Why include insect protein in your cat's diet?

Insect protein in pet food is a new experience for many owners. In this article, we will talk about the health benefits of the insect protein used in YORA food for cats.

Maintaining joint health

To support cats' active lifestyles and acrobatic leaps, their joints must withstand a lot of strain. For this reason, it is important to ensure that your cat's diet includes substances that help to prevent joint health.

The outer shell, or chitin, of black soldier fly larvae is rich in a substance called glucosamine. Glucosamine is a “building block” of cartilage. It helps keep joints healthy and strong, and also helps build new connective tissue.

In addition, all YORA foods are supplemented with nutritional supplements to support cats' joints.

Beneficial effect on the digestive tract

Many cats today suffer from various digestive problems. Insect protein is easily digestible, making it perfect for animals with sensitive digestive systems. In addition, black soldier fly larvae naturally have properties that can help maintain a healthy intestinal microflora and stop the growth of harmful bacteria.

When eating YORA food, animals usually experience improved stool consistency, which is also an essential sign of a healthy digestive system.

Reduced risk of allergies

Insect protein is one of the safest choices for allergic cats because it is easily digestible and a novel source of protein (meaning that animals do not usually develop allergic reactions to it).

It should be noted that YORA ensures that all food contains only insect protein, which is important if you need to avoid specific types of protein. For example, during periods when a reaction to various allergens is being tested under the supervision of a veterinarian using the exclusion method, or if you already clearly know that your cat is allergic to a specific type or types of protein.

Caring for brain health, skin and coat

In cats, just like in humans, brain function can deteriorate as we age. In order for our pets to enjoy a quality life in old age, it is important to take care of their brain health. Black soldier fly larvae contain lauric acid. This is a substance that actively participates in improving cognitive abilities in older animals. In addition, lauric acid has a beneficial effect on the health of the skin and coat.

YORA - complete food for your cat with insect protein

YORA insect protein food is not only healthy for cats, but also sustainable and environmentally friendly. For example, compared to chicken, which is often used in cat food, insect protein has a 24 times smaller carbon footprint.

In addition to healthy insect protein, YORA food uses other ingredients that contribute to cats' health. For example:

• Beets and oats, which help maintain intestinal health and reduce the formation of hairballs.
• Seaweed, which is rich in various vitamins and minerals for digestive, bone, and thyroid health.
• Chicory pulp, which is a powerful prebiotic for “feeding” beneficial bacteria in the gut.
