MEET THEHERMETIA ILLUCENS
Our BSF best sustainable friend!
PLANETFRIENDLY
We combine our eco-friendly insect protein with sustainable plant-based ingredients, packed in 100% recyclable packaging, for a happier planet.
We share our planet with 500 million companion cats and dogs, who consume an Earth-shattering 20% of the world’s meat and fish! Traditional pet food has taken its toll on our planet. Livestock farming produces 18% of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions worldwide, soaks up billions of litres of water and takes over nearly 30% of the Earth’s surface.
Cattle also produce an immense amount of methane, another greenhouse gas, with the average cow expelling around 200 litre of methane per day. In contrast, producing 1kg of insect protein from a popular edible insect requires 92% less space, 99% less water, and creates 99% less carbon than making the same amount of beef protein.
Percuro contains oats that are a valuable and sustainable source of protein
Percuro’s insect pet food also contains oats that are a valuable and sustainable source of protein. Oats are scrummy, sustainable and gentle on your pet’s tummy. They are high in essential B vitamins and minerals including manganese and phosphorus. Pound for pound, oat protein and carbohydrate uses far less water to produce than meat protein. We use naked oats in our formula, which is even gentler to digest.
Check out these staggering stats:
Comparison of water consumption per gram of protein produced
| Protein Type | Water consumption per gram of protein |
|---|---|
| 1 pound of beef = 90-100 grams protein | Costs 20-80 gallons* |
| 1 pound of oats = 75 grams of protein | Costs 3.8 gallons* |
Our recyclable packaging
We package all this sustainable goodness in 100% recycle packaging. We use mono-material PE plastic, which is widely recycled, unlike multi-layer or foil-lined alternatives of most dog food bags which cannot be separated and recycled.
Our unique 2KG pack comes in a post-friendly sturdy box. This avoids the need for further outer packaging to send it to your doorstep. These outer boxes are made from fully FSC-certified and completely recyclable cardboard, which are sourced from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits to their local communities.
OurCustomers Love US- You Will Too.
My dog loves the food. Quick delivery
Fantastic, fast service and the best dog treats! Our dogs absolutely love them and I could swear they are better behaved since they started getting rewarded with these! Would highly recommend!
Helps with my older dogs skin allergies very well.
Amazing food for my dogs with allergies. They love the taste
Great food and great service! Well done Percuro!
We consider ourselves lucky to have come across Percuro dog food. Our little lady pug has severe skin allergies and stomach issues. Now that she is on Percuro, her allergies have started to calm down and her stomach does not produce any gurgling sounds anymore. She has a bowel movement 2 times a day as opposed to an irregular schedule before. Very happy so far with our experience with Percuro, including their delivery service.
