Super Fly is the first insect-based product line from Scout & Zoe’s and it includes a whole-larvae treat, a dry powdered larvae meal topper and jerky made frim dried black soldier fly larvae. True to its mission of making pet food and treats that are nutritious, pet-pleasing and supportive of the earth, Scout & Zoe’s turned to insect protein for its protein-rich makeup and small carbon footprint. As Cindy Dunston Quirk, CEO of Scout & Zoe’s, says "Our Super Fly products are able to make a positive environmental impact and positively impact the pets who eat them, too."
