Yora Pet Foods is entering the sustainable cat food market with a formula made with insect protein. Yora Complete for Adult Cats is made with insect flour from the black soldier fly larvae supplied by Protix. Thanks to the use of this alternative protein, the product requires much fewer resources like water, land and energy as compared to traditional meat farming.
As pet parents are making shifts in their own diets to embrace more plant-based eating, they are also open to the same choices for their pets, as seen in the emerging number of plant-powered meals and treats for pets.
According to the company, its complete and balanced cat food product boasts "the highest insect content of any cat food on the market" today at 62.5%.
