Bug-Based Dog Dental Chews

These Dental Chews for Dogs by Jiminy’s are Made with Insect Protein

Jiminy’s introduced a new kind of dental chews for dogs that nourish pets, clean teeth and freshen breath at the same time. The Cinnamon Dental Chews are made with superfoods and insect protein, specifically, black soldier fly larvae. This insect ingredient contains anti-microbial medium-chain fatty acids that can help to reduce oral inflammation while also providing sustainable benefits. These free-from dental chews for dogs are formulated without artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, gluten or meat.

Dog owners are purchasing insect-based food and treat for their pets as a means of supporting a more sustainable future and exploring alternative protein sources. For many environmentally conscious consumers, this is an important part of reducing the environmental impact of pet food, as it reduces their reliance on traditional animal-based proteins.
