Ethics & impact

Animal wellbeing, circular agriculture, and our virtuous cycle are non-negotiable.

We believe pet wellness should never come at the expense of other animals or the natural resources we all share. Our USA-sourced BSFL supply chain is engineered to fulfill a virtuous cycle—rescuing nutrients, elevating animal vitality, and returning value to soils, science, and community partners from larvae to arthritic horses, dairy herds, aquatic turtles, and every companion animal in between.

Our sustainability pillars

Each pillar protects a stage of the virtuous cycle so every formulation we ship reinforces the next: sourcing, nutrition, stewardship, and reinvestment.

Closed-loop farming

Larvae feed on upcycled produce from regional organic farms, eliminating landfill waste and returning compost to the soil.

Humane insect stewardship

We prioritize low-stress rearing conditions and rapid, humane harvesting methods in accordance with entomology standards.

Energy-positive facilities

Solar arrays and heat recapture systems power our operations, reclaiming 42% more energy than comparable poultry-based foods require.

Transparent USA sourcing

Every batch ships with QR-coded traceability to the American farms, botanicals, and third-party labs powering each formula.

Ruminant welfare alignment

Our goat, sheep, and cattle blends use copper-safe mineral ratios and resource-savvy lipid profiles vetted by large-animal veterinarians.

Quality assurance safeguards

Triple lab testing

We screen for pathogens, heavy metals, and nutrient variance at harvest, post-processing, and packaging.

Veterinary oversight

Integrative veterinarians audit every formula for species safety, life-stage adequacy, and therapeutic benefits.

AI-enhanced traceability

Our supply chain platform uses machine learning to flag anomalies in ingredient sourcing for rapid response.

Large-animal welfare audits

Dairy and small ruminant partners validate copper tolerances, residue-free milk, and pasture health outcomes each quarter.

Community & animal welfare commitments

Shelter nutrition grants

We donate BSFL meal to rescue partners to stabilize the health of undernourished animals entering care.

Backyard biodiversity

Wild bird and chicken lines are designed to support local ecosystems with pollinator-friendly botanicals.

Equine, ruminant & turtle stewardship

We collaborate with rehabilitation barns, dairy cooperatives, and aquatic rescue centers to donate USA-sourced joint, rumen, and shell support formulas.

Guardian education

Monthly webinars empower caregivers to recognize nutrition-linked health issues early, reducing vet stress.
