  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Pet Nutrition Show, hosts Amanda and Dr. Anna Sutton explore the evolving pet food industry in Egypt.


    Guest Ashraf El Sharkawy, co-founder of Proteina, explains the culture of pet parenting in Egypt and the growth of their company from feather waste for feed meals to insect protein for pet food. He also explains local food waste challenges, and the dominance of imported pet food - something they're trying to change. Ashraf also shares the outstanding palatability results they've been achieving.


    In Q&A, Dr Anna talks about distinguishing between food-derived tryptophan and supplements for aiding with pet anxiety. They finish up with a food hack for making pet-friendly falafel for dogs!
