When to Choose Jiminy's Crunchy Treats Original Recipe
Eco-conscious owners and dogs with common protein sensitivities
Jiminy's is the most innovative treat in this comparison — cricket protein delivers complete amino acids with a fraction of the environmental impact of traditional meat. The novel protein is a genuine option for allergy-prone dogs. Not every dog will love the taste immediately, but the sustainability story and ingredient quality are compelling.
Strengths
- Cricket protein is highly sustainable — 2,000x less water than beef production
- Novel protein source ideal for dogs with common protein allergies
- Clean ingredient list with no artificial preservatives or fillers
Limitations
- Cricket protein is unfamiliar to most dog owners — adoption hurdle
- Some dogs may reject the flavor profile initially
- Smaller 5oz bag means higher cost per ounce
