Treats with insects for dogs
“Why not eat insects?”
Choosing the right training treat can sometimes be a big challenge for the owner. This is because the dog struggles with intolerances or food allergies, and on top of that is very picky.
In such a situation, Syta Micha comes to the rescue and offers treats with insects.
These are single-protein snacks, small in size, whose composition is based on animal proteins derived from animals other than ruminants, namely Hermetia illucens also known as the black soldier fly larva.
Edible insect proteins for dogs are a masterful alternative characterized by low allergenicity and high digestibility. The specifics of the black soldier fly larva itself are primarily:
- high content of complete protein, rich in all essential amino acids that are an excellent building block for muscle tissue,
- presence of lauric acid with antimicrobial properties,
- a source of palmitic and oleic acids that positively affect the circulatory system, including cholesterol levels,
- a source of vitamins and minerals such as manganese, iron, zinc, copper, calcium, and phosphorus.
Besides insects, the composition may include apples and strawberries which have a positive effect on digestion.
Moreover, the polyphenols contained in them alleviate oxidative stress, which contributes to reducing inflammation in the dog's body.
Additionally, the presence of organic compounds in apples and strawberries, by lowering the pH of the digestive content, creates favorable conditions for the growth of probiotic bacterial strains, thereby limiting the development of pathogenic microflora.
Enticing with their aroma and unique soft texture, these treats can be successfully given to puppies, adults, and senior dogs alike.
If you are looking for treats that do not contain grains, chicken, or other unnecessary fillers, insect treats from Syta Micha are an excellent choice.
