Smaller ecological “pawprint”

The European Union believes insects are an excellent alternative source of protein. As their instincts tell them the same thing, animals have been eating insects for millions of years. It is a lesser known fact that owing to the high quality of protein extracted from insects, they also represent a new source of energy for food sensitive cats and dogs. No wonder that larvae protein use is spreading fast in the premium pet food segment. One of the reasons for this is that there are quite a few over-bred dog and cat breeds. The digestive systems of these tend to be very sensitive, so if owners want to keep them healthy, they must give them special food – such as insect-based cat and dog food.
