Yes! :) Through thousands of years of evolution alongside humans, dogs are omnivores (not carnivores!) and they've adapted to digest starches 28 times better than wolves. Dogs can get all of their nutrients from vegan sources and are often healthier, leaner and more energetic when consuming plant-based food. Other benefits of feeding your pup a vegan diet can include elimination of allergic reactions, better oral hygiene, improved skin/coat, and weight management. If our testimonials page here doesn’t convince you, check out some of the research and facts on vegan dogs. (P.S. Did you know one of the Guinness Book of World Records' oldest dogs, “Bramble” the collie, was a vegan?!)

V-dog kibble is made in California with healthy, yummy whole foods like peas, lentils, quinoa and brown rice. We never use any corn, soy, wheat, gluten, fake stuff or fillers. See our full ingredients list on our kibble page.

We also make USDA organic Wiggle Biscuits with 9 delicious ingredients, and yummy, chewy Breathbones. 

All of our products are made in the USA.

V-dog kibble is formulated to meet or exceed all guidelines for adult dog nutrition per AAFCO standards, so you can feel confident that it will meet your dog's needs. Dogs have been thriving on our formula since 2005 and we have never had any issues with deficiencies. Please visit our kibble page, or email us at support@v-dog.com, with any questions about our nutrition.

Nope! It’s fully supplemented with everything your dog needs to thrive, including 24% protein, L. carnitine, taurine and other whole foods, vitamins and minerals.

Both our taurine and L. carnitine are from 100% vegan sources. 

Check out our feeding guidelines here or on your kibble bag.

V-dog is technically an "adult formula," since it is expertly formulated to meet AAFCO standards for dogs 1 year and up. We have received feedback from many customers who have successfully raised younger puppies on v-dog: Check out Durango Animal Connection's story on our blog about raising 30+ foster puppies (and a nursing mamma!) successfully on v-dog, and our story about Bulldog puppies raised on v-dog.

Yes! We have many senior v-dogs thriving on our kibble (some into their 20s!) who experience reduced joint pain/arthritis and great energy. See some of their amazing stories here.

Since 2005, we've received incredible feedback from customers whose dogs are allergy-prone, have sensitive stomachs, and/or suffer from skin/coat issues. You can check out their stories on our Testimonials page! Since v-dog is a pure plant-based dog food with no corn, soy or wheat, it is easily digestible and tends to help with allergy-related doggy ailments.

Many of our canine customers shed unwanted extra weight when they switch over to our pure, lean, highly-digestible plant protein formula. Yay for faster ball-chasing!

We've heard many success stories from diabetic v-dogs. Read more about the benefits of a plant-based diet for diabetic dogs here.

V-dog kibble provides 100% complete nutrition for adult dogs and includes ingredients for urinary tract health such as methionine and cranberries. Please check out this article for more information if your dog is prone to urinary tract issues.

Our regular-sized kibble is approximately 1/2 inch in diameter and our Mini Bites kibble is approximately 1/4 inch in diameter. Both sizes are the same great formula, but we recommend our Mini Bites for dogs with small mouths or trouble chewing.

If needed, our kibble can be moistened in water to form a "wet food"-like texture. Check out some tips here!

Our 30 lb bag holds approximately 125 cups of kibble. 

Our 20 lb bag holds approximately 83 cups of kibble.

Our 4.5 lb bag of Mini Bites holds approximately 18 cups of kibble.

Breathbones are hard chews that become soft and break apart as your dog licks and chews (YUM!). We currently offer 'mini' and 'regular' size breathbones. 

Mini: 3 inches long

Regular: 4 inches long

At this time, we are focusing on expanding our vegan dog products, but are considering cat products down the line!

At v-dog, we source high-quality, vegan ingredients for our 100% complete and balanced plant-based kibble. Since meat is a highly subsidized commodity (and can be especially cheap in the pet food industry) our ingredients are innately more costly. Plus, we don't use fillers or cheap ingredients, resulting in a superb, easily-digestible, yummy product. We're a family business with a goal of helping dogs and all animals live better lives. We work hard to pass any savings we recoup in our production process on to our customers.
