In this episode, we continue the conversation about insects...and specifically, the black soldier fly. We shine the spotlight on petgood,a Swedish company that makes insect-based pet food, and launched here in Australia, last year.

Amanda interviews Dr. Nicki Sluczanowski, an Australian vet who's the head vet at petgood, to learn about her journey into insect-based pet nutrition and the company's mission and products.

They dive into the nutritional and sustainability advantages of using Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) in pet diets, debunk myths around raw and meat-based diets, and discuss ongoing research on the beneficial properties of BSFL. 

Dr Anna also answers a question about chocolate for dogs - it is Easter, after all! She also unveils one of the simplest food hacks you'll find - honey - and shares why it's good nutritionally.
