Backed By Science, Made By Us
If your pup suffers from a food allergy or intolerance, you must cater to it. However, most dog food uses common protein sources like pork, chicken and beef, and carbohydrates like grains, which are some of the leading food allergens affecting dogs.
Our hypoallergenic dog food avoids these ingredients with alternative insect protein and carbohydrate sources while supplying crucial nutrients and minerals. It helps relieve the symptoms of:
- Itchy skin
- Flaky skin dermatitis and skin conditions
- Running eyes
- Colitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Dog food allergies and intolerances
Our Hypoallergenic Food Blend
Allergies and intolerances are immune and digestive system reactions to foods. Unfortunately, over years of eating food made with traditional protein sources like beef, chicken and pork, our dogs’ immune and digestive systems have become accustomed to them. This familiarity has made these proteins some of the most common food allergies affecting dogs.
To combat this issue, we use novel insect protein that your pups have not been exposed to yet. Therefore, the likelihood of an allergic reaction decreases significantly. Our grain-free option replaces carbohydrates from barley and oats with potato and sweet potato to cater to dogs with grain allergies and gluten intolerances.

Why Trust Bug Bakes?
All dogs should have access to food that looks after their bodies. As the best-reviewed insect food on allaboutdogfood.co.uk, here are some of the reasons why owners throughout the UK love us:
Vet Approved
Both Grain Free and Regular recipes have been created by expert canine nutritionists and approved by vets. Transparent ingredients let you know exactly what’s in our food.
Insect Protein
Insects are a great source of hypoallergenic protein for your dog. One of your dog’s largest impacts on the environment is their food. It takes 30,000 litres of water, 250m2 of land and 24kg of feed to produce 1kg of protein from beef. With insect protein, those numbers fall to just 15 litres, 15m2 and 2kg, and the process emits 100 times less greenhouse gas.
Cold Pressed
Our food is cold pressed which is much easier to digest than typical kibble. Therefore, it is perfect for sensitive stomachs and caters to digestive issues.

Sustainably Sourced
We source all our ingredients ethically from British farms to support the UK’s agricultural industry and use the wonky vegetables that supermarkets traditionally avoid to prevent unnecessary food waste. The added cherry-on-top is our 100% recyclable packaging.
High Nutritional Value
Vitamins, minerals, fibre and protein are essential for your pet’s well-being. We include fruit and vegetables like carrots, apples, blueberries and beet pulp for essential vitamins and then add linseed and sweet potato for fibre. Plus, our cold-pressing manufacturing process retains more nutrients than traditional heat extrusion methods.
Prevents Tartar Build-Up
Proper dental hygiene ensures that your furry friend can chew healthily throughout their life. Preventing the build-up of plaque and tartar, our hypoallergenic dog food promotes healthy teeth and gums.
