Pictured below is Lola, AKA Mrs Lollipops . As you can see she likes cuddling ducklings, climbing fallen tree stumps and pretending to wear a burka .
She has very sensitive skin and frequently suffers from localised outbreaks of small sores. We have tried all sorts of food for her and can just about keep on top of it with careful selection of her food and going for various free from ranges.
I`ve just heard about this which is insect based and apparently very good for dogs with allergies. There are several dog owners on here, i wonder if any of you have ever tried this or similar and if so what feedback do you have ?

I'm assuming that insect chitin isn't toxic to dogs the way that it is for humans.
 
I'd like to see what you turn up. Especially, what percentage of diet is insect-based in regions where consumption of insects is common.

Our springer had bad skin, we tried all sorts of food and none seemed to make a difference.
We asked a vet who basically said all you can do is keep trying different food, to see if it’s food causing it.
I think we found a cream that helped stop him scratching at his skin but food never made a difference.

Good luck.
 
Our last dog was prone to skin flare ups, inflamed paws and ear infections when we got her.
We ended up with purina hypo allergenic as the core kibble choice. Any bread based stuff used to trigger reactions
within 24 hrs (probably the yeast), so also moved to grain free treats etc.

Our vets said we could go for full allergy screening at over 500 quid, which would still not be definitve, or just experiment,
which is what we did. We had most bad things isolated after about 3 months.
We got a few sprays and creams to help stuff on bad days - anicura, leucillin, non-stinky stuff.
