Cats aren’t missing out on their biological need for meat by eating insects with Lovebug. Instead they’re getting a complete, nutrient rich food that tastes great, and is good for them and for the planet.
Cats may eat insects naturally in their diet. And the UN state that the nutritional value of insects does not differ from the nutritional value of other meat sources such as chicken, beef, pork and fish. Smart kitties are hunting insects for themselves already!
There are no surprises when you open a bag of Lovebug™ cat food. It looks like kibble, tastes like kibble – it's regular, delicious kibble! In fact, cat customers so far haven’t been able to keep their paws off it. No wonder, really, seeing as cats gobble up insects as a natural part of their diet.

Lovebug™ cat food sources its insects from a European supplier, who take great care and responsibility when it comes to animal welfare. This starts from the breeding stage all the way through to the final stage of processing. They are committed to the following principles of animal welfare: freedom from hunger, thirst, discomfort, pain, injury or disease, express normal behaviour, fear and distress.
Lovebug™ cat food is made using black soldier fly larvae. These insects can be reared on a wide range of food industry by-products (that would otherwise go to waste), making them a circular and sustainable source of protein. Black soldier fly proteins have just the right proportion of amino acids, fatty acids and minerals, which are essential for pet nutrition.

Memphis is our 6 year old rescue cat. He has a feisty side and isn’t exactly a lap cat but always wants to be close - as long as it’s completely on his terms.
The only time he is particularly affectionate is when he is hungry and being a large, long-haired tabby cat, he’s quite hard to ignore when peckish!
Memphis is happy and healthy and I'm making a much better environmental choice - there's no downside in my opinion.
