Why Nala Health
Black soldier fly larvae are a complete protein with all the essential amino acids. Because it is new to most dogs, it suits many who react to common meats.
Fibre, chicory root, probiotics and butyrate work together to support healthy digestion and a balanced gut.
Made without chicken, beef, egg, dairy, soy, wheat or maize, the ingredients dogs most often react to.
Formulated with animal nutritionists, with DHA from marine algae, taurine and L-carnitine in every recipe.
Insect protein
Insects have been part of diets around the world for thousands of years. For dogs, insect protein is nutritious, easy to digest and a useful choice when common proteins such as chicken or beef cause trouble.

Our story
Nala was a Rhodesian Ridgeback rescued from a farm outside Cape Town: the smallest of her litter, underfed and shy. She grew into a strong, much-loved member of our family for more than thirteen years.
Her food sensitivities sent us looking for better nutrition. Nala Health is what we learned, made into complete food for other dogs like her. Nala means “gift” in Swahili.
It is dog food whose main protein comes from insects rather than meat or fish. Nala Health uses black soldier fly larvae, a complete protein that contains all the essential amino acids dogs need, combined with gluten-free ancient grains, vegetables and plant extracts.
It is formulated with that in mind. The recipes are made without chicken, beef, egg, dairy, soy, wheat or maize, and insect protein is new to most dogs, so many dogs with food sensitivities do well on it. No food can be guaranteed allergy-free, and itching or stomach trouble can have other causes, so speak to your vet if symptoms continue.
Choose by age and size: Puppy for growing dogs, Adult Small Breed for adults under about 10 kg, Adult Medium to Large Breed for adults over 10 kg, and Senior and Weight Management for older dogs or adults who need to watch their weight.
Yes. Trial bags are available for every recipe so you can check that your dog enjoys the food first.
Gradually, over about seven days: mix a little Nala Health into the current food and increase the share each day. For very sensitive dogs, take 10 to 14 days.
