Is this right for your dog?
Most people find us because of one of these. Find yours, then see what actually changes and when.
for the 2am scratchers
You've changed the food four times. He's still chewing his feet.
- Paw licking the moment the house goes quiet
- Ears that flare a fortnight after the drops
- Scratching in January and in July
Year-round itching with ears, paws and tummy trouble together usually points at the bowl, not the pollen.
30-day money-back, no need to send it backStart the switch
for the gurglers
A sensitive stomach isn't a personality. It's a reaction to something in the bowl.
- Gurgling you can hear across the room
- Wind that clears the sofa
- Breakfast refused for no clear reason
The gut meets every protein first, and chicken, beef, dairy and grain are what UK dogs eat most.
30-day money-back, no need to send it backStart the switch
for the 4pm surprises
When did you last pick up a genuinely solid one?
- Soft serve more days than not
- Fine, then suddenly not, then fine again
- Urgency halfway round the walk
If the trigger is in the main bowl, every day resets the irritation. 'Mostly fine, random awful days' is still a food pattern.
30-day money-back, no need to send it backStart the switch
for the food critics
Fussy eater? Or just fed up with that food?
- Sniffs it, walks away
- Eats if you hand-feed, not from the bowl
- Loves the treats, snubs the dinner
Dogs aren't born fussy. Ours is savoury and a little nutty, nothing like the kibble they're bored of. "He loves the taste" is the line we hear most.
30-day money-back, no need to send it backStart the switch
for the label readers
Five bags on the go and you still can't tell which one's the problem.
- An allergy test that came back 'inconclusive'
- A vet bag that cost a fortune
- Something worked for a month, then stopped
One protein your dog has never met, food and treats, and the guessing stops. The food does the discipline instead of you.

Mix a little more into the old food each day. Sensitive stomachs often prefer a gradual handover.

🌱
Plant-Based
Missing essential amino acids dogs need. Can cause digestive issues for some dogs.
🥩
Raw Feeding
Risk of bacteria like salmonella. Often uses common proteins that trigger allergies.
🧪
Hydrolysed Dry
Highly processed, often £40+ per bag. Some dogs still react to broken-down proteins.

we've thought about all of it
You've probably got questions. Good.
Straight answers, including the ones where the honest answer is “maybe not for your dog”.
Will it work for my dog?
“Has it passed the taste test?”
Honest answer:Yes, with real dogs. One verified food buyer told us, "The first time I offered it to my dog she ate it immediately without any problem." No food suits every dog, so the 1.5kg trial bag is still covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee.
“How do I know it's food and not pollen?”
Honest answer:The calendar can offer a clue, not a diagnosis. Strictly seasonal itching can point towards pollen; year-round itching alongside ear, paw or stomach trouble can make food worth investigating with your vet. A food change will not remove an environmental trigger.
“Should I be at the vet instead?”
Honest answer:If there's sudden vomiting, blood, black stools, rapid weight loss or your dog seems in pain: yes, today. This is for the long-running grumbles your vet has already ruled the serious things out of.
“He's been on the same food for years. Why would it start now?”
Honest answer:A sensitivity can become apparent after a food has seemed fine for years, so a long history with one bag does not rule food in or out. Persistent or worsening symptoms are worth discussing with your vet.
“What about puppies and older dogs?”
Honest answer:This recipe is formulated for adult dogs of all breeds. We'd recommend waiting until your dog is fully grown before switching them onto it. Seniors are fine: cold-pressed food is softer and easier to digest than extruded kibble.
The insect bit
“Insects? Really?”
Honest answer:Black soldier fly larvae. They provide animal protein and are novel for many UK dogs, which can make them a useful alternative to the usual meats. Novel does not mean reaction-proof, and no protein suits every dog.
“Is insect protein actually safe for dogs?”
Honest answer:Yes. Insect protein is approved as a pet food ingredient in the UK and EU. 35% insect meal plus 3% insect oil, 26.5% protein, cold-pressed in the UK, no artificial additives.
“My dog's allergic to dust mites. Aren't insects related?”
Honest answer:That's the right question. Insects and mites are both arthropods, and cross-reactivity is a genuine possibility. If your dog has a known house dust mite or shellfish allergy, speak to your vet before switching. We'd rather lose the sale than guess.
“Can it be his only food?”
Honest answer:Yes. It is a complete adult food made with insect protein, potato, sweet potato and natural prebiotic ingredients, with no chicken, beef, lamb, pork, fish, grain or gluten.
Switching
“Won't a new food make things worse to start with?”
Honest answer:A wobbly day or two during the changeover is normal, which is why the switch runs over 5-7 days rather than overnight: start around 20% new food and add a little each day. Sensitive tummies like a slow handover. Go slower if you need to.
“How long before I know?”
Honest answer:A controlled food trial is usually judged over several weeks, not several meals. Digestion may change sooner than skin, but there is no honest fixed timetable for an individual dog. Keep the rest of the diet consistent and agree the trial length with your vet if you are investigating a suspected allergy.
“Do I have to change the treats too?”
Honest answer:If you are trying to learn whether food is part of the problem, other animal proteins in chews and treats can muddy the result. Our treats use insect as their declared animal protein too. If you are not running a controlled trial, keep the routine that works for your dog.
“How much do I feed, and how long does a bag last?”
Honest answer:It depends on your dog's size. A 1.5kg bag lasts around two weeks for a 5kg dog, about ten days for a 10kg dog, and under a week for a 20kg dog, so most larger dogs are better off on the 6kg. The feeding calculator on this page works out your dog's portion, bag life and cost per day.
Money, delivery & the guarantee
“What if it doesn't work?”
Honest answer:No food suits every dog, and a 30-day home trial cannot diagnose the cause of a symptom. If your dog does not take to it, tell us within 30 days of delivery and we will refund you in full. Change of mind is included and, for food, we do not usually need the product back.
“Why does the subscription start at 3kg?”
Honest answer:Because a smaller bag runs out before you can see anything change. The 3kg is £32 (it arrives as two 1.5kg bags for now), 30% off your first delivery and 15% off every one after. Want to taste-test first? The 1.5kg trial bag is one-off, no strings.
“Am I locked in?”
Honest answer:No. Deliveries every 3, 4, 6 or 8 weeks, your choice. Change, skip, delay or cancel any time from the link in every email. No minimum term, no cancellation call, no guilt trip.
“What does delivery cost and how fast is it?”
Honest answer:£1.99 under £30 and free over £30, subscription or one-off. Order before 2pm Monday to Friday and it leaves the same day; delivery takes 2-3 working days.
One animal protein. Less guesswork.
