There are also many thousands of real life examples of vegan dogs thriving. We ourselves tried vegan food for our dog because two family members had dogs on vegan diets their entire lives and these full pedigree dogs (which usually have shorter life spans than mixed breeds) all out lived their breeds life expectancy by a number of years.

Below are some other examples of vegan dogs thriving taken from the sources above.

"Sydney, a 19-year-old vegan dog, has not experienced the health decline that is typical for dogs in their teens. "We may pay a little more than economy brands, but the money saved in vet bills is worth it," says Sydney's guardian, Sandy. "And a happy, healthy senior dog...priceless."

Seven, a vegan dog who lived to age 20, received A+ checkups at the vet and had perfect bloodwork up until his recent passing. His mom, Jill, attributed his excellent health to many years on a plant-based diet.

Bramble, a vegan collie in the UK, lived to age 25 on a plant-based diet and is recognized as one of the longest-living dogs in the Guinness Book of World Records. Her guardian, Anne Heritage, has raised seven vegan dogs, and five of them lived past 19 years old."

Why Choose Vegan Dog Food

There are many reasons, personal beliefs, climate change, why kill one animal for another? itchy skin, health issues, etc

Does your dog have an issue with anal their anal glands and need to get them expressed and anal fluids pushed out? You will need to look at a food which has more fibre in it. The vegan dog food comparison tool above can sort all the foods by their fibre amount so that you can then find one more suitable for your dog. This way, with more fibre in the food your dog will clear out their own anal glands when they are having a poo. If it's a firmer poo that your dog needs then this should help.

Do dogs want to even eat cows, sheep, pigs, chicken, fish? Or are they interested in tasty food and textures?
