NUTRITION
Insects are a superfood for dogs
They're a complete protein source with all the essential amino sources dogs need, but that's not all. Insects are also rich in vitamins, minerals, fats, medium chain fatty acids, antimicrobial peptides, fiber, and all kinds of benefits.

Prebiotic and gentle on the stomach
When your dog's gut bacteria is out of balance, it impacts their health and wellbeing. Insect protein is prebiotic, meaning it feeds the good bacteria in your dog's gut. In fact, many dogs with food allergies or gut issues thrive on Jiminy's!
Supports brain health
Insect protein is rich in medium chain fatty acids (specifically Lauric Acid), which help improve cognitive function in aging dogs by providing the brain with energy in the form of ketones.
Helps boost immunity
Insects are among the richest sources of antimicrobial peptides, which play a key role in immunity. Paired with prebiotics, they're setting your dog up for success.
Improves oral health, too
In a peer-reviewed study, we found that grubs improve dogs' breath, increase good bacteria in their saliva, and suppress the growth of a harmful bacteria associated with periodontal disease.
