Insect protein is becoming increasingly popular in both human and animal nutrition, with Europe leading the way in insect farming. Organisations like Ynsect and Protix are at the forefront of this movement, thanks to the many benefits insect protein offers.
As a nutritious and sustainable alternative to meat, insects-based food is an excellent option for dogs. In this article, we’ll explore why they make a great addition to your pet’s diet.
Dogs and cats need plenty of protein to stay active and healthy. While traditional pet food relies on meat meal for protein, insect protein offers a cleaner, more sustainable alternative—free from antibiotics and hormones. Plus, it boasts an impressive protein content of up to 70%! Compare that to fresh chicken or steak, which contain just 25%, and the choice becomes clear.
Insect protein is also incredibly pure. It’s produced in closed, controlled farms with minimal risk of disease—unlike some traditional farms where hygiene and animal welfare aren’t always a priority.
Nearly 10% of dogs suffer from allergic symptoms, often triggered by common animal proteins like chicken, beef, and lamb. Since Imby’s recipes avoid these ingredients, many dogs experience relief from itching, skin irritations, and other allergy-related issues.
Studies show that less than 2% of dogs with food allergies react to insect protein, making it an excellent alternative for sensitive pups. Imby’s formulas also exclude dairy, wheat, barley, and corn—further reducing the risk of irritation.
Give your dog the comfort they deserve with Imby’s hypoallergenic, insect-based nutrition!
Dogs require 10 essential amino acids in their diet, as their bodies can’t produce them on their own. The mealworm larvae used in insect-based dog food are naturally rich in all 10, making them an excellent meat alternative.
One of these vital amino acids is taurine, which is essential for both dogs and cats. Mealworm insect powder provides a natural and substantial source of taurine, supporting digestion and healthy bowel movements in cats. For dogs, taurine plays a key role in muscle growth and the central nervous system.
Unlike traditional dog food, which often requires taurine supplementation, insect-based nutrition offers a naturally high dose—helping to keep your pet healthy and thriving.
Insects and plant-based ingredients are far more sustainable than traditional meat. Livestock like cows, sheep, and chickens require vast amounts of resources to grow, making protein conversion inefficient. In contrast, insect larvae excel at turning plant-based waste into high-quality protein, all while having a much shorter life cycle—just 1 to 3 months, depending on the species.
Did you know that dogs and cats consume 20% of the world’s meat production? With both the global population and pet ownership on the rise, switching to sustainable protein sources is more important than ever. Insect-based dog food offers a complete, nutritious, and eco-friendly alternative—helping both your pet and the planet.
Insect-based dog food is a hit with our four-legged friends! Unlike humans, dogs don’t judge their meals by appearance—they rely entirely on smell. And when it comes to insect protein, the aroma is just as appealing as traditional meat-based treats.
Imby’s recipes score an impressive 9/10 in taste tests—a result many meat-based brands would envy! So, if you’re looking for a tasty, nutritious, and sustainable alternative, your pup is sure to love every bite.
