Les propriétaires de chiens souffrant d’une allergie alimentaire ont souvent cherché longtemps et désespérément un aliment que l’animal tolère et ne provoque aucun symptôme. La gamme de produits purs et sensibles comprend un concept nutritionnel holistique spécifiquement pour ces chiens sensibles aux aliments. L’élargissement de la gamme avec un aliment à base de protéines d’insectes permet désormais une tolérance encore meilleure.

A feed allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to proteins in food. It can only occur if the immune system already had contact with the relevant protein. Since insects are very rarely used as a source of protein in feed, the risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low.

However, high tolerance is not the only positive property of insect protein; insects are also a more sustainable source of protein in terms of nature. The production of insect protein requires significantly less space and water than conventional protein sources used in feed, while at the same time breeding does not release the greenhouse gas methane. Insects are also extremely efficient in obtaining nutrients: One tonne of insects can convert 4.5 tonnes of organic waste into high-quality nutrients.

Just like the other recipes of the feed line, pure sensitive Insect protein also builds on the principle of the Limited Ingredient Diet (LID). Only those ingredients that are necessary for a dog´s diet are used. We only combine one animal source of protein with one source of carbohydrate, which reduced the risk of allergies and intolerances. For sources of carbohydrate, our pure sensitive recipes are based exclusively on rice or potatoes, which are particularly easy to digest and do not use wheat, corn or barley. The MERA pure sensitive line is also free from colourings, flavourings and preservatives.

The new MERA pure sensitive Insect protein is now available in practical 1 kg, 4kg and 12.5 kg packs
