BugsforPets Dog – Crispy Dry Food

BugsforPets Dog

BugsforPets is a Dutch family business that specialises in animal food based on insects. The dog food from BugsforPets contains a single protein source, insects. In Europe insects are rarely used as a source of protein in pet food. This means that the risk of your dog having developed an allergy to insects is very small. A hypersensitivity to food means that the dog has a(n) (excessive or allergic) reaction to specific ingredients in the food.

Sustainability

The processing of the Black Soldier Flies in the BugsforPets dog food takes place in the Netherlands. The BSF fly has a life cycle of just 8 weeks. In addition, the number of litres of water needed to produce proteins from the meat of this fly is very low. To process in 1 kg of protein from the BSF flies, about 8 litres of water are used, where 8350 litres of water are needed to gain 1 kg of protein from cows. The BSF larvae are cultivated exclusively with vegetable materials, under GMP+ certification by an NVWA accredited grower.
