PRODUCTION: Our insect protein is sourced from The Netherlands. Except for insect protein, we only use EU-sourced plant based ingredients, with the exception of yucca schidigera which comprises 0,01% of our diet and is grown in California. We also produce our food in The Netherlands, in close proximity to the insect facility.

Insects are incredibly nutrient-rich. They are an animal protein source, rich in the same essential nutrients that your pet would get from traditional meat. This means that insects contain all the protein and amino acids your dog needs to get energy and build muscles.

As a bonus, the black soldier fly larvae have high digestibility, which means that your pet can easily digest and absorb the valuable protein. On top of that, our amazing insects also provide essential fatty acids and minerals!

Our products are packed with nutrition from natural and carefully selected ingredients. In our premium food a healthy mix of oats, vegetables, and superfoods such as kale, seaweed and parsley provide a natural boost of energy and natural vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Insects is our only animal ingredient - the rest is plant based. Our insects are resistant to disease and grow quickly on their own. Thanks to this, our production is completely free of unwanted substances such as antibiotics and growth hormones.

Our diets contains healthy dietary fibers and prebiotics from natural sources, which has proven beneficial effects on the intestinal bacterial flora. Just like in humans, research has shown how a healthy intestinal flora in dogs and cats has positive effects on the body's well-being and general immune system.

Nutrients that feed the good bacteria in the gut are called prebiotics. Our feed contains natural prebiotics from the chicory root (inulin; FOS), to give the good intestinal bacteria optimal conditions to thrive. Dietary fiber contributes with an increased feeling of satiety, a healthy movement of intestines and passage time of the feed. In our feed, among other ingredients, beetroot contributes with natural dietary fibre.

The insect protein we use is also highly digestible, allowing the important nutrients in the feed to be easily absorbed. This, in combination with our products being naturally gluten free, make them extra kind to the digestive system.

In a survey conducted together with SLU on dogs with food allergy, 88% of owners saw an improvement in gastrointestinal symtoms after switching to insect based.

During the spring of 2024, Petgood collaborated with a student from SLU to investigate how dog owners of dogs with food allergies perceived their dog's symptoms after switching to an insect-based diet.

The results for dogs with only food allergies showed that 79% of pet owners reported improvement in all symptoms (itching/skin irritation/red paws, ear infections, coat problems, and gastrointestinal symptoms) after switching to the insect-based diet.
