Dog treats with koji protein
Wild Earth recently debuted Good Protein Dog Snacks with Koji, a dog treat made with an eco-friendly, renewably sourced member of the fungi kingdom.
The treats satisfy dogs with koji’s umami-rich flavor, whole protein with 10 essential amino acids, and health benefits, including omega fatty acids, digestion-boosting enzymes, and prebiotics to support gastrointestinal microbiomes. Only 15 calories each, Good Protein Dog Snacks with Koji include other wholesome ingredients like peanut butter, pumpkin, and oat.
“We need new and alternative proteins to feed a growing global pet population, and also to minimize the environmental impact of feeding that growing population,” says Wild Earth CEO Ryan Bethencourt. “Koji is ideal for dogs based on its nutritional profile and sustainability, and [is] used by Michelin-star chefs to add gourmet flavor, so our dog taste testers loved these treats.”
A 5-ounce bag of Good Protein Dog Snacks with Koji sells for $12.99 at Wild Earth’s online store.
Ice cream for the arts
Unilever recently launched Culture Republick, the first premium light ice cream brand with probiotics. Each pint contains3 billion live active cultures, as well as 400–500 calories, 16–18 grams of protein, and 11–12 grams of fiber.

Additionally, 10% of the brand’s profits will support the arts in local communities, with charitable donations made possible by the Unilever Foundation.
“Culture Republick was created with a distinct purpose in mind,” says Leslie Miller, marketing director of ice cream. “We believe that humanity could use a bit more brightness.
