Frequently asked questions
Do dogs like insects?
Dogs love insects! Have you ever caught your dog chasing flies around the backyard and often devouring them? We certainly have.
We have little or no pushback on our farmed insects dog food and cricket treats! Actually, dogs seem to love the taste and in many cases, people write to us to say that our food is more palatable than their regular food and that their dog now refuses to eat anything other than our insect formula!
Beyond the positive feedback we get every day from our clients, many studies show that the palatability of insects is comparable or superior to conventional proteins.
The best way to make up your mind is to try it out!
Where do black soldier flies come from?
Black Soldier Flies (BSF) are the specific species of insects hermetia illucens.
Contrary to what some people think, we do not chase after common black flies to create our food! We actually use quality-controlled dehydrated BSF powder and oil, that comes in a uniform and ready-to-use form.
We source our BSF from insect rearing facilities located in Canada.
Is the use of insects more humane & ethical?
Most experts claim that insects do not feel pain the same way mammals or other animals do.
Although they do feel nociception, the sensory nervous system's response to stimuli that is considered harmful, this does not create the sensation of pain. The current definition of pain requires an emotional response, which insects do not seem to have. This puts insects in a category Also, insects naturally thrive when they are reared in a condensed area (this is a biological imperative for reproduction and growth phases), it is their natural inclination.
Therefore, there is no contradiction in farming insects and their natural way of being.
Are insects safe for dogs?
Yes, absolutely! Dogs will naturally seek to consume insects when given the opportunity. Dogs have been eating insects for thousands of years, can easily digest them, and love their taste! Studies have shown that insect protein is actually as good or superior in terms of digestibility compared to beef or chicken.
With regards to insects being used as a protein in general, they appear to be a safe ingredient. The European Food Safety Authority published a risk profile of insects as feed. The committee’s opinion is that if insects are fed materials that are currently allowed for consumption (for example how our BSF consume clean, pre-consumer food waste), then the occurrence of microbiological hazards are expected to be comparable to that of other non-processed animal protein sources. They also state that environmental hazards are expected to be comparable to other animal production systems. In short, it is likely that if care is taken in the sourcing of the insects themselves, the microbiological and environmental risk of feeding insects should be minimal if any.
Note: only feed quality-controlled insect protein sourced from insect farms to your pet and not any insect found outside. Not all insects are edible for animals (nor humans).
