Dogs often suffer from painful skin symptoms -- from hot spots and rashes to ear infections and hair loss. These dog parents were at their wit's end after endless diet changes and expensive prescriptions failed to solve the problem. Switching their pups to a vegan diet was the solution that finally gave them their quality of life back.
Contrary to what pet food companies lead us to believe, dogs with allergies are most commonly reacting to animal proteins, not grains. With constant exposure to these allergens in their diets, it's no wonder dogs can develop painful skin reactions and digestive issues.
Check out these incredible transformations to learn how a vegan diet can benefit your pup!
Maple
"We have tried every kibble and every diet. We've spent THOUSANDS at the vets. Maple was on Prednisone daily for the 9 months prior to switching her to V-Dog.
Maple is doing amazingly well on V-Dog. For the first time in YEARS! Unlike anything else we've tried.
We were considering putting her down during our summer break. She was in such bad shape. She looked like a burn victim. She would scratch her face until she had open, bleeding sores.
Not anymore! Look how much she improved in less than 2 weeks! She's also been off of Prednisone for well over a month now. So, for all you naysayers; This food LITERALLY saved my dog's life."

Gucci
"Our beautiful bully pit Gucci has always suffered with mild to moderate skin rashes and hot spots since she was a puppy. We spent a lot of time at the vets and tried just about every kind of food there is along with expensive medications, in the hopes of reducing her painful and itchy symptoms. Nothing seemed to work so we had no choice but to accept this ill fate.
Several months ago, Gucci’s health took a turn for the worst. Her skin rashes got so bad that she lost all of her hair and her entire body became swollen with sores and outbreaks. She was on prednisone and antibiotics but still her symptoms got worse and worse. She began vomiting up her food, she had constant diarrhea and became lethargic. She didn’t want to stand up anymore and was losing the will to live. We dreaded the worst case scenario but sadly, we considered putting her down to end her suffering.
We heard about V-Dog from a relative and decided to give it a try. We were desperate. Within 5 – 7 days on V-Dog Gucci’s symptoms started to subside. The swelling went down, the sores healed and her hair began growing back. Within 3 weeks she was back to her playful, loving and healthy self! She was darting around the house with more joy and enthusiasm than we’ve ever seen! She was so happy to be free from pain."

Dotty
"Dotty is a 5 year old English Bulldog whose allergies are so severe she is actually allergic to ALL MEAT! She was spending all her time itching, scratching and scooting to relive her itch but V-dog has changed all that. She is back to her cute spunky self. She has more energy now and LOVES when a new bag of dog food comes in the mail! Thank you V-Dog for making my best friend well again through highly nutritious plant based dog food!"

Mindy
"My 10 year old little girl has been battling food allergies since she was 2. Always sleeping, breakouts, and eye issues. No energy. No food would ever make it completely go away and her quality of life was poor.
In less than a week of eating V Dog, she is energetic, alert, can see and hear us, skin breakouts gone and eyes clearing up! I’m a believer!!! Thank you for giving Mindy her life back!!!"
- Sonja
Sunny
"For months my vet and I have tried to resolve Sunny's skin irritation and internal issues, it turns out she's allergic to meat protein!! Who would have though a dog could be allergic to meat right?! Within 3 days of starting v-dog her discolored paws and belly have almost completely cleared up! No itchy skin, no gas, she's more active, all within a week! You guys saved my dog, and I can officially say our whole family is vegan!"

Francie & Zsa Zsa
"It wasn’t until I took in fosters Francie and Zsa Zsa, that I began to appreciate the healing powers of V-Dog. They both came to me with fairly bad skin issues. The top part of Francie’s ears had no hair on them, and the skin was covered with tiny bumps in that area. Poor Zsa Zsa had a serious case of Itchy Butt, and had no hair on her back at the base of her tail. The skin there was very crusty and red and dry, and she constantly tried to gnaw or scratch at it.
Two months after arriving, they were both completely free of any skin issues. It was an amazing transformation."
