tried has given him ear infections that could only be soothed by cortisone injections. Since the transition and for the last two months we have had no ear trouble. They used to be chronically inflamed, and it gave him a lot of trouble. It really agrees with him, he has solid poos, and only very rarely eats grass. Our dog is happy, and so are we!

Good alternative

I bought this food because the other insect one is almost always sold out. The food smells good and both of our dogs love it. The Labrador-Dogge Mix has some intolerance and the smaller one is just a diva, but both of them love it and the food agrees with them. It has only been a few days so far, though

Great for allergies

Our dog often has diarrhea, as well as struggling with excessive hair loss. We have just finished out first bag and no more diarrhea since. The hair loss has got much better as well. We will keep ordering this food.

Great alternative to meat!

My Royal Poodle is very sensitive when it comes to digestion but it has been great with this food. It smells good and the size of the kibble is great too, not too big and not too small.
