WELLSOME Insect Protein Dog Food: Frequently Asked Questions

Insect Protein: The Core of WELLSOME

1. What meat is WELLSOME made from?

WELLSOME uses 100% insect protein from black soldier fly larvae, rigorously tested and quality-certified. It is a new-generation, environmentally sustainable biological protein source with a high protein content and richer nutrition than conventional proteins.

2. What are the black soldier fly larvae fed, and are they clean and safe?

The larvae are raised entirely on a clean, closed-loop diet of fresh vegetables and fruits and traditional herbal ingredients, with no antibiotic residues or harmful chemicals, ensuring maximum purity before they go into production.

3. Why use insect protein instead of traditional beef, chicken or pork?

Insect protein is a hypoallergenic protein source that greatly reduces the risk of reactions to common animal proteins. It also provides high levels of bioactive peptides and natural lauric acid, which help fight oxidation.

4. What do lauric acid and peptides in insect protein do for my dog?

Lauric acid (a valuable fatty acid also found in mother's milk) works together with bioactive peptides to provide natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory support, strengthen the immune system, and neutralize free radicals that contribute to cellular aging.

Allergies, Tear Stains & Shedding

5. My dog itches and scratches constantly because of protein allergies. Is WELLSOME suitable?

Absolutely. Made with 100% hypoallergenic insect protein in place of conventional animal proteins, WELLSOME helps relieve itching, redness and food-allergy-related skin inflammation in dogs.

6. My dog (such as a Poodle or Bichon) has yellow-brown tear stains and sheds a lot. Will this food help?

The combination of insect protein and organic ingredients helps noticeably reduce tear staining (stains at the corners of the eyes) and shedding caused by food allergies in dogs.

7. Does WELLSOME contain grains?

WELLSOME is Grain-Free and contains no corn, wheat or soy, which removes the risk of gluten sensitivity and avoids bloating in dogs with sensitive stomachs.

8. What premium organic ingredients are in the food?

WELLSOME is enriched with clean organic superfoods: Organic Peas, Organic Flaxseed and Organic Radish Powder. These provide natural fiber, support gut health and nourish healthy blood vessels.

The 100-Day Promise & Joint Health

9. How does WELLSOME improve joint health?

WELLSOME is committed to visibly improving your pet's mobility and joint flexibility after 100 days of use, thanks to a proprietary, patented joint-care formula.

10. Should dogs with weak hind legs, joint degeneration, or short-legged breeds (Corgi, Dachshund) eat this food?

Highly recommended. The patented joint-care compound helps support cartilage, lubricate joints and reduce inflammation and discomfort, giving special protection to the spine and limb joints of high-risk dogs.

11. My senior dog struggles to move and walks with a limp. Can this food help?

Yes. For older dogs, the patented joint formula helps nourish aging joints. Combined with easily digestible insect protein, it helps your dog regain more comfortable mobility.

Taste, Palatability & No Artificial Flavors

12. What does insect-based kibble taste like? Will my picky eater eat it?

The kibble has a naturally rich, nutty aroma that dogs find new and appealing. Most picky eaters love it from the very first try, thanks to the natural flavor from seaweed and brewer's yeast.

13. Is insect-based kibble really tasty?

WELLSOME uses a special formula that replaces additives with natural seaweed and brewer's yeast, creating an authentic, savory richness that stimulates your dog's appetite in the safest way possible.

14. What are the dark powder or porous spots on the surface of the kibble? Is it mold?

That is natural brewer's yeast, evenly coated on each kibble to enhance flavor and add gut-friendly probiotics. It is not mold and does not mean the food has spoiled.

Who It's For, Kibble Size & Product Details

15. What age of dog is WELLSOME for?

WELLSOME is specially formulated for adult dogs, which need nutrition that provides targeted skin, coat and joint protection.

16. What do the kibbles look like, and what size are they?

The kibble is a dry, rounded-edge triangle in a characteristic dark brown color from the brewer's yeast. At a standard 8 mm, it fits comfortably in your dog's jaw.

17. Will 8 mm kibble be too big for small dogs like Poodles or Pomeranians?

The 8 mm flat triangular kibble is crisp and light, so small breeds can easily bite it apart without choking or tiring their jaws.

18. Where does WELLSOME come from, and who makes it?

WELLSOME is made in South Korea, researched and produced by AL NETWORK on production lines that meet international food safety standards (HACCP).

19. What is the package weight and packaging format?

Each bag weighs 1.2 kg in total and contains six convenient 200 g sachets, which keep the kibble fresh and crunchy and provide maximum protection against moisture and mold.

Heart Health, Digestion & Storage

20. How does WELLSOME deliver its “Healthy Arteries” benefit?

Premium organic nutrients and healthy fatty acids in the kibble provide clean energy, help keep blood vessels flexible, and support a healthy circulatory system and heart for the long term.

21. What will my dog's stool look like on insect protein kibble?

Thanks to its high organic fiber content and the excellent biocompatibility of insect protein, dogs absorb nearly all of the nutrients. Stools are typically well-formed and neat, with noticeably less odor.

22. How do I switch my dog with a sensitive stomach from their old food to WELLSOME?

We recommend the classic 7-day transition: Days 1–2, mix in 25% WELLSOME; Days 3–4, increase to 50%; Days 5–6, reach 75%; and on Day 7, feed 100% WELLSOME. This lets your dog's digestive system adjust naturally to the new clean protein source.

23. How should I store the 200 g sachets after opening?

Because the food comes in individual 200 g sachets, simply open one at a time and feed it over a few days. Roll the top down tightly or clip the bag closed, and store it in a cool, dry place. The kibble stays fresh and flavorful without refrigeration.
