FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Jiminy’s insect-based dog foods different?
Jiminy’s uses sustainable insect protein (crickets or grubs) instead of traditional animal proteins like chicken or beef. This novel protein is nutrient-dense, highly digestible, and generally gentler on sensitive dogs’ stomachs. It also has a lower environmental impact compared with conventional proteins.
What formulas does Jiminy’s offer?
Jiminy’s currently offers two primary dry food formulas:
Good Grub – designed for dogs with food sensitivities, allergies, or skin issues.
Cravin’ Cricket – tailored for dogs with digestive issues, gas, or soft stools.
Which Jiminy’s formula is best for dogs with allergies or sensitive skin?
Jiminy’s Good Grub is ideal for dogs with allergies, skin irritations, or coat issues. Its novel grub protein is hypoallergenic and gentle, helping reduce immune reactions and supporting skin and coat health through medium-chain fatty acids and antioxidants.
Which formula should I choose for digestive support?
Cravin’ Cricket is formulated to support gut health. The cricket protein acts as a natural prebiotic, feeding beneficial bacteria and promoting firmer stools and less gas, which can be especially helpful for dogs with sensitive digestion.
Can I feed both formulas to my dog?
Yes — many pet owners use a rotation diet with Good Grub and Cravin’ Cricket to provide diverse nutrients and reduce the chance of developing sensitivities to a single protein. Rotating proteins can also keep mealtime interesting for dogs.
How do I decide which formula is right for my dog?
Choose based on your dog’s primary health needs:
Allergies, itchy skin, or coat problems: Pick Good Grub.
Digestive discomfort, gas, or soft stools: Choose Cravin’ Cricket.
General health with no specific issues: Either formula works, or consider rotating.
Are these insect-based foods suitable for dogs with food intolerances?
Yes — because Jiminy’s uses novel insect proteins not commonly found in traditional diets, they’re often less likely to trigger intolerances or immune reactions. This makes them a good option for dogs that haven’t responded well to chicken or beef diets.
Do Jiminy’s foods meet complete nutrition standards?
Yes — both Good Grub and Cravin’ Cricket are formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition, including essential amino acids, omegas, vitamins, and minerals dogs need for overall health.
How do these foods impact gut and immune health?
The insect proteins in Jiminy’s formulas contain prebiotic fiber (like chitin) that helps feed healthy gut bacteria, which in turn supports digestion and immune function. This can result in fewer gas issues and better stool quality.
Can insect protein improve my dog’s overall health?
Many dogs show improved digestive comfort, skin condition, and energy levels with insect-based diets. The prebiotic and nutrient-rich profile of insect proteins supports balanced microbiota and overall wellness when included as part of a high-quality diet.
Should I talk to my vet before switching formulas?
Absolutely — especially if your dog has chronic health issues or special dietary requirements. Your veterinarian can help you choose the best formula based on your dog’s age, activity level, and medical history.
How do I introduce a new Jiminy’s formula?
When switching foods or rotating formulas, transition gradually over 7–10 days by mixing increasing amounts of Jiminy’s with your dog’s current food to minimize digestive upset.
