Canned Insect Assortment

Canned Insects by Exotic Nutrition

Exotic Nutrition’s canned insects are a simple, convenient way to add high-quality protein to your pet’s diet. The insects are “cooked in the can” to preserve their nutrition, flavor, and aroma. This gentle cooking process also softens the exoskeleton, making the insects easier to digest for your pet.

For a more varied and balanced diet, try offering multiple types of canned insects.

Perfect For Many Pets

(Assortment may vary based on availability.)

Why Canned Insects Are a Great Choice

Benefits of Healthy Treats

Treats like canned insects offer several benefits for both pets and owners:

• Add variety to a diet that might otherwise be monotonous

• Provide behavioral enrichment, especially for pets in smaller environments

• Help build a connection between pet and owner

• Can support training (like teaching pets to come when called)

• Offer good exercise for teeth and jaws

How the Cooking Process Helps

The cooking process:

• Softens the insect’s exoskeleton

• Breaks bonds in the collagen protein, making it more absorbable for your pet

Collagen is an important fiber that supports:

• Bone

• Cartilage

• Skin

• Nail structures

Feeding Recommendation

This product is a treat, not a complete meal:

• Feed sparingly, as it’s not a substitute for a balanced regular diet

• Offer 2–3 times per week

• Or keep treats to less than 10% of the main diet

• Overfeeding treats can lead to health issues like obesity

• If your pet isn’t eating its regular balanced diet, skip the treats until stable eating habits return
