This hypoallergenic and low-purine wet dog food combines the power of high-quality and fresh insects (Hermetia illucens) with functional ingredients such as apple extract and algae oil – ideal for dogs with sensitive digestion or food intolerances. The recipe is based on a few, clearly declared raw materials and can therefore be suitable for elimination diets (Limited Ingredient Diet) and chronic intestinal diseases like IBD.
The soft consistency makes the food particularly digestible – even for dogs that do not tolerate conventional protein sources well. Due to its urine-acidifying properties, it can also help to stabilize the urinary environment and thus reduce the risk of struvite stone formation.
Thanks to the deliberately reduced content of phosphorus, protein, and magnesium, the food is also a suitable choice for dogs with kidney insufficiency – always in consultation with the treating veterinarian.

Complete feed according to FEDIAF guidelines: The food serves as a complete meal for adult dogs and covers the daily requirement of all necessary nutrients (including minerals, trace elements, vitamins). It can also replace individual meals. The daily ration guidelines are recommendations. Individual needs vary depending on breed, age, and activity. Divide the daily ration into at least 2 portions and feed at room temperature. Additional snacks should be taken into account when calculating the daily ration. Always provide fresh drinking water. Please store the product in a cool, dry place.

Summary
Current studies show that insect protein-based feed (e.g., from the Black Soldier Fly Hermetia illucens or mealworms Tenebrio molitor) is very well tolerated and accepted by dogs. Positive effects have been observed especially in animals with food intolerances – a clear indication of the potential of these novel protein sources.
Hydrolyzed protein sources also contribute to significantly reducing allergenicity, thereby offering better tolerability for sensitive dogs.
While less data is available for cats so far, initial results indicate that benefits may be possible here as well.
In summary, insect protein-based diets open up a promising, innovative, and natural way to support dogs (and potentially cats in the future) with food intolerances, allergies, and sensitive digestion – with good tolerability, sustainability, and clinical benefit.
Wet dog food for dogs with allergies and intolerances
My dog is constantly scratching
If your dog is constantly scratching, this could be an indication of an allergy or intolerance. This behavior is often accompanied by itching in the dog, which can impair their well-being. Possible causes of itching in dogs include food intolerances, environmental factors, or skin irritations. Dogs with a sensitive digestive tract or sensitive skin, in particular, react to certain food components with dog allergies.
How do I recognize an allergy or intolerance in my dog?
There are various signs that may indicate an allergy or intolerance. These include:
- Itching in dogs: Frequent scratching or increased restlessness.
- Dog constantly scratching: Especially at the ears, paws, or abdomen.
- Ear infections in dogs: Recurring head shaking or scratching at the ears.
- Skin problems in dogs: Redness, dandruff, or altered coat appearance.
- Digestive problems: Soft stools, diarrhea, or vomiting can indicate intolerances in dogs.
How can hypoallergenic wet dog food help?
Hypoallergenic wet dog food is tailored to the needs of dogs with sensitive digestion or known intolerances. It avoids commonly used ingredients such as grains, yeast, or certain animal proteins. Instead, alternative protein sources such as insect protein or fish are used, which are considered well-tolerated.
Our grain-free wet dog food is sterilized wet dog food. The gentle processing can also reduce the risk of food mite allergies, making it particularly suitable for sensitive dogs.
Why is HighSensitive wet dog food suitable for IBD?
Dogs with IBD (IBD / Inflammatory Bowel Disease) often benefit from particularly easily digestible and clearly structured feeding. Our HighSensitive wet dog food relies on a reduced ingredient list and easily digestible protein sources that put as little strain as possible on the digestive tract.
Fiber-rich insect proteins can support normal intestinal function. Additionally included omega-3 fatty acids from linseed oil are often used as part of a balanced diet for sensitive dogs. More information
Gastritis in dogs – gentle nutrition
In cases of gastritis, the stomach is particularly sensitive to difficult-to-digest or highly processed ingredients. An easily digestible, bland diet for dogs can help avoid coatther irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Our HighSensitive wet dog food contains a clear ingredient list, is free of grains, and uses highly digestible protein sources. Due to the high moisture content of wet dog food and its gentle composition, it is particularly suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs or gastritis, always as part of a veterinary-supervised feeding plan.
How can HighSensitive wet dog food be used for struvite stones?
Dogs prone to struvite stones require a tailored diet. Our HighSensitive wet dog food has a low protein, phosphorus, and magnesium content and is balanced in its mineral composition.
The high moisture content of wet dog food can support daily fluid intake and is often recommended as part of a struvite-conscious diet. Feeding should always be done in consultation with a veterinarian.
Kidney insufficiency / kidney-related dietary needs in dogs
In cases of kidney insufficiency or kidney-related dietary needs, an adapted diet plays a central role. A low phosphorus content and a reduced protein content can help relieve the kidneys as part of a needs-based diet.
The HighSensitive wet dog food, with its moderate protein amount and good digestibility, is also suitable for dogs with sensitive organ functions. The high moisture content of wet dog food additionally supports fluid intake. A change in diet for kidney diseases should always be accompanied by a veterinarian.
What are the advantages of hypoallergenic wet dog food?
- Support for itching in dogs: Suitable for dogs with sensitive skin.
- Skin-friendly nutrition: With omega-3 fatty acids as part of a balanced diet.
- Suitable for sensitive dogs: Free of grains, soy, or common allergens.
- Well-tolerated dog food: For dogs with a sensitive gastrointestinal tract.
- Can be used as a bland diet: Easily digestible ingredients for special dietary needs.
How long can I feed the Sensitive wet dog food?
We deliberately use natural insects, in this case even fresh black soldier fly larvae, instead of hydrolyzed varieties. This way, you can be sure that your dog is receiving a balanced diet. Our food contains all the essential nutrients important for a complete diet – so you can stick with this food without concerns. In contrast, with hydrolyzed proteins, regular food changes (every 3-4 months) should be considered, as the body might otherwise lose its natural defense mechanisms.
