Table of Contents

Problem: Intolerances and Allergies

More and more dogs suffer from food intolerances and meat allergies. Articles in reputable newspapers and reports from veterinary clinics show that the likelihood of allergies to beef, chicken, or pork is steadily increasing. BugBell offers a sustainable solution by developing dog food with hypoallergenic insect protein that is free from common allergens.

Problem: Environmental Impact of Pet Ownership

With almost 27 million dogs and cats in Germany, pet ownership significantly contributes to meat consumption and the use of valuable resources. BugBell focuses on sustainable dog food and reduces the ecological footprint by using insects as an environmentally friendly alternative to meat. The breeding of insects causes only a fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions compared to cattle farming.

Expert Opinion on Insect Protein

According to the British Veterinary Association (BVA), insects are a high-quality protein source that is easily digestible and resource-efficient. They are excellently suited for elimination diets, as they are free from common allergens. Hypoallergenic dog food with insect protein is therefore ideal for dogs with food allergies.

Thinking Today for Tomorrow: Sustainability

The BVA calls for a switch to sustainable dog food to reduce rising meat consumption and its environmental impact. Dog food with insect protein offers an environmentally friendly alternative that meets the demands of a resource-efficient future.
