I highly recommend this dry food for dogs because the ingredients are excellent and natural. The first time I offered it to my dog she ate it immediately without any problem. It's great for her digestion and full of herbs and goodness. Fantastic,

“Our vet fussy miniature poodle loves it”

Our vet fussy miniature poodle loves it, and it's also safe for his ibd. It has a softer texture than most kibble and a strong smell, both of which are an advantage. The price is very reasonable too, so we're very satisfied.

“Amazing food.”

We have been on the food about 2 weeks now and very obvious results showing already.. First, Bob absolutely loves the food and picks it out to eat before anything else that might be in his bowl. Prior to this he sometimes refused or ate some meals without much enjoyment. SomeGrub has changed all that, meals get totally consumed with gusto within minutes of being put down to him. His overall condition is brilliant. His coat (black) has always been reasonably shiny but a little course! Now its like polished glass and getting softer and silkier by the day. His bowels are really good and his odd bouts of 'iffy' breath are no more.. He's a happier little guy now and certainly has his mojo back. This food is an absolute game changer for us, and I'm over the moon to have found it.

“More than impressed.”

Upon using the 200grm trial pack my very picky & sensitive rescue boy started picking out the new food to eat first! He loved it. My little rescue girl was not so keen, although usually will literally eat anything in her bowl! Kept trying using the pieces as reward titbits, this way seemed more acceptable to her! Since using the trial pack, I took delivery of a larger amount. My boy is over to the 'Some Grub' completely now and absolutely thriving. My girl is accepting it now (took 2 weeks) and is on transfer over to it.....cant be happier and more impressed with this new food right now..

“Eco-friendly insect protein treats: nutritious and soft training bites”

The insect-based dog treats offer a generous amount per bag and are a great size for both training and rewarding. The texture is particularly good; they are not hard but instead are slightly moist and soft, making them easy for dogs to chew and enjoy. They have a subtle yet distinct and pleasant aroma that is reminiscent of 'chocolate orange,' to me, which makes them much nicer to handle than many traditional meat-based treats. In terms of palatability, while both of my dogs will eat them, they don’t seem quite as excited as they do with some other treats and on occasion are reluctant to take them. This could be due to the subtle orange scent, which can be hit-or-miss with some dogs. Because the ingredients are wholesome and nutritious, I sometimes cut these treats into smaller pieces or crumb them to use as a filler in their regular food. Insect protein is a fantastic, highly digestible superfood that is naturally hypoallergenic and great for dogs with sensitive stomachs or skin issues. It is also much better for the environment than traditional meat, using significantly less land and water. These treats are reasonably priced, and if your dog decides they are a new favourite, you can save money by purchasing the larger six-pack option!

“Tasty, dog-safe chocolate-orange smelling treats which he kept coming back for”

My dog loves these treats, and for once, they actually smell really nice for humans too (like a chocolatey orange). There is of course no actual chocolate in the treats .The chocolate scent comes from (dog-safe) carob. I also love that these treats are made from insect protein. Don't worry if you're squeamish, each pellet looks no different to other round soft treats - almost like a cereal bar pellets but softer. I don't know if they calmed my dog at all (I have a pretty energetic puppy), but I didn't really expect there's much that can be done to calm them at this stage. I really think this is an excellent treat. My dog loves it, it's soft and easy to chew, pellets are small enough to be able to give lots of rewards, and tasty enough to have him coming back for more.

“Perfect treats in every way!”

These small treats are a perfect size, smell lovely and are full of natural ingredients. I give my dog a few at night and it settles her and during the day if she needs them. She loves them. The fact they are planet friendly and hand made in the UK is an added bonus! I would definitely recommend these for any size dog.

“Quality, value size .”

Because my dogs are both allergic to chicken and other meat I reluctantly ordered these . I was a bit put off by grub insect, but you'd never know that it contains them , you can't see any little insect bits lol, well it does say powered. I sort of by passed that detail at first. And the most important thing is the dogs love them. Great size too. Defo recommend 👌

“Easy to feed, no strong smells”

I ordered these treats for my two, adult dogs to try, since trying them theg have had no upset stomachs or other unwanted effects. The treats arrived in three packs, each pack is resealable, and clearly labelled with the relevant nutritional information, the packs I received had a best before date that was just under 11 months away. The treats themselves are quite a clean, easy to feed treat, so woukd make good training treats, they have very little smell, and my dogs both seemed to think they taste pleasant, so I am happy to recommend them.

“Not sure if they relaxed him, but not more hyper than usual”

This is a 3 pouches of dog treats made with insect protein, carob & orange. The pouches are resealable and small enough to fit in a pocket. The treats are small, about the size of a 5p coin, and about 5mm thick. The texture is more soft and chewy rather than a hard biscuit. They do have a slight meaty smell to them. So far we have been using these as a training aid for house training our 12 week old sprocker. He likes them and they are good for getting his attention when held in a closed hand. He does seem to get quite full from these (I'm guessing from the insect protein) and we noticed didn't go chasing his food bowl as much or begging. We also noticed he wasn't getting hyper after eating a few. It's definitely easier than traditional biscuits as those make him quite energetic after a few. In terms of digestion, I noticed no issues. Just darker poop. Good quality and ok value. Recommended. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful We have

More questions
Does Some Grub contain chicken?

No. The current recipe contains no chicken, beef, lamb, pork or fish. Its declared animal protein comes from insect ingredients, which makes the ingredient check simpler when you are avoiding those common meats.

How long does a bag of Some Grub last?

It depends on your dog's size. On our feeding guide a 1.5 kg bag lasts around two weeks for a 5 kg dog, about ten days for a 10 kg dog, and under a week for a 20 kg dog — so most larger dogs are better off on the 6 kg bag. Use the feeding calculator on the product page to work out your own dog's portion, how long a bag will last them and what that costs per day.

Is Some Grub suitable for puppies?

This recipe is formulated for adult dogs. We'd recommend waiting until your dog is fully grown before switching them onto it.

How should I transition my dog to Some Grub?

Switch gradually over 5–7 days, mixing with your dog's existing food. Start with around 20% Some Grub and increase a little each day. This helps avoid digestive upset during the transition.

Is insect protein safe for dogs?

Black soldier fly meal has been studied in healthy adult dogs. The largest direct study on our evidence page involved 56 dogs fed for 28 days and supports safety, acceptance and digestibility under those study conditions. It does not prove that every dog with a food allergy will tolerate insect protein.

What is cold-pressed dog food?

Cold-pressing shapes the ingredients at lower temperatures than standard extrusion. It describes the manufacturing method, not a guarantee that the food will be more digestible or suitable for an individual dog.

Does Some Grub offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If your dog doesn't take to it, contact us for a full refund — no questions asked.
