Can dogs really be vegan?Updated a year ago

Yes! :) Due to thousands of years of evolution alongside humans, dogs are omnivores (not carnivores!) and have adapted to digest plant-based foods. Unlike their ancestors, domestic dogs possess up to 30 copies of AMY2B gene for digesting plant foods. As a result, all modern dog breeds can easily get all their nutrients from vegan sources.

Since 2005, we've seen tens of thousands of dogs thrive on v-dog kibble. Vegan diets for dogs are naturally hypoallergenic, easily digestible, and anti-inflammatory. Many dogs also benefit from better oral hygiene, improved skin/coat, and weight management. V-dog kibble is veterinarian-approved and meets all AAFCO requirements for adult dog nutrition.

Review the most recent discussion of the newest study presenting evidence of the health benefits of feeding your dog a plant-based diet (particularly using v-dog kind kibble). Visit the discussion here on our YouTube channel.
