Insects in pet cat and dog feeds.

Insect Species	Pet	Finds	References
Tenebrio molitor larvae	Cat	Different species of pets have different preferences for each insect, with cats preferring T. molitor and dogs preferring H. illucens	[142]
	dog	Insect feed can entice dogs to eat, but gender affects it	[143]
Hermetia illucen larvae	Cat	H. illucens, which is suitable for cats, is basically suitable for other animals.	[144]
	beagle dog	Substituting H. illucens larval fat for chicken fat in the original feed does not affect the palatability of the feed to dogs.	[145]
	dog	The addition of relatively small amounts of Hermetia illucens larval feed significantly improved digestibility and had a beneficial effect on immune and antioxidant status.	[146]
Musca domestica larvae	Beagle dog	Administration of Musca domestica at the 5% level does not affect the dog’s growth, feed intake, hematology, biochemistry or immune properties, nor does it reduce oxidative stress.	[147]
Shelfordella lateralis (adult)	Dog	Insect feed can lure dogs to eat, but gender will make their favorite insects different.	[143]
Gryllodes siggilatus (adult)	Beagle dog	After adding 24% Gryllodes siggilatus to the beagle’s diet, the total microbial community in the beagle’s body was unaffected.	[148]
