Frequently-Asked Questions
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.
Is insect protein actually safe for my dog, especially with existing allergies?
Yes, insect protein is not only safe but ideal for allergic dogs. Insects like black soldier fly larvae are considered "novel proteins" - meaning most dogs have never been exposed to them, making allergic reactions extremely rare. Unlike common proteins (chicken, beef, lamb) that cause most food allergies in dogs, insect protein provides complete amino acid profiles without the allergen load. The protein is highly digestible and has been safely used in European dog foods for over a decade. The Net Vet monitors every participant to ensure your dog's safety throughout the program.
Important note: While novel proteins can help with food-related sensitivities, allergies are complex and may have environmental, genetic, or other non-food causes that diet alone cannot address.
How quickly will I see improvements in my dog's symptoms?
Most dogs with food-related sensitivities show initial improvements within 2-3 weeks, with more significant progress by week 4-6. Here's what to expect:
Week 1-2: Digestive settling, possible slight symptom continuation
Week 3-4: Reduced itching, less ear scratching, improved stool quality
Week 5-6: Noticeably calmer skin, reduced redness, better energy
Week 7-8: Full benefits visible - healthier coat, clearer skin, improved overall wellness
Important: Not all symptoms may be food-related. Environmental allergies, genetic factors, or other health conditions may require additional veterinary care beyond dietary changes. The Net Vet will help you track progress and determine if further investigation is needed.
What if my dog refuses to eat the new food?
This is completely normal and easily manageable. We've developed a proven 7-day transition protocol specifically for fussy eaters:
Days 1-2: Mix 25% new food with 75% current food
Days 3-4: Increase to 50/50 ratio
Days 5-6: Move to 75% new food, 25% current
Day 7+: 100% insect protein food
Pro tips from veterinary nutritionists:
Warm the food slightly to enhance aroma
Add a small amount of low-sodium bone broth if needed
Feed smaller, more frequent meals during transition
Stay patient - most "picky" dogs accept the food within 5 days
If your dog still refuses after following this protocol, the Net Vet will work with you on alternative strategies, and our money-back guarantee ensures you're never stuck.
How does the free digital vet support from the Net Vet actually work?
Your veterinary support through the Net Vet is comprehensive and easily accessible:
Access Methods:
Secure chat platform (response within 4 hours, often sooner)
Scheduled video calls for complex issues
Emergency consultation line for urgent concerns
Weekly check-in emails with progress tracking
What the Net Vet Helps With:
Monitoring symptom improvements and dietary response
Adjusting transition timelines for your dog's needs
Addressing any concerns or questions about changes you observe
Providing nutritional guidance and optimization tips
Helping determine if additional veterinary care is needed
The Net Vet team includes licensed veterinarians with specialized experience in canine nutrition and dietary management. You'll be assigned a primary vet who learns your dog's case, ensuring consistent, personalized care throughout your 8-week journey.
What if the program doesn't work for my dog after 8 weeks?
We stand behind our 8-week challenge with a money-back guarantee, but more importantly, we're committed to your dog's success. Here's our approach:
If minimal improvement after 8 weeks:
Extended consultation with the Net Vet's head veterinary nutritionist
Review of your dog's complete health history and environmental factors
Potential underlying condition assessment and referral guidance
Refund available as per our guarantee terms
Important context: Clinical studies show that novel protein foods can be effective in managing adverse food reactions in dogs, but not all allergic symptoms are food-related. Environmental allergies, autoimmune conditions, or other health issues may require additional veterinary intervention beyond diet change.
The Net Vet will never leave you without answers or support, regardless of the outcome, and will help guide you toward the best next steps for your dog's health.
Are there any side effects during the transition period?
Minor, temporary digestive changes are normal and actually healthy signs of gut adjustment:
Normal Transition Effects (Days 1-7):
Slightly softer stools as gut bacteria adapt
Mild decrease in appetite (common with any food change)
Temporary increase in gas production
Your dog may drink slightly more water initially
Positive Changes to Expect:
Firmer, more consistent stools (usually by week 2)
Reduced bloating and digestive discomfort
Better breath (common with improved gut health)
Increased energy as nutrient absorption improves
When to Contact the Net Vet:
Severe diarrhea lasting more than 2 days
Complete food refusal for more than 24 hours
Vomiting more than once
Any symptoms that concern you
The Net Vet team is monitoring for these signs and will guide you through any adjustments needed.
How do I know if my dog's symptoms are actually improving or just having a "good day"?
Excellent question! We provide you with professional tracking tools used by veterinary dermatologists:
Your Progress Tracking Kit Includes:
Weekly photo guide for documenting skin condition
Daily symptom scoring chart (itching, energy, stool quality)
Digital tracking app that creates visual progress reports
Baseline measurement guide for objective comparison
Key Indicators of Real Progress:
Consistent improvement over 3-5 day periods (not just isolated good days)
Reduced nighttime scratching and restlessness
Improved stool consistency for 4+ consecutive days
Less frequent ear shaking or paw licking
Gradual return of healthy coat shine and skin color
The Net Vet reviews your weekly progress reports and helps distinguish between temporary fluctuations and genuine improvement trends. This data-driven approach removes guesswork and builds confidence in your dog's health journey.
What makes insect protein better than other "hypoallergenic" foods we've tried?
Most commercial "hypoallergenic" foods still use proteins your dog may have been exposed to or contain hidden allergens:
Why Previous Foods May Have Failed
Hydrolyzed proteins can still trigger reactions in sensitive dogs
"Limited ingredient" foods often contain multiple potential allergens
Cross-contamination during manufacturing with common allergens
Incomplete protein profiles requiring multiple protein sources
Insect Protein Advantages:
True novel protein: Most dogs have never consumed insect protein
Complete amino acid profile: No need for multiple protein sources
Naturally anti-inflammatory: Contains beneficial compounds that may help reduce inflammation
Highly digestible: Superior absorption compared to many traditional proteins
Sustainable production: No antibiotics, hormones, or contamination risks
Clinical Evidence: Research published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine demonstrates that novel protein foods can effectively manage clinical signs associated with adverse food reactions in dogs, offering a science-backed approach to dietary management.
Remember: This program focuses on identifying and managing food-related sensitivities, but some allergic symptoms may have non-food causes that require additional veterinary care.
