Frequently Asked Questions

Definitely not. Our insect-based food, like the rest of our range is compromise free. It’s complete and
nutritionally balanced.

Absolutely. Not only is it a complete food ready to go, but insects actually contain more protein than chicken or beef!

First of all, insects are sustainably sourced and use far fewer of the planet’s resources. The process of cold pressing food uses minimal energy and all our products are packed in sustainable recyclable, biodegradable and compostable packaging.

No, it’s dry food but that’s where the similarities end. Kibble is extruded at very high tempertures. While cold pressed is gently pressed at much lower temperatures to retain nutrients and preserve the benefits of our carefully selected ingredients.

Nope! Switching to insect based is suitable even for the most squeamish pet owner. It looks exactly the same as our other cold pressed pellets.

We get it. Insect based dog food is a bit of a change from standard flavours. That’s why we’ve created the recipe to be fed alone or alongside your standard proteins. We’re all about offering choice and lightening our environmental impact one bowl at a time. Insects are a fantastic source of animal protein, packed with protein and highly digestible. Not only that, but they are hypoallergenic and low in purines, so perfect for dogs with sensitivities.

As with most of our food, Insect Protein is 100% grain free.

Absolutely – we recommend feeding from 2 months onwards, and introducing it slowly by blending with their existing puppy food over the period of 7-10 days.

We sell our food in 10kg boxes and 2kg boxes. But you can also purchase our food in just the inner eco paper bag without the box at a 5% price reduction.

It's a great way to save money and reduce your environmental impact by reusing your outer cardboard box.

    Novel protein

    Have a dog with a sensitive stomach and has been hard to find something that both suits his stomach and he will actually eat. Was a bit sceptical coming away from the normal meats but he loves this food and being a single ingredient it also suits his stomach. A 10kg bag lasts over a month and would last a smaller dog even longer. May not be the cheapest around but more than worth the money for the quality of the food

    Wilsons is the only brand I buy

    I can see that this food is good for my dogs digestive system as it has improved her constipation problems. I like feeding my dog the instect protein and the vegan options of Wilsons dry food, as they are more sustainable. However, I do not exclusively feed my dog dry food, she gets raw meats alongside.

    You wouldn't know it was made from insects and my dog love it!

    I use this for training treats. My dog is always eager to behave when she knows I have some in my pocket. She definitely enjoys the taste. She's prone to allergies, but this doesn't seem to affect her.

    Pleased to buy dog food that reduces environmental impact

    8 year old Jack Russell seems happy with this. I like the packaging & glad to not be buying meat based environmentally damaging dog food.

    Approved by Kenver

    My Dalmatian has been suffering food allergies for ages. All the standard meats seem to be a problem for him, especially beef. He’s been on the cold pressed insect food for 6 weeks with great results. He no longer has a weepy eye and his dally rash has gone down loads already. I was sceptical he would continue eating this as he’s been raw fed for a year and a half but he loves it so a winner all round.
