Description
Our first cold pressed dry food made with insect protein from the larva of Hermetia illucens (Black Soldier Fly) offers the opportunity to conserve natural resources with species-appropriate feeding. Healthy, sustainable, animal-friendly and with the smallest ecological footprint.
Our gluten-free recipe with dried insect larvae is gently cold pressed into pellet form to preserve the valuable nutrients from our proven DogProMin complex and many other ingredients are preserved as much as possible. Whole grain brown rice provides healthy nutrients and has a small allergy potential. The larvae of Hermetia illucens contain a lot of protein, fat and also a healthy amount of lauric acid, resulting in a simple food that is very well tolerated by food-sensitive dogs or dogs with allergies.
The ecological advantages of insect farming are obvious - they require less area of usable arable land and other natural resources. In addition, significantly less precious water is used for breeding. If we include the reduced emissions of ammonia and CO2, it becomes clear why this new way of feeding can become so important for humans and their environment alike.
Other valuable nutrients round off our balanced recipe.
- Carob, which can regulate digestion
- Coconut oil, which provides essential fatty acids and can make a positive contribution to maintaining the health of the immune system
- Brewer's yeast, for a beautiful coat and healthy skin
- Bananas provide valuable nutrients as well as the happiness hormone serotonin
- Lime from seaweed supplies 100% natural calcium
- Malt germ, diatomaceous earth, seaweed and gently dried herbs promote a healthy metabolism
- Berry power from blueberries and cranberries for more vitality
- Buckwheat and mung bean sprouts provide micronutrients and phytochemicals in high doses, one germ already contains the concentrated power of an entire plant
Canis Plus® InsectVetal® should be fed as a nutritious supplement food in alternation with our complete meals, this is because the calcium and phosphorus content of insects is naturally different from that of meat or fish. By alternating, ample calcium and phosphorous will be derived. Thus, the comsumption of meat is reduced and the dog has a holistically species-appropriate diet. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our team of experts. (More information about our Canis Plus® InsectVetal® on this page.)
When our Canis Plus® InsectVetal® is fed in separate meals it can be combined with all Canis Plus® foods and BARF.

Feeding recommendation
Feeding Recommendation for Canis Plus® InsectVetal®
As a supplementary feed, Canis Plus® InsectVetal® should be fed in separate meals in alternation with the Canis Plus® complete meal varieties, or BARF. The feeding recommendation for adult dogs is based on their current body weight.
Daily ration:
| Weight of the dog | Feed per day |
|---|---|
| 5 kg | 80 g |
| 10 kg | 125 g |
| 15 kg | 165 g |
| 20 kg | 215 g |
| 25 kg | 250 g |
| 30 kg | 280 g |
| 35 kg | 340 g |
| 40 kg | 370 g |
| 45 kg | 410 g |
| 50 kg | 450 g |
| 60 kg | 510 g |
| 70 kg | 600 g |
Feed changeover
If you have previously fed an extruded food (such as commercially dry food brands), we recommend a quick switch to our cold pressed dog food. Extruded and cold pressed feed should not be fed at the same time. It is best to completely replace the meals with the Canis Plus® dry food.
Optimum amount to feed
The optimal feeding amount depends on various factors such as activity level, age, time of year, physical health, mental health and much more and should thus be assessed individually. Please follow the advised amount of food and stick to it for the first 1-2 weeks. After that, you can then check your dog's body weight to determine whether it needs a little less or a little more food.
Dry food combined with wet food
Combined feeding with our cold pressed dry food, our complete meals, our pure meat products or BARF is possible. For dogs with sensitive stomachs, however, we recommend that dry and wet food should be fed in separate meals.
The right pellet size
Most dogs do simply fine with our regular pellet size. The pellets are not too hard and the dog should be encouraged to chew, which in turn ensures longer occupation with the food. For miniature breeds, small dogs and some older dogs that have dental problems, the small pellets are sometimes more acceptable.
