Insects VS Traditional Meats : Revolutionize Your Dog’s Diet ⚡️

Which Kibble Should You Choose ? What Are the Benefits of Insect Protein ?

There are many types of kibble available on the market. The question is: how to make the right choice ? Indeed, the quality of your dog's food is essential to ensure a happy and healthy dog. But do you know what really lies behind the protein in kibble? Today, we invite you to compare traditional animal protein with insect protein.

1) Quality Protein vs Low-Grade Protein: Give Your Dog the Best ❤️

Protein quality is one of the most important criteria to guarantee a balanced and healthy diet.

* Regarding traditional meat protein : Two types of kibble exist. Those containing muscle meat or nutrient-rich animal meals, and those containing animal by-products (feathers, cartilage, tendons, etc.), which provide little nutritional value and are less digestible for your dog. It is important to know that many brands use these by-products, mainly for economic reasons. 
* Regarding insect protein : Insects are rich in essential amino acids, highly digestible (over 85%), and perfect for meeting the nutritional needs of dogs, including those with food sensitivities. This makes insect protein an excellent quality protein. With insect protein based kibble, you offer your dog a balanced easy to digest diet without compromise. 

⚠️ Reminder : To evaluate protein quality, check the ratio between protein content and phosphorus content. If it is below 25, the protein is of poor quality; if above 35, the protein is of good quality.

2) Ethical Farming vs Unethical Farming: Choose Respect 🙏🏼

The choice of protein in kibble reflects ethical decisions that impact animals and the environment.

* Traditional farming : The reign of animal suffering ❌

Traditional meat production, especially in intensive farming, raises many issues: often harsh living conditions, excessive use of antibiotics, lack of animal welfare, and deplorable conditions in slaughterhouses. These practices, although common, are worrying and far from ethical. 

* Insect farming : A more respectful alternative 😇

Insects raised for animal feed are farmed in natural and sustainable conditions. They require little space, do not suffer from overpopulation, and their life cycle is respected, making insect farming much more ethical. Choosing insect protein based kibble means supporting a more humane production compared to traditional farming.

3) Ecological vs Non-Ecological : A Gesture for the Planet 🌎

Our dogs’ food has a direct environmental impact.

* Traditional meat: A considerable impact 🌊

Meat production is one of the most polluting activities: high carbon footprint, enormous water consumption, large agricultural area needed for livestock and their feed. For more details and data, you can visit our page: The Insects. 

* Insect protein: A sustainable solution 🍃

Insects consume far less water, produce less CO2, require much less agricultural land, and can be fed with organic waste (our insects are fed with leftover olive harvests from the Mediterranean region). By choosing insect protein based kibble, you make a more environmentally friendly choice and actively contribute to reducing your ecological footprint.

4) But That’s Not All! 🙌🏽

Insects are not only a quality, ethical, and ecological alternative but also offer many health benefits for your dog :

• Hypoallergenic : Insect proteins are ideal for dogs allergic or intolerant to common proteins such as beef or chicken. They help reduce redness, itching, and skin problems. 

• Rich in Nutrients : Besides protein, they contain essential fatty acids (like lauric acid, beneficial for the immune system) and minerals such as zinc, essential for your dog’s vitality.

• High Digestibility : Thanks to their simple structure and high quality, insect proteins promote optimal digestion, reducing the risk of digestive issues in sensitive dogs. This helps your dog have better stools.

• Rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 : Contributing to healthy skin and coat.
