The rising popularity of insect-based pet food
Insects are now undeniably revolutionising the pet food industry. A multitude of reputable pet brands now sells insect-based pet foods. Based on a market research projection, the insect protein market will reach an enormous $17.29 billion by 2030.
This eco-friendly alternative is, importantly, vet-recommended. A 2019 BBC article reports that the British Veterinary Association is enthusiastic about the nutritional value of insect protein. It claims that 'some insect-based foods may be better for pets than prime steak.' Many vets urge pet owners to feed their dogs and cats a diet rich in insects.
With the remarkable benefits of insect-based pet food in mind, let’s dive deeper to understand an outstanding insect snacks product.
Introducing Brit Care Crunchy Cracker Insect Series
Produced by reputable European Czech Republic brand Brit, this crunchy cracker series is an incredibly pawsome option. Of course, not only are insect-based dog treats eco-friendly, but they also serve as a nourishing plus enticing reward.
1) It’s super nourishing
All the scrumptious snack flavours from the Brit Care Crunchy Cracker Insect Series comprise 26% insect protein from black soldier fly larvae. The snacks are paired with other protein sources (e.g. rabbit, lamb, salmon, tuna, turkey and whey), along with other wholesome ingredients (e.g. fruits, berries, herbs and even probiotics).
The high omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content in all the snacks promotes healthy and shiny skin/coat, helping your dog look good and feel good.
They contain iron and calcium, plus other vital minerals and vitamins. The iron content will help your furbaby to maintain healthy muscle mass, bone structure, and other organ tissues. Furthermore, as the snacks include calcium, they contribute to a robust canine heart and healthy nervous system.
Rest assured, these snacks are hypoallergenic. Thus, they are safe and beneficial even for dogs with sensitive skin and digestive problems. They are also rich in antimicrobial, medium-chain fatty acids, which have proven gut health benefits. Their shell is made of chitin, an excellent fibre source that further boosts digestive health.
This complementary food series has 6 flavours that provide tailored nutrition for doggies. Each option specialises in 1 of the following health benefits: immune system boost, healthy digestion, weight management, fresh breath, and optimal growth in puppies.
In sum, they are lovely for pawrents looking for a healthier brand of dog treats.
2) It’s eco-friendly
One of the most striking benefits of insect-based pet food is its eco-friendliness. Insect protein has become increasingly popular amongst green-minded fur-parents as insect farming is kinder to our mother earth.
By choosing insect-based food, you will lower your pets’ carbon pawprint. Insect protein has a very low carbon footprint — it produces no greenhouse gases (e.g. methane), byproducts, or waste. Bonus: 1 ton of these tiny creatures can eat approximately 4.5 tons of organic waste (leftover plant matter), which is locally available and would otherwise end up in landfills.
Furthermore, the production of insect-based food is exceptionally energy-efficient. The production of 1 kg of insect-based food costs us merely 4% of the water and 2% of the land we need to produce the same amount of food using beef. This means we can make 25-50kg of insect-based pet food with the same amount of resources spent on farming 1kg of beef! Hence, the production of insect-based pet food is significantly more environmentally-friendly than traditional meat-based pet food.
Brit Care Crunchy Cracker Insects Series heeds the call of nature. Brit Crunchy Snacks come in fully recyclable LDPE 4 monomaterial packaging, slowing down the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills.
3) It’s yummy
Put your prejudice aside. Just because you don’t fancy eating yucky insects doesn’t mean that your dog will consider insect-based pet food unpalatable. On the contrary, a lot of dogs have wolfed down such foods, proving that it is a yummy choice.
Even before the rise of insect dog snacks, most pet canines have eaten bugs from time to time. So, yes, some types of insects are delicious for not only doggies in the wild but also pet dogs.
In sum, Brit Care Crunchy Cracker Insect Series will serve as tempting rewards for pet dogs since they naturally eat insects.
4) It's excellent for vegetarian/ vegan pet owners
Brit Care Crunchy Cracker Insect Series is fantastic for pet owners who are vegans/vegetarians.
Cruelty is minimised in industrial insect farming because the conditions in such farms are very close to insects' natural habitats, where millions of them congregate together.
