This hypoallergenic Dry dog food combines the power of high-quality insects (Hermetia illucens) with stomach-friendly ingredients – 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 bowel diseases such as IBD.
Thanks to its urine-acidifying properties, it can also help stabilize the urinary environment and thus reduce the risk of struvite stone formation. Due 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 feed 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. The individual requirement varies depending on breed, age and activity level. Divide the daily ration into at least 2 meals and feed at room temperature. Additional feeding of snacks should be considered in the daily ration. Always provide fresh drinking water. Please store the product in a cool and 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.
Dry Food for Dogs with Allergies and Intolerances
My dog is constantly scratching
If your dog is constantly scratching, this could indicate an allergy or intolerance. Often, this is accompanied by itching in dogs, which can impair their well-being. Possible causes of itching in dogs include food intolerances, environmental factors, or skin irritations. Dogs with sensitive digestive tracts are particularly sensitive to certain food components.
How do I recognize an allergy or intolerance in dogs?
Various signs can indicate an allergy or intolerance:
- Itching in dogs: Frequent scratching or restlessness.
- Dog constantly scratching: Especially on ears, paws, or belly.
- Ear infections in dogs: Recurring head shaking or scratching.
- Skin problems in dogs: Redness, dandruff, or changes in coat.
- Digestive problems: Loose stools, diarrhea, or vomiting can indicate intolerances in dogs.
How can hypoallergenic Dry dog food help?
Hypoallergenic Dry dog food is tailored for dogs with sensitive digestion or known intolerances. It avoids commonly used ingredients such as grains, yeast, or certain animal proteins. Instead, alternative protein sources like insect protein are used, which are considered well-tolerated.
Our grain-free Dry dog food is an extruded dog food that, due to its structure and composition, is designed for good digestibility in sensitive dogs.
Why is HighSensitive Dry dog food suitable for sensitive digestion (e.g., IBD)?
Dogs with sensitive digestion or IBD (IBD / Inflammatory Bowel Disease) often benefit from a clearly structured and easily digestible diet. HighSensitive Dry dog food is based on a reduced list of ingredients and contains easily digestible protein sources.
Fiber-rich insect proteins and selected fats are often used as part of an adapted feeding plan for sensitive dogs. More information
Gastritis in dogs – gentle feeding
With gastritis, the stomach reacts particularly sensitively to difficult-to-digest or highly processed ingredients. A well-tolerated Dry dog food with a manageable list of ingredients can help avoid coatther burdening the gastrointestinal tract.
HighSensitive Dry dog food is grain-free and relies on easily digestible protein sources. This makes it suitable as part of a bland diet for dogs with sensitive stomachs or gastritis, always in consultation with veterinary advice.
How can HighSensitive Dry dog food be used for struvite stones?
Dogs prone to struvite stones require an adapted mineral supply. HighSensitive Dry dog food has a reduced protein, phosphorus, and magnesium content and is designed for a balanced composition.
These properties can contribute to supporting urinary tract health as part of a struvite-conscious feeding plan. Feeding should always be accompanied by veterinary supervision.
Kidney insufficiency / kidney-related dietary needs in dogs
With kidney insufficiency or kidney-related dietary needs, a needs-based diet is particularly important. A low phosphorus content and a reduced protein content can help relieve the kidneys as part of an adapted feeding plan.
HighSensitive Dry dog food, due to its moderate protein content and good digestibility, is also suitable for dogs with sensitive organ functions. A change in diet should always be discussed with the vet.
What are the advantages of hypoallergenic Dry dog food?
- Suitable for itching in dogs: For dogs with sensitive skin.
- Skin and Coat: With omega-3 fatty acids as part of a balanced diet.
- Well-tolerated dog food: Without grains, soy, or common allergens.
- Suitable as a bland diet: For dogs with sensitive gastrointestinal tracts.
- Applicable for special dietary needs: For example, with intolerances.
How long can I feed the Sensitive Dry dog food?
The food is based on natural insect proteins and is designed as a complete feed. It contains all essential nutrients necessary for a long-term and balanced diet.
For special health requirements, regular veterinary check-ups are recommended to adapt the feeding individually.
How long can I feed the Sensitive Dry dog food?
We deliberately use natural insect proteins instead of hydrolyzed variants. This way, you can be sure that your dog is receiving a balanced diet. Our food contains all essential nutrients that are 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.
