Our BSF best sustainable friend!
PLANETFRIENDLY
We combine our eco-friendly insect protein with sustainable plant-based ingredients, packed in 100% recyclable packaging, for a happier planet.

We share our planet with 500 million companion cats and dogs, who consume an Earth-shattering 20% of the world’s meat and fish! Traditional pet food has taken its toll on our planet. Livestock farming produces 18% of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions worldwide, soaks up billions of litres of water and takes over nearly 30% of the Earth’s surface.
Cattle also produce an immense amount of methane, another greenhouse gas, with the average cow expelling around 200 litres of methane per day. In contrast, producing 1kg of insect protein from a popular edible insect requires 92% less space, 99% less water, and creates 99% less carbon than making the same amount of beef protein.

Percuro contains oats that are a valuable and sustainable source of protein
Percuro’s insect pet food also contains oats that are a valuable and sustainable source of protein. Oats are scrummy, sustainable and gentle on your pet’s tummy. They are high in essential B vitamins and minerals including manganese and phosphorus. Pound for pound, oat protein and carbohydrate uses far less water to produce than meat protein. We use naked oats in our formula, which is even gentler to digest.
Check out these staggering stats:
Comparison of water consumption per gram of protein produced
Protein Type | Water consumption per gram of protein |
---|---|
1 pound of beef = 90-100 grams protein | Costs 20-80 gallons* |
1 pound of oats = 75 grams of protein | Costs 3.8 gallons* |

Our recyclable packaging
We package all this sustainable goodness in 100% recycle packaging. We use mono-material PE plastic, which is widely recycled, unlike multi-layer or foil-lined alternatives of most dog food bags which cannot be separated and recycled.
Our unique 2KG pack comes in a post-friendly sturdy box. This avoids the need for further outer packaging to send it to your doorstep. These outer boxes are made from fully FSC-certified and completely recyclable cardboard, which are sourced from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits to their local communities.

This 10 Kg dog food bag seems to be expensive. But I tend to believe that the fact that it has no artificial substances and the fact that it is hypoallergic can justify the price. The food for puppies weighs 10 kg and contains a large amount of hypoallergenic protein, clean of insects and free oats. It has no dyes or preservatives.

A healthy alternative protein coming from insect protein rather than animal. It is a good price, good for the planet and overall a decent dog food with a good composition. Happy we gave this a go!

What a difference this has made! My little Griffon started to scratch and over time it got worse. We tried various things, but with no luck. Then I found Percuro. Lulu has been on this now for 3 months and the difference in her has been unbelievable.

We started feeding the boys @percuro.earth a few months ago.Since then Herbie has not skipped one meal and actually looks excited when he sees his bowl. The enthusiasm Dave shows when he hears me opening the food is off the charts.All in all, its a thumbs up from us.

One of my collies has a pretty sensitive digestive system so we have to be careful what we feed him, but this food didn't upset him in any way which is great. The food seems to be made from top quality ingredients and comes in a bag which is resealable to keep the food fresh.
