Why Vegan Dogs

Veganpet: Revolutionizing Canine Nutrition

Yes, Dogs Can Thrive on a Vegan Diet!

With Veganpet, you can nourish your canine companion while making an ethical choice that reduces animal suffering and environmental impact.

Transitioning to Vegan

The best time to start your dog on a vegan diet is as a puppy, but older dogs can adapt too. Make changes slowly, gradually introducing Veganpet dry food and vegetables while decreasing their old diet. Ensure your dog is eating enough to maintain their health. For very old dogs, consider a partial transition to minimize stress.

Veganpet puppy/dog food is a complete dry food containing all essential nutrients from plant sources. We now offer vegan wet food too, perfect for adding variety to your dog’s meals.

 

Feeding Guide

Veganpet dry food forms an excellent base for your dog’s vegan diet. Follow the recommended amounts on the label, adjusting for size, activity, and age. You can serve it alone, mix with other foods, or soften with warm water. We recommend feeding adult dogs at least twice daily, with puppies needing more frequent meals.

Delicious Additions

While dogs can thrive on Veganpet alone, variety can make mealtimes more exciting. Try adding:

  • Cooked Vegetables: mashed squash, sweet potato, broccoli (in small amounts), or potato
  • Grains and Proteins: rice, pasta, lentils, or tofu
  • Raw Vegetables: finely grated greens, carrots, beetroot, or sprouts
  • Meat Alternatives: TVP or wheat gluten (prepared to be meat-like in texture)
  • Fruits (served separately): ripe cantaloupe, banana, melons, or pears

For extra flavor, consider small amounts of Japanese seaweed, veggie bacon bits, brewer’s yeast, spirulina powder, soy sauce, tahini, or vegetarian gravy. Sanitarium’s TVP products can add variety, but use sparingly due to salt content.

Important Tips

  • Always provide fresh, cool water.
  • Serve meals at room temperature or slightly warm.
  • Avoid feeding large meals before exercise.
  • For indoor dogs, consider growing “cat grass” for added enrichment.
  • Be cautious with onions, garlic, chocolate, and legumes – limit or avoid these.

Remember, Veganpet dry food provides complete nutrition. Other foods simply add variety and interest to your dog’s diet. With Veganpet, you’re not just feeding your dog – you’re making a compassionate choice for animals and the planet.
