The Buzz about Insects in Pet Food - Part 2

In this Pet Nutrition Show episode, Dr. Anna Sutton and Amanda Falconer dive deep into the world of bugs in pet food - specifically the Black Soldier Fly.

They continue the conversation on how and why insects are being used in pet nutrition, with Martin Pike, the CEO and co-founder Viridian Renewable Technology, an Australian company making protein from insects, and specifically the black solider fly larvae (BSFL). They cover how insect protein could help dogs with kidney problems because it's high in calcium and low in phosphorous. They also discuss how bugs in pet food might improve gut health, make chicken eggs better, and surprisingly, how pets love the taste! Plus, farming insects for food is good for the planet and the wallet.

Dr. Anna also suggests giving your dogs the fatty bits from your steak - it's okay and they'll love you for it.
