Omma & Space: Insect-Powered Nutrition and Travel-Ready Gear for the Modern Filipino Pet

Some pet brands make food. Some make gear. Very few do both — and fewer still do both with a clear philosophy behind every product. Omma & Space is one of those rare brands, and it's one of the most quietly fascinating names we carry at Le Bubu Pets.

On one side of the Omma & Space story is something genuinely forward-thinking: dog food powered by insect protein — a sustainable, novel protein source that's gaining serious attention from pet nutrition researchers worldwide. On the other side is a line of thoughtfully designed travel gear: breathable carriers, organizer bags, picnic mats, and portable bowls that make adventures with your furbaby easier and a lot more stylish. Today, we're giving this brand the full spotlight it deserves.

Insect Protein for Dogs? Here's Why It Makes Sense

If "insect-powered nutrition" makes you pause, you're not alone — it's a new idea for many Filipino pet parents. But there are real, practical reasons this category is growing fast around the world.

A novel protein for dogs with food sensitivities

Many dogs develop sensitivities to common proteins like chicken or beef simply because they've been exposed to them for years. Novel proteins — ones your dog has likely never eaten before — give the immune system a fresh start, which is why they're often recommended for dogs with itchy skin, upset tummies, or recurring food reactions. It's the same logic behind the crocodile-based treats from our house brand Hoya Barkery: an unfamiliar protein is far less likely to trigger a reaction. Insect protein takes that idea even further — it's about as novel as a protein can get.

Gentler on the planet

Insect farming uses dramatically less land, water, and feed than traditional livestock, and produces far fewer emissions. For pet parents who think about their household's environmental footprint, switching even part of a dog's diet to insect-based nutrition is one of the most meaningful changes you can make — no lifestyle overhaul required.

Nutritionally complete, not a compromise

Insect protein isn't a lesser substitute. It's naturally rich in protein and essential fatty acids, and Omma Recipe is formulated as proper, balanced dog food — not a novelty snack. Many dogs also find the savory, umami-rich flavor surprisingly appealing, including picky eaters who turn their noses up at ordinary kibble.

Meet Omma Recipe: The Food

The heart of the brand's nutrition line is Omma Recipe Insect-Powered Nutrition. The 450g bag is the perfect starting point — big enough for a proper trial, small enough that you're not committing to a full pantry shelf before you know your dog loves it. Larger 1kg and 6kg options exist in the range for households that make the switch long-term, so keep an eye on the collection page for availability.

A practical tip from our team: you don't have to switch your dog's entire diet overnight. Many customers start by using Omma Recipe as a mix-in or partial replacement, gradually increasing the ratio over one to two weeks. This slow transition is kinder to your dog's digestion and lets you watch how their coat, energy, and stool quality respond. Speaking of gut-friendly nutrition — fans of Belly Buddy bone broth will be happy to know a major restock is arriving this August 2026, including Beef, Salmon, hypoallergenic Crocodile, and Tuna variants. Bone broth poured over Omma Recipe is a picky-eater trick our team swears by.

The Travel Line: Gear That Makes Adventures Easier

Here's where Omma & Space surprises people. Beyond nutrition, the brand designs some of the most beautiful pet travel gear we've seen — the kind of pieces that look at home in a stylish Korean café and survive a weekend trip to Tagaytay.

Summer Mesh Bag: the breathable carrier

The Summer Mesh Bag is the star of the line — an airport-approved carrier built around breathable mesh panels that keep air flowing, which matters enormously in Philippine heat and humidity. It comes in Medium and Large sizes and a range of genuinely lovely colorways. If you've ever watched your cat or small dog pant inside a stuffy carrier, you'll understand immediately why airflow is the feature worth paying for. (Note: several colorways are on pre-order, so check the collection page for current options.)

Bucket Bag: the essentials organizer

The waterproof Bucket Bag solves a problem every traveling pet parent knows: food, treats, bowls, wipes, and toys scattered across three different tote bags. It keeps everything organized and within reach — especially useful during rainy season trips when you want gear that shrugs off a downpour.

Picnic Mat and Portable Travel Bowl: the small comforts

The Pet Picnic Mat gives your furbaby a clean, cozy spot at the park or beach, while the Portable Travel Bowl folds down small enough for any bag — pair it with an Oh Hello insulated travel bottle and hydration on the go is fully sorted.

Why Le Bubu Pets Carries Omma & Space

We're selective about the brands on our shelves, and Omma & Space earned its place for a simple reason: it takes both halves of pet parenthood seriously. Nutrition that looks toward the future of sustainable pet care, and gear that respects the reality that our pets come with us — to cafés, on road trips, through airports. That combination of substance and style is exactly what we look for.

It also fits how we've organized lebubupets.com: every brand has its own collection page, so whether you're shopping for a sensitive-skinned dog, a picky eater, or your next out-of-town adventure, you can browse by need and find the right fit in minutes.

Getting Started

If your dog struggles with common-protein sensitivities, start with the 450g Omma Recipe and transition gradually. If travel is on your calendar, the Summer Mesh Bag and Bucket Bag are worth a serious look before your next trip. And if you simply love the idea of feeding your furbaby in a way that's kinder to the planet — this is one of the easiest places to begin.
