Why should you choose an ethical and eco-friendly superfood like Koodawni?

Koodawni is ethical, sustainable and the most innovative pet superfood on the market today, providing natural, balanced and delicious products for your four-legged friend of all life stages. We’re the leading expert in sourcing sustainable ingredients – our insects are one of the most digestible and nutritious forms of protein on the planet today. Insect protein is hypoallergenic and great for pets with meat-related food allergies or intolerances. Koodawni also reduces your pet’s carbon pawprint as it’s better for the environment compared to traditional meat-based pet foods because insects use significantly less water, land and CO2.

What benefits does insect protein provide over traditionally farmed meat?

BSF and crickets provide lots of unique health benefits not found in traditional meats. Our insects contains high levels of lauric acid, a special nutrient that helps to balance and rehydrate skin, greatly improving overall skin and coat condition. Antimicrobial coating on their skin helps your pets to fend off bacteria and harmful pathogens entering their body. Also acting as a prebiotic, helping promote healthy gut bacteria improving digestion. BSF protein also has high levels of antioxidants not found in other meats. This slows the decay and ageing of brain cells, joint tissue and organ function, and hugely reduces inflammation.

What are the health benefits to feeding insects?

Our nutritious insects (Hermetia Illucens) have a wide range of health benefits for dogs and cats. These include but not limited to: a high omega 6 fatty-acid content that nourishes skin, coat and reduces dry skin, reducing itchiness; high levels of antioxidants that aren’t found in conventional meats which help reduce damage and inflammation to joints organs and brain cells; anti-microbial benefits and increases beneficial gut bacteria.

Where are Koodawni’s insects sourced from?

We source our insect proteins from farms located in Ontario and Quebec. They operate to the highest animal welfare standards and the quality and consistency of their products are exceptional. They are all free-range and free of antibiotics and chemicals. 

Is Koodawni hypoallergenic?

Our superfoods do not contain any of the top 10 allergens common to dogs or cats. According to recent reports 9/10 of the top 10 allergens are protein related with wheat being the only grain now highly ranked. It is truly one of the most hypoallergenic pet products on the market today.

With that being said, if you or your pet have an allergy to shellfish you may also have an allergic reaction to our insect proteins. Please use with caution and check with your veterinarian before feeding.

How are insects harvested?

Our insects were chosen partly because they do not have nociceptors, which make higher life forms feel pain. But we still take animal welfare to heart, we insure our farms use a process that’s as ethical as possible. Cold rooms are used to lower their body temperature and send them into a hibernation state. Once asleep, they’re harvested in a fraction of a second.

What insects do you use?

We use crickets and black soldier fly larvae. They’re the world’s most ancient and nutritious sources of animal protein and use only a fraction of the world’s resources compared to traditional livestock. Our nutritious and delicious insects are fed on an organic substrate made from leftover fruit and vegetables from the human food industry that would otherwise go to landfill. They’ve been studied for years by specialist insect farmers, who have refined and perfected every stage of the farming process making it as efficient, eco-friendly and humane as possible.
