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:

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.

Vitamins, minerals, fibre and protein are essential for your pet’s well-being.

Testimonials

We’ve been buying bug bakes for nearly a year now after seeing the product on dragons den. Our golden retriever has a very sensitive stomach and before we started feeding her bug bakes she suffered upset after upset meaning we were alternating between other “high quality” meat based food and boiled chicken rice. I’m pleased to say that since starting on bug bakes we haven’t had a single stomach upset and our nearly 3 year old wolfs down here bug bakes without hesitation. We couldn’t be more satisfied with this wonderful food!

Richard

Our dog has been eating Bug Bakes Grain Free for over three years now and she absolutely loves it! We on the other hand, love its hypoallergenic qualities, high protein content and the fact that has a very small carbon footprint compared to other dog food...and it doesn't smell at all :-). We would like the possibility to be able to choose from different 'flavours' but that's may be just applying human feelings to dogs taste buds. Admittedly, this food is more expensive than other types, but as long as we can afford it, we'll continue to buy it!

Lucia

My cockapoo loves grain-free bug bakes. We stumbled across the brand when trying to find alternatives to meat and fish-based dog food, initially feeding a half and half mix for a couple of months. My dog is now on a fully bug bakes diet and is thriving - she is full of energy, her coat has become softer, and I love that her diet is now much more climate-friendly. Highly recommended.
