Vegan Dog Food

Delicious Vegan Dog Food

It doesn’t make much sense opting for a vegan lifestyle while also owning a dog you feed meat. You might be avoiding animal products, but your dog certainly isn’t.

For many vegans, this creates a dilemma. You either get a dog and accept that it will have to consume animal food in some capacity, or you go without. It’s not a great choice. 

Now, though, thanks to Time For Paws, you can have your cake and eat it. With our certified vegan dog food, you can give your pet plant-based meals with no animal suffering involved whatsoever. Isn’t that amazing? 

Can Dogs Go Vegan?

Many people believe that dogs are meat eaters by nature. The natural ancestors of dogs - wolves - work in packs to hunt down prey and feed on the carcass. 

Dogs, though, aren’t purely meat-eaters. Just like us, they can derive protein contained in plants and use it to build strong, healthy bodies. 

The trick is getting the right balance of essential amino acids is to select plant ingredients carefully. Our vegan dog food ensures that your pooch gets all of the nutrients that they need to be healthy. You never have to worry about deficiencies. 

What’s more, your dog will benefit too. More fibre encourages healthy toilet habits and a stronger immune system. And all the additional nutrients contribute to a robust immune system. 

What Goes Into Vegan Dog Food? 

So if your dog isn’t eating meat, what is he or she eating, exactly? 

The precise constituents of vegan dog food depend heavily on the manufacturer. Most products use a combination of legumes and whole grains to provide the necessary nutrient profile. 

Peas, for instance, are a popular ingredient because they contain a high level of the types of amino acids that dogs would traditionally get from meat. Oats and barley are also found in a broad swathe of vegan dog foods, again, because of their favourable protein content and high nutrient density. 

Many manufacturers also include more exotic components in their food too to provide additional nutrition to your pets. Some, for instance, add flaxseed - a good source of fats for your pooch. 

Is Vegan Dog Food Safe? 

Vegan dog food is perfectly safe if you purchase it from a reputable vendor, such as those available here on Time For Paws. Many manufacturers provide guarantees on the label, such as “no animal ingredients.” They may also offer additional benefits, such as sustainably-grown ingredients, no animal products, or complete nutrition (meaning that you can feed these foods to your dog exclusively). 

Are There Different Flavours? 

While dogs are creatures of habit, it is nice to know that there are a variety of vegan food flavours out there for them to try. We stock a wide range of vegan dog foods and treats for your pet to enjoy. With them, you can prevent animal suffering and have a dog as a pet at the same time. What could be better than that?
