Functional nutrition to support the health of dogs and cats
Our functional components for pet food are a source of ingredients with a proven impact on health, immunity, digestion and palatability. They are hypoallergenic and natural. Ideal for formulations that support pet wellbeing.
Immune
support
Antimicrobial peptides and lauric acid in our products stimulate the immune system by strengthening the body’s natural protective barrier, and reducting pathogen pressure.
Healthy gut
microbiota
Chitin has a prebiotic effect, supporting the development of beneficial gut microbiota, while antimicrobial peptides and lauric acid help limit pathogen proliferation, which has a positive impact on digestion, immunity and overall condition.
Liver health and lipid regulation
The unique profile and ratio of fatty acids help lower triglycerides and cholesterol. This, as well as further chitin action supports liver function and helps protect itagainst fatty liver.
Overall condition and metabolism
Medium-chain fatty acids support energy metabolism, regulate lipid metabolism and contribute positively to overall animal health.
Hypoalergenic
Insect protein is characterised by short peptide chains and low immunogenicity, reducing the risk of food allergies. Ideal for elimination diets.
Healthy coat and skin
Thanks to lauric acid and chitin, our compounds support skin regeneration, reduce inflammation and improve coat condition.
Calm animals
A balanced gut microbiota supports serotonin and dopamine levels, helping to reduce stress and anxiety in companion animals.
Anti-aging effect
Antioxidant compounds, along with lipid regulation and microbiota support, help the body fight inflammation and oxidative stress, slowing the ageing process.

FAQ
In Europe, there are over 650 pet food products for dogs and cats that include insect-based feed materials. The range includes both complete and veterinary diets, from treats, via wet and dry petfood, in various forms. In Poland, examples include Insect Dog, Select Gold, Brit, and local brands like Pupil and BozzDog.
Insect-based pet foods are highly palatable. It’s worth noting that many pet food manufacturers conduct their own palatability tests in reputable research centres before launching a product. Dogs and cats also have their own flavour preferences. Hermetia illucens naturally contains a high level of fat, which enhances the palatability of the food.
More and more veterinarians recommend insect-based pet foods, especially for animals with digestive or skin problems. Insect components also positively affect gut microbiota and exhibit antimicrobial properties, supporting pets' immunity, overall condition, and wellbeing.
Yes, protein from Hermetia illucens is one of the most hypoallergenic protein sources. It contains none of the typical allergens found not only in poultry or soy, but also in premium meats such as beef or lamb. Since food allergies to insect protein are extremely rare, it is often used in veterinary diets for dogs and cats prone to allergies.
Yes, feed components derived from Hermetia illucens larvae are suitable for feeding dogs and cats and are completely safe. The protein and its amino acid profile are highly digestible, meaning they are well absorbed in the digestive tract. They also offer a range of valuable functional properties. It’s important to remember that properly balancing pet food is key, and a multi-ingredient meal must fully meet the nutritional requirements specific to each species.
