Frequently Asked Questions

Are novel proteins safe for all pets?
Yes, when formulated to meet AAFCO standards. However, pets with specific medical conditions should consult a veterinarian before switching diets.
Will my pet eat insect-based protein?
Most pets adapt quickly once the food is properly processed and flavored. Our formulas use natural palatants and familiar textures to encourage acceptance.
How do novel proteins compare to chicken or beef?
They offer comparable or higher protein density with lower environmental impact and reduced allergen exposure. They're especially valuable for rotational diets.
Can I mix novel proteins with treats?
Absolutely, as long as the treats align with the same novel protein strategy or are hypoallergenic. Avoid cross-contamination with common allergens like wheat or soy.
