Vegan dog food?

April 28, 2003

Howdy all-

I am looking to find a good source of vegan dog food

(probably dry, maybe wet) that will be nutritionally

complete for my furry friend.

Does anyone know of any good brands, and where to get

them?

I'd really appreciate any insights anyone might have.

Thank you!

peace & joy

I'm not sure, but Trader Joes might have some. I know for sure they

have all veggie dog biscuits.

Up until a few years ago when my canine ward, Sabra, passed away, I used to

buy both vegan kibble and vegan canned food for her made by a company called

Nature's Recipe. She loved them, especially when the canned food was heated

and mixed with the kibble. The products are sold in " pet " supply stores

along with other dog foods by the same company. The veggie foods can also

be ordered upon request from any store carrying other Nature's Recipe dog

foods. A few calls to local " pet " food shops should yield a local source

for the products. According to the company's web site at

http://www.naturesrecipe.heinzpetproducts.com/pages/dogproducts/allergy/vege

tarian.asp:

" Nature's Recipe Vegetarian Canine Formula was created to give your adult

dog a diet free of animal protein ingredients that can cause skin and coat

problems in dietary-sensitive dogs. Vegetarian Canine Formula is also a nice

choice if you happen to be a vegetarian yourself. This formula provides the

same ten essential amino acids found in diets with meat as the protein

source. "

carbohydrates
