What Really Counts as High-Protein Dog Food
Are you tired of protein percentages that don't pack a punch? Our high-protein dog food boasts a powerful 28% protein content, exceeding the typical 25% found in most kibble. This surge in usable protein comes from 100% insect sources, a natural and highly digestible alternative to meat meals.
While competitors might boast high protein percentages, hidden ingredients like beaks and cartilage can leave your dog struggling to absorb all that goodness. Bug Bakes cuts through the confusion with pure, bioavailable protein that's easier to digest than even steak! Fuel your dog's potential with our blend - with more protein, better absorption, and guaranteed energy for your pooch.
The Power of High-Protein Diets
Does your dog:
- Drag behind on walks?
- Struggle to rise after playtime?
- Have a dull coat or itchy skin?
These could all be signs your pup isn't getting the protein they need to thrive. As natural carnivores, dogs rely on protein for everything from building strong muscles to maintaining a healthy immune system.
Here's how a high-protein diet can transform your dog's life:
- Supercharge their energy: Protein provides sustained energy to keep your furry friend active throughout the day. No more lagging walks or early bedtimes!
- Build and maintain muscle: Just like human athletes, dogs need protein to build and repair muscles. This is especially crucial for growing puppies, active dogs, and seniors who can lose muscle mass with age.
- Promote a radiant coat and healthy skin: High-quality protein nourishes your dog from the inside out, resulting in a shiny coat, less itching, and overall better skin health.
Invest in your dog's well-being with a high-protein diet. They'll reward you with endless energy, playful enthusiasm, and a healthy, vibrant glow.

FAQ
Do dogs need high-protein food?
Dogs do need protein in their diet, but not necessarily high-protein food. The amount of protein a dog needs depends on several factors, including:
- Age: Puppies and pregnant/nursing mothers require more protein for growth and development. Adult dogs generally need less
- Activity Level: Highly active dogs like working breeds or athletes may benefit from more protein to support muscle repair and energy needs
- Overall Health: Dogs with certain health conditions might need adjustments to their protein intake
Healthy adult dogs typically need around 18% protein in their diet (based on dry matter content). Look for a food formulated for your dog's life stage and activity level.
While excess protein isn't necessarily harmful to healthy dogs, it can put a strain on their kidneys and isn't necessary. Consulting your veterinarian is always recommended to determine the best diet for your dog's individual needs.
What types of dogs require high-protein food?
High-protein food is ideal for older dogs as they struggle to hold muscle mass. By increasing their protein intake and not their calorie intake, you can help your senior friend conserve muscle without putting on excess fat.
The same principle applies to pregnant and nursing dogs; the extra protein supports them when nourishing their young. Furthermore, active pups can also benefit from a high-protein diet as it sustains the muscles they rely on daily. If you have a working dog, a high protein and calorie intake will keep them going strong.
Will a high protein diet increase my dog’s risk of kidney disease?
Experts say that a high-protein diet will not cause kidney disease. However, if your dog suffers from kidney disease or any other underlying condition, you should consult a vet before changing food.
