Future-proof pet food for happy, healthy pets
At Better Origin, we believe that your pet’s food should do more than just fill their bowl – it should nurture them from the inside out while caring for the planet. That’s why we’re transforming the future of pet food with the incredible power of insects – sustainable, nutritious, balanced and loved by pets everywhere.
Why insect ingredients in pet diets?
Insects are nature’s most efficient recyclers, turning low value nutrients (such as organic fruit and vegetables) into protein-packed, nutrient-dense food. By using Black Soldier Fly larvae, we create sustainable ingredients that aren’t just eco-friendly but also incredibly nutritious for your pets.
Insect-based ingredients have a small environmental footprint, using fewer resources like land, water, and energy compared to traditional proteins like chicken or beef. And they deliver superior nutritional value – making them the smart choice for pet owners who want to keep their furry companions happy and healthy while caring for the planet.
Nutritious ingredients for health & wellbeing
Insects, particularly Black Soldier Fly larvae, are nutrient powerhouses. They provide high-quality, highly digestible protein with all the essential amino acids pets need to stay strong, healthy, and active – just like traditional meats. Packed with beneficial fats like lauric acid, these insects support a healthy gut and make for happy tummies, while their naturally high levels of antioxidants help maintain a robust immune system.
Our unique processing ensures the flavours and nutrients remain intact, making our purees and meals irresistible, even for the pickiest eaters.
Planet-friendly pet food solutions
Pet food production is responsible for 64 million tons of carbon emissions per year. Many of the ingredients found in traditional pet food are derived from human-grade meats, placing unnecessary strain on the environment.
By switching to insect-based ingredients, pet food manufacturers can drastically reduce their carbon emissions while still providing high-quality nutrition that pets love.

“We’re delighted to be one of the first brands to be working with Better Origin, as a sustainable business we wanted to ensure that we could get local first-rate UK supply of BSF without compromising on the quality of our dog food- Better Origin’s product has ensured that we continue to provide first class pet food to a growing number of happy and healthy dogs. We’re excited to continue to grow our range and work together for years to come.”
“We’ve been working with Better Origin since we moved our manufacturing site from Europe to the UK and have found them delightful to work with. From the very beginning, they’ve been incredibly helpful with all aspects of production while supporting our small business. We previously sourced insect ingredients elsewhere but have found the Better Origin product to be superior to anything we’ve seen before.”
“The quality of Better Origin’s insect protein is second-to-none. It has elevated our dog treats to the next level, and we’re excited to use it to develop more products. Most importantly, it’s been a huge hit with our customers’ dogs, who absolutely love it! The Better Origin team is incredibly knowledgeable about the world of insect farming and really understands pet nutrition, too.
They’re a pleasure to work with.”
