Sustainability
Why crunch creepy-crawlies?
Your eco-conscious choices should include your pet's diet. Insect protein is a significantly more sustainable and kinder option than livestock protein. For owners with doubts about the ethics and impact of animals reared for pet food, insects are the answer — and they give your dog a much smaller carbon paw print.
Cut down on carbon
Global meat production contributes up to 25% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Insect farming emits 100× less CO₂ than livestock and no nitrous oxide or methane. Sourcing and producing locally saves even more.
Less land, lower impact
About 26% of ice-free land is grazing land for farm animals, and 80% of farmland grows feed for them. Farming Black Soldier Fly Larvae uses 50× less land — these tiny insects don't need much space, and nothing extra is grown to feed them.
Way less water wasted
Growing a kilo of larvae uses 20× less water than a kilo of meat. With half the world's population facing water scarcity, choosing a water-wise brand for your dog matters — especially in Cape Town.
