While the Cravin’ Cricket product combines nutritious ingredients like carrots, green beans, garbanzo beans, pumpkin and crickets, the Good Grub variety contains carrots, green beans, sweet potato, flaxseed, pumpkin, and black soldier fly larvae ([BSFL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-protein-dog-treats).) Both of these new wet food dog products are cooked at low temperatures and under high pressure in order to preserve the most nutritional benefits possible. These products speak to pet owners who are exploring alternative protein sources themselves, especially for the sake of sustainability. The newest innovations from the insect-based dog food and treat brand were recently shown at the Global Pet Expo 2022. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alternative Protein Sources for Pet Food:** The use of insects and larvae in pet food speaks to consumers who are interested in sustainable and non-traditional protein sources. - **Low-temperature, High-pressure Cooking Techniques for Pet Food:** Utilizing cooking techniques that preserve nutritional benefits can be appealing to discerning pet owners. - **Versatile Dog Food Formulas:** Offering both full meals and meal toppers could be a way to provide convenience and variety to pet owners. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Food:** Incorporating alternative protein sources and innovative cooking techniques can disrupt the traditional pet food industry. - **Sustainable Agriculture:** The use of insect-based ingredients in pet food could lead to opportunities for sustainable agriculture industries. - **Packaged Food:** Offering versatile dog food formulas could appeal to manufacturers in the packaged food industry to expand into the pet food market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Insect Protein Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-protein-dog-treats.md) - [Bug-Based Dog Dental Chews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dental-chews-for-dogs.md) - [Critter-Packed Canine Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canine-treats.md) - [Insect-Based Dog Food Toppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-bites.md) - [Insect-Infused Dog Food Toppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-meal-toppers.md) - [Alternative Protein Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-dog-treats.md) - [Insect Protein Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nooch-puffs.md) - [Future-Ready Pet Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmopet.md) - [Superfood Mealworm Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfood-shaker.md)
