Our Sustainable Production Process
As a driver of sustainability in the dog food industry, we manufacture and ship all of our cold-pressed food here in the UK. We are proud to be certified by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and believe that transparency is key to the manufacturing process. That is why we manufacture our cold-pressed dog food using a simple four-step process.
Why Choose Bug Bakes?
We believe that our food is a revolutionary next step in the industry. As the top-rated brand of insect-based dog food, according to allaboutdogfood.co.uk, here are a few reasons why UK dog owners choose us:
Sustainable
Insect-based protein provides the highest nutritional value whilst having the lowest impact on the environment compared to other dog foods. Producing 1kg of protein from insects releases 100 times less greenhouse gas than from beef.
Natively Grown Ingredients
As sustainability is central to our processes, many of our ingredients are grown here in the UK to reduce the impact of air travel on the planet.
Vet Approved
Our recipes are approved by vets and safe for all breeds aged 2 months and over to consume.
Recyclable Packaging
Our packaging is 100% recyclable, helping to eliminate plastic waste and its environmental damage.
High-Protein Insects
Insects contain more protein than chicken or beef. The BVA has stated insects are better than prime cuts of steak for our dogs.
Hypoallergenic Blend
Our dogs have not been exposed to insect protein before, so their immune and digestive systems are far less likely to react to it poorly. Therefore, insect-based food caters to allergies and intolerances.

Supporting Your Dog Throughout Their Life
The ingredients of our dog food provide essential vitamins, minerals and fibre to support any dog over 2 months old. What’s more, our food supplies the necessary nutrients at every stage of your dog’s life. It is ideal for:
Puppies
Puppies need large amounts of protein and carbohydrates to support their growth. You can give your puppy more of our food to supply all the protein and calories they need as it is lean with a low 11% fat content.
Working Dogs and Large Breeds
If you have a working dog that is constantly active, our food provides additional protein to strengthen and repair their muscles. Plus, you can benefit from VAT-free food in larger 15kg bags.
Seniors
Just like us, as our dogs age, they struggle to retain muscle. Therefore, they need a high-protein, low-calorie diet to maintain their strength without putting on weight. Our food is 28% protein and helps them live happily in their golden years.

Unfortunately, some foods on the market use ingredients that can negatively affect your pup. When you choose your next dog food, avoid these items to maintain your dog’s health:
Allergens
Common dog food ingredients like beef, chicken, pork, dairy and grains can trigger allergic reactions. You should take your dog to the vet if you notice digestive issues, itching, obsessive licking, paw biting or other sensitive skin issues. They will test your dog and may recommend hypoallergenic dog food.
Additives
We only add additional vitamins and minerals to our recipe to make sure your pup is guaranteed all the nutrition they need in every bowl. However, when looking at other dog foods, you should look out for and avoid Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), as the World Health Organisation has highlighted them as suspicious cancer-causing compounds.
‘Meat’ or ‘By-Products’
You should not feed your dog any food containing unspecified ‘meat’, ‘meat meal’ or ‘by-products’. Even, ‘freshly prepared meat’ can be unspecified. It could be anything and is unlikely to have the nutritional value that your pup needs.
Onions, Garlic, Avocados and Grapes
Onions, garlic, avocados and grapes all contain persin: a toxin that can significantly harm dogs if ingested. They are unsuitable for a dog’s diet.
Rendered Ingredients
Rendering is the process of turning waste animal products into usable material. It is associated with poor regulations, practices and ingredients and is always best avoided to protect your pup.
