Why insects?

  • Super insects

    Black Soldier Fly larvae pack 60% protein with a complete amino-acid profile — naturally easy to digest and kind to sensitive stomachs.

    Read about our nutrition 

  • A tiny paw print

    Insects need a fraction of the land of beef or chicken. Every bowl of Aiko leaves more room for the wild things.

    Our sustainability story 

  • Water-wise, Cape Town style

    A kilo of insect protein uses a thimble of water compared with conventional meat. Good for your dog, good for the dam levels.

Verified reviews from aikoplanet.com and Absolute Pets

★★★★★

“I’ve heard about the benefits of insect protein. Initially I raised my eyebrows, then gave it a go and couldn’t be happier. My pup loves it! It’s a more sustainable way forward — thanks Aiko!”

“So happy to have finally found a cruelty-free dog food for my baby girl, Looter. The only other option was spending hours making her food from scratch. She loves it, which is such a relief! Also — obsessed with the branding.”

★★★★★

“Healthy, fab dog food. No nasties, all good ingredients — and the kibble breaks up easily for her treat ball, which keeps her busy when I leave the house.”

Questions dog parents ask us

Will my dog actually eat insect food?

Most dogs switch happily — the kibble is crunchy and savoury, and insect protein is naturally palatable. If yours is fussy, start with the R50 sample bag and mix it into the current food over 5–7 days. If they still don't love it, send the bag back within 30 days, however much is left, for a full refund.

How does the subscription work?

Choose a bag and a rhythm on the product page — every month or every 2 months. Each delivery is 10% off (free delivery over R1 000) and you're only charged when it ships. After your second delivery you can skip, change the rhythm or cancel from your account — no emails or phone calls needed.

Can I cancel?

Yes — after your second delivery, any time from your account, no call needed. You can also skip a delivery or change the rhythm.

Is it a complete diet?

Yes. Aiko is formulated as a complete and balanced food for adult dogs (and a separate recipe for puppies), with vitamins, minerals, taurine and L-carnitine included. It's reviewed and recommended by registered vets.

How much should I feed?

Every product page has a feeding guide by weight and activity level. A 6kg bag lasts a 20kg moderately active dog about 3½ weeks, and a 10kg dog nearly 6 weeks.

I have several dogs — is there a bulk price?

Yes. Order 3 or more bags at once and 15% comes off automatically in the cart — no code needed. Orders over R1 000 ship free. Bulk pricing is for one-off orders; subscriptions get their own 10% on every delivery.

Where do you deliver and how fast?

Anywhere in South Africa. Orders ship within one working day and usually arrive in 2–4 working days. Delivery is calculated at checkout — free on orders over R1 000.

Prefer to just grab a bag?

Vet-approved, hypoallergenic dog food made with insect protein and superfoods in Cape Town. Adult, small breed and puppy recipes, training treats and R50 sample bags. Subscribe for 10% off and free delivery anywhere in South Africa.
