Mr Bug is going beyond its range of sustainable, grain-free Bug Bites treats for dogs with an all-new Superfood Shaker that can be used as a nutritious meal topper. The Superfood Shaker is a nutritional mealworm supplement and a source of hypoallergenic protein that's easy to add to a dog's daily meal. Dried mealworms are a source of 53% protein, 28% healthy fat, 6% fiber, 5% moisture, plus amino acids and minerals.
Pet owners are embracing alternative protein sources for their pets, especially from insects, as a means of better aligning their purchasing choices with their deep-seated values of sustainability. This shift reflects a growing awareness that choosing insect-based meals, treats, and toppers not only nourishes their pets but also contributes to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient pet food industry.
