Hypoallergy Insect Food Intolerance

With Insect protein


DIETETIC INDICATIONS
• Reduction of ingredient and nutrient intolerance                                                                                                                

Available formats: 3 kg 

                                                                                                          Cat-Allergy-1.png

OTHER USE                                 

  • Food intolerance with concurrent digestive disorders (maldigestion/maloabsorption, diarhea...)                           
  • Food intolerance with concurrent digestive disorders (redness/itching)                                                      

 

 

KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Elimination Diet*
Formula based on insect protein and potato starch allows management of most common food allergies.

Purified Source of Carbohydrate (single source)*
The use of purified potato starch excludes the protein part of potato.

With Insect Protein*
Insect is a totally innovative animal protein source in petfood. Its high protein digestibility and biological value (amino acid profile) perfectly fits the daily requirements of cats.

High Digestive Tolerance
Includes a specific association association of ingredients (clay, probiotics, prebiotics, fibres) to secure the digestive function, which can be compromised in allergic cats (efficacy proven by Virbac)(1)

High Palatability
Richness in animal protein and fat guarantess high palatability for optimal compliance during the elimination food trial or in the long term.

 

 

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND CHARACTERISTICS

Skin Integrity
High and balanced omega-6 and omega-3 help maintain skin barrier effect and reduce the risk of other allergies

Coat Support
Adapted content in protein and essential fatty acids helps to maintain a healthy coat.

High Digestibility
High digestibility helps support cats with concurrent compromised gastrointestinal function.

Urinary Health
Mineral balance and adapted urinary pH and RSS limit the risk of feline lower urinary tract disease in the long term.

Suitable for Adult and Senior cats
The amounts of all essential nutrients fit the daily requirement of adult and senior cats.

MANAGEMENT OF PRIMARY CONDITIONS:

Food intolerance / Allergy management

  • Rare source of protein: Insect (93% of the diet proteins)
  • Single and  purified source of carbohydrate: potato starch
  • This innovative formula allows the management of common food allergies.
  • NB: One hydrolysed protein source (4% of the diet proteins), as palatability enhancer, presents a mean molecular weight of 2.0 kDa to ensure very low allergenicity.
  • 3% of protein come from linseed, no data available proving that linseed can cause any food allergic reaction in dogs. 

 

MANAGEMENT OF CONCURRENT CONDITIONS:

Food intolerance/allergy management: 

  • Rare source of protein: Insect (92% of the diet proteins)
  • Single and purified source of carbohydrate: potato starch

This innovative formula allows the management of common food allergies.

  • NB: The hydrolysed protein source (5% of the diet proteins), as palatability enhancer, presents a mean molecular weight of 2.5 kDa to ensure very low allergenicity.
  • 3% of protein come from linseed, no data available proving that linseed can cause any food allergic reaction in cats. 

 

 

ADDITIONAL HEALTH BENEFITS:

Urinary health:

  • The dietary mineral balance and adapted urinary pH and RSS ensure a heathy urinary tract. Addition of artichoke leave helps decrease the urine specific gravity.
