Functional Dog Treats | Hypoallergenic Insect Protein | BuggyBix
Australian-made dog treats built on insect protein, developed with Western Sydney University (WSU), and designed for dogs that need more from their treats.
Treats That Do More Than Reward
Most dog treats are an afterthought, packed with common allergens like chicken or beef, artificial flavours, and low-quality fillers. BuggyBix Functional Dog Treats are different. Made from black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), a novel, hypoallergenic insect protein, every treat is formulated to support your dog's health while still being something they will go crazy for.
Developed in partnership with Western Sydney University (WSU) and patented in Australia, BuggyBix treats are grain-free, gluten-free, meat-free, and free from common allergens. They are suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes, and gentle enough for everyday use.
The BuggyBix Treats Range
Every treat in the BuggyBix range is formulated to target a specific health need:
- Everyday Training Treats — daily nutrition and reward, suitable for all dogs
- Joint Care Treats — formulated with curcumin, glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 (EPA and DHA) to support joint health and mobility
- Skin and Coat Treats — targeted fatty acid support for healthy skin and a shiny coat
- Calming Treats — formulated to support dogs prone to anxiety or stress
- Mini Packs — ideal for trying the range
Why Insect Protein?
Insect protein is classified as a novel protein, meaning most dogs have never encountered it before. This makes it naturally hypoallergenic and far less likely to trigger the immune responses associated with common proteins like chicken, beef, or lamb. Black soldier fly larvae are also highly digestible and contain all essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, and key minerals including zinc, copper, and magnesium.
The chitin found naturally in insect exoskeletons also acts as a prebiotic fibre, supporting gut health from the inside.

- Dogs with food allergies or sensitivities to chicken, beef, or lamb

Real Results from Dogs with Allergies & Sensitive Stomachs
Why We Created BuggyBix
So many dogs struggle with itching, gut issues & food sensitivities. Too often, treats make things worse.
We created BuggyBix to give dog owners a safer, gentler option, so you can reward your dog without the worry.
Many traditional dog treats use common proteins such as chicken or beef. These are the most frequent triggers for allergies or sensitivities.
BuggyBix uses insect protein, a sustainable & highly digestible alternative that's less likely to cause reactions in dogs with sensitivities or prone to allergies.
