Create a routine where you monitor these signs so you quickly discover any changes in your dog.

Can dogs eat insect protein?

Black soldierfly larvae are the perfect source of protein for dogs as they contain all the 10 essential amino acids dogs require as well as healthy fats, fibre and minerals. There is a pressing need to find new, more sustainable sources of food. In particular, we need more environmentally-friendly sources of protein, as meat production accounts for approximately 60% of CO2 emissions globally. Marine sources of protein also put pressure on the environment with overfishing and unethical fishing methods. Insect protein provides one solution for complete, tasty and sustainable protein for both our dogs and us.

Food allergy and intolerance

Food allergies and intolerances can cause your dog to have itchy skin. It is tricky to find the food that triggers your dog’s itchy skin and this can be frustrating. To understand the problem and find the right treatment, it is important to distinguish between food allergies and food intolerance/-sensitivity. Although in practice it often produces very similar symptoms. These symptoms are usually not seasonal, such as with pollen allergy.
