Animal Nutrition Expert Nick Cave, Massey University Massey University “It is my very strong belief that not only can we, but we should, and probably will need to in the very near future, start feeding an awful lot of alternative protein sources to our beloved pets.” – McCusker and Colleagues University of California, Davis “Preliminary results suggest that insects and some marine algal species may be practical alternatives to more traditional protein and supplemental taurine sources in pet foods.” Whether it’s concerns about factory farming, animal welfare, or the planet, its becoming clear that the way we feed our families needs to evolve. That’s why we set out to create HOPE; a food we could feel good about providing to our furry friends. Insects are sustainably grown, and thrive in farming conditions.
