The Calibra VD Ultra-Hypoallergenic Insect Dog Food is an advanced veterinary diet designed for dogs suffering from food sensitivities and chronic dermatological or gastrointestinal issues. By utilizing insect protein as a novel, unknown protein source, this formula minimizes the risk of immune system reactions, making it an ideal choice for elimination diets and long-term nutritional management. While highly effective for managing allergies, owners should note that its specialized, high-controlled ingredient profile lacks the traditional animal-source palatability enhancers found in standard dog foods.

Insect protein is a novel protein source for most dogs, meaning their immune system has not been exposed to it before, which minimizes the risk of an allergic reaction.
This is a veterinary diet specifically formulated for dogs with food sensitivities. It should be used under the guidance of a veterinarian.
No, it does not contain any common animal source fats or animal-source ingredients used for palatability.
Duration depends on the clinical condition. For elimination trials, it is typically used for 8-12 weeks, but it is formulated for long-term nutritional management if required.
No. The diet is nutritionally complete and includes high levels of Omega-3s, vitamins, and antioxidants. Do not add supplements without consulting your vet.
Mild stool changes can occur during any diet transition. However, if symptoms are severe or persistent, contact your veterinarian.
Introduce the food more gradually over a longer period. Since it lacks traditional flavor enhancers, slightly warming the food or adding a small amount of warm water may help release the aroma.
Slow down the transition process by increasing the ratio of the previous diet back to a comfortable level for the dog's digestion before attempting to increase the Calibra proportion again.
When introducing Calibra VD Ultra-Hypoallergenic, it is recommended to transition slowly over 5 to 7 days by gradually mixing increasing amounts of the new food with the previous diet to prevent digestive upset. During an elimination diet trial, ensure that the dog consumes ONLY this food; avoid all treats, chews, or table scraps that may contain hidden proteins. Store the 12kg bag in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed tightly after every use to maintain the integrity of the vitamins and fatty acids. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside meals.
