• Insect Protein •

The insect protein, which is underexplored in pet food, proves to be beneficial for dogs susceptible to food allergies. The novelty of this protein source can prevent allergic reactions, given that canine food allergy is an adverse immune response to allergens, typically proteins of animal origin. As most dogs have not been exposed to this protein yet, their adverse reactions are less likely, making it a hypoallergenic option.

Insects represent a sustainable source of protein, as their production requires less environmental impact. Compared to conventional protein sources, the cultivation and production of insects consume fewer water resources and generate fewer harmful greenhouse gas emissions for our planet. Additionally, the insect protein used by petMaxi is of Portuguese origin, which means that the environmental footprint caused by transportation is considerably reduced compared to products imported from other countries.
