A Behind-the-Bowl Look at Our Insect Protein
July 03, 2025 1 min read
Good food starts long before it hits the bowl.
That’s why we’re serious about sourcing - and why we’re proud to work with brilliant local suppliers like Maltento, right here in Cape Town.
They grow the black soldier fly larvae that powers our insect recipe. Sustainably farmed, packed with nutrition, and gentle on the planet, this incredible protein source is a smart choice for dogs with food sensitivities - and for humans who care about where their pup’s food comes from.
Why Insect Protein for Dogs?
Here’s what makes insect protein remarkable:
It’s not just novel - it’s packed with functional benefits.
- The larvae are fed a scientifically formulated diet for optimum hound health
- Hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive stomachs
- Supports cognitive development and gut health
- Requires far less land and water, and produces fewer emissions than traditional protein farming
- And every batch is raised with your dog’s wellbeing at the centre of the process
Every batch is raised with your dog’s wellbeing at the centre of the process - and we’re proud to include this thoughtful, locally sourced protein in our fresh food range.
See where and how our insect protein is grown.
We’re proud to be part of a local food system that’s thinking differently about what nourishment means - for dogs and the planet. And we’re even prouder that you are part of this story with us.
