Nestle will be using insect protein in some Purina pet food.

[ Edited ]

An appetizing idea? 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"The Purina Beyond Nature’s Protein line, which launches in Switzerland this month, will be available in two variations - one using chicken, fava beans and protein from black soldier fly larvae, and one using chicken, pig’s liver and millet.

Both will be available for dogs and cats at Swiss retailer Coop, which also sells insect-based snacks and burgers for human consumption. Rollouts in more markets are planned starting next year, Meunier said."

This is only one of the reasons that I do not give my fur baby dog food .... I cook her human food & I know exactly what is in it .... if I can’t eat it I would never give it to her 🐶

Forget about the insects, beans and millet are not healthy foods to feed cats or dogs.

As if this is news that dog food isn't the wonderful, healthy nourishment the commercials on tv want you to believe.  It is riddled with unwanted, rancid kr@p.  Feed as close to fresh as you can for the sake of your pet.  

 

Raw is best!
