I’ve been seeing more and more vegan dogs foods pop up lately—a huge shift from the uber-trendy raw diet that promotes meat-heavy meals. So what gives? Is this just a marketing ploy? Cyclical sale tactics? Like humans, dogs are omnivores, which means they can derive necessary nutrients from both plant and animal sources. But which is better? Do dog actually benefit from plant-based foods, or is this a way to appease those humans that are vegan?

First and foremost, I highly recommend you do your own research on this topic. There are many passionate opinions on both sides of the debate. We have great resources on finding the right vegan dog food and one on vegan dog treats.

My 9-year-old goldendoodle has been on a vegan diet his entire life. He’s a big doodle, consistently weighing between 82 and 87 pounds since he was full-grown, and he has never been overweight. All of this is anecdotal, of course, but he has been very happy and overall healthy throughout his life, and I have no regrets about my diet choice. I’ve been feeding him Wild Earth for the last three years or so, and he loves it.
