BECAUSE GUT HEALTH IMPACTS MORE THAN JUST DIGESTION
Chronic digestive upset is one of the most common signs of a food allergy or sensitivity in dogs. But poor gut health means more than just gross poops and room-clearing gas.
The gut is where nutrients are absorbed, the immune system is regulated, inflammation begins (or calms), skin health is influenced, and energy is supported. So when your dog’s gut health is out of balance, symptoms show up everywhere — loose stool, itchy skin, ear infections, low energy, and more. This food is designed to help rebalance your dog’s gut, one bite at a time.
PACKED WITH NUTRIENTS & ANTIOXIDANTS
Insect protein is naturally rich in essential amino acids, B-vitamins, healthy fats, and antioxidants that support your dog’s overall health and vitality.
EASY TO DIGEST
Studies show insect protein is highly digestible for dogs, helping them absorb more of the nutrients their bodies need.
SUPPORTS A HEALTHY SKIN & COAT
Natural fatty acids and key nutrients help support skin hydration and promote a soft, healthy coat.
IMPROVES ORAL HEALTH
Research shows insect protein can help regulate the oral microbiome, supporting healthier teeth, gums, and fresher breath.
MORE SUSTAINABLE
Insect protein uses far less land, water, and greenhouse gases than traditional meat, making it better for your dog and the planet.

WHAT PEOPLE(+PUPS) ARE SAYING
Customer Reviews
Did not agree with my dog’s tummy. I will need to return it. Great concept though.
They arrived safely, no torn bags. My dogs eat this combination very well. I have 3 dogs and they all like different flavored kibble, but they all agree with this one, which makes it much easier on me.
Jiminy’s is the only dog food my rescue Bernedoodle can eat. My other bernedoodle doesn’t have GI issues. We tried everything; prescription diets, limited ingredient foods, expensive boutique brands, you name it. Nothing worked. He struggled constantly with gut issues and sensitivities, and I was honestly losing hope.
Within days of starting Jiminy’s, his gut healed. The change was fast and undeniable: normal digestion, more energy, and finally a comfortable, happy dog. For the first time since rescuing him, he’s truly thriving.
What impressed me just as much as the food itself was the company. I unexpectedly ran out of food and reached out in a panic. Jiminy’s overnighted a bag to me at no additional shipping cost, so my dog wouldn’t have to switch foods or risk getting sick again. That level of care is rare.
Jiminy’s didn’t just help my dog, it gave him his quality of life back. I will never feed him anything else.

Hi Alecia! Thank you so much for sharing Hutch and Edna’s story! ❤️ We’re thrilled to hear that Hutch’s gut issues have improved and that he’s finally thriving. There’s nothing better than seeing a happy, healthy pup. We’re also so glad we could help in a pinch and get him his food without any stress. It’s exactly the kind of care we hope to provide to every customer (and their dogs!). Hutch and Edna are lucky to have each other…and you’re lucky to have such resilient little pups. Thank you for trusting Jiminy’s!
I have two Shibas, Walter (burnt boi) and Glengarry Glenn Ross (toasty boi). They have two different needs. Walter is my snacky boi, snacky to the point where I needed to put him on a diet. After switching to Jiminy’s about a month ago I’m happy to share that he’s starting to lose some weight!
Glengarry is my foster baby. He came to me with terrible allergies, missing fur and broken heart. He was on three different medications that were about $100 each which is why he stayed in a foster status. For five months it seemed like his allergies were not improving with his medication. And I tried everything but nothing was working. But I wasn’t willing to give up on him. He’s already been through so much. My cousin who also has an itchy boy told me to try Jiminy’s. And after about a month munching crickets his skin is starting to clear up and his fur is starting to grow back. Glengarry is improving so much that I’m happy to share that I’m formally adopting him for Christmas!
Hi Meg! Thank you so much for taking the time to share Walter’s and Glengarry's story! It truly means the world to us. We’re very happy to hear that Walter is doing well on Jiminy’s and starting to reach a healthier weight, and even more moved by Glengarry’s journey. Knowing that his skin is clearing up and his fur is growing back, most importantly that he’s feeling better after everything he’s been through is incredibly special to hear.
And congratulations on officially adopting Glengarry for Christmas! That is the best kind of happy ending, and we’re honored to be a small part of his healing journey. We hope he'll fully recover with our food. Thank you again for trusting us with your pups and for being such an amazing dog parent!
