See feeding guide in pictures above. The daily feeding guide values are guidelines and are dependent upon the age, breed and activity level of your dog. Fresh drinking water should always be available.

Insects are incredibly nutrient-rich. They are an animal protein source, rich in the same essential nutrients that your dog 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 wet food contains the natural prebiotic inulin from the chicory root, 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.

Prebiotics in combination with the highly digestible insect protein, make our wet food extra kind to the digestive system.

Our wet food contains insect fat, rich in the healthy fatty acid lauric acid, which has been shown to have anti-oxidant activity. Lauric acid is a type of fatty acid called a Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT). MCT's have been proven to be beneficial to the health of the dog's brain, and even have potential to slow down signs of canine cognitive decline or "dementia" (read more about this interesting article on insect fat on our research page!)

The diet also contains sunflower oil, packed with omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat health.

We always follow the latest scientific recommendations on nutrition when creating our recipes. Our products are developed by our own team of vets and small animal nutritionists to ensure the best possible nutrition for dogs and promote their health. Additionally, in collaboration with leading universities, Petgoods' veterinary team is actively advancing research on insect protein.
