I’d like to see a company try to sell insects as dog food. No one would buy it.
Don’t count on that opinion it’s not based in fact. Hills science diet that every veterinarian sells make insect based dog food it’s high end Gucci expensive veterinary prescribed food. It’s especially for sensitive stomachs at that.

Having watched my beagles chase ,hunt and chow down on every bug the buzzes inside the fenced yard portion of the property. they wouldn’t even blink at chowing down on this food except it’s like $4+ lb. They also eat any lizard, bird, rabbit, and squirrel they can corner and attack as a pack. Don’t let their cute exterior fool you a pack of beagles are miniature wolves. The sport is Beagling and they excel at it find a rabbit burrow flush the rabbit out and drive it towards the hunters who shoot it with the beagles in chase. First rule of Beagling is don’t shoot the beagles, the second rule of Beagling is don’t shoot the beagles. There are no other rules.
Dogs, cats ,pigs, chickens don’t care about insect protein they all eat it naturally of their own free will. Its human emotion and transference that is at play when someone says oh I won’t feed my pet that. I have watched dogs eat each other’s poop with great pleasure the cats tpo. If anyone thinks they care about bugs they have their own mental issues seek counseling.
