Jiminy's Good Grub dog food wins award

Good Grub is revolutionizing nutrition for dogs with food sensitivities. Made with a novel protein rich in B-vitamins and essential nutrients, this food promotes optimal health while being gentle on sensitive stomachs. Its unique protein source delivers superior digestibility and powerful immune support, making it ideal for dogs with food allergies. And as a sustainable choice, it's good for your dog and the planet

GREAT FOR DOGS WITH ALLERGIES

Jiminy’s Good Grub Dog food is made with a novel protein higher in B-vitamins, amino acids, medium-chain fatty acids, minerals, antimicrobial peptides, lauric acid, and antioxidants than traditional forms of protein — boosting brain health, joint health, and immunity. Great for dogs with allergies (our alternative insect protein hasn’t been overused, and our food is free from common allergens).

MAINTAINS A HEALTHY SKIN & COAT

Insect protein supports a healthy skin & coat. The medium-chain fatty acids help your dog’s skin retain moisture, which means softer, shinier fur and less hot spots, itchy ears, goopy eyes, and constant licking or scratching.

IMPROVES ORAL HEALTH

Improves oral health — scientifically proven to reduce the bad bacteria in your dog’s mouth, increase the good bacteria and reduce breath odor. Scientifically proven to reduce the bad bacteria in your dog’s mouth, increase the good bacteria and reduce breath odor.

MADE WITH DIGESTIBLE PROTEIN

Insects are a natural source of protein for dogs and a key component of wild dogs’ diets, so dogs are biologically wired to be able to digest them easily! And because they’re a prebiotic, they actually feed your dog’s healthy gut bacteria including probiotics.
