Who we are

We make dog treats and food with insect protein. The idea came in 2018, at a cafe beside a dog park, when our founder Shaun Eislers and his wife were talking about their pets, a growing population and food security. Shaun joined the board of the Insect Protein Association of Australia in June 2018 and was its Treasurer until 2023.

What we sell

• Dog treats made with insect protein
• Dental bars
• Complete pet food

All our recipes are grain-free, meat-free and gluten-free.

How we make it

Our protein comes from black soldier fly larvae, farmed without pesticides or antibiotics. We developed our recipes with Western Sydney University and nutrition experts, and DTS Laboratories and Massey University in New Zealand test them for nutrition and shelf life. We're HACCP and GMP certified.

Giving back

Our products are packed in partnership with cape group, which creates supported jobs for people with disability, and we sponsor Animal Welfare League NSW.
