Many people still think that animals need meat to survive. This is not true, animals only need the proteins from the meat.

Meat replacement (insect based) food for cats

As an alternative to the high meat consumption of pets, the start-up Imby Pet Food aimed to develop and produce meat-replacement food for cats. By using proteins from insect and plant sources, the company can produce healthy pet food with a high nutritional value that has a much lower carbon footprint than cat food containing meat.

How did you get started?

Nicolas Bartholomeeusen "It wasn't an overnight process, of course, it took a lot of thought. But we quickly realised that a lot of people still think that animals need meat to survive. That's not true, animals just need the proteins in meat. Led by our bio-engineer, we started experimenting and ended up with insect and plant based dog food that is sustainable and healthy for your pet. We launched our brand: Imby Pet Food. Imby stands for: in my garden. Because we believe that we can only change our world if we all take individual steps."
