How can I ensure that I keep my dog or cat in the most sustainable way possible?
No worries, at VegaVriend you’re in the right place!
🥦 It starts with food: plant-based food is much more sustainable than meat-based food. When you switch your dog or cat to plant-based food, you’re already doing a great job!
♻️ Additionally, we have many other sustainable products in our assortment. Think of dog and cat toys, poop bags, cat litter, and various care products.
🌳 Avoid overconsumption and shop consciously! With a bit of creativity, you can go a long way. Need inspiration? Check out our blog.

What do you do for sustainability?
A lot! Here are some of our key points:
🌱 All our products are 100% vegan.
🌱 All the products we sell are sustainable in some way. For example, they are organic or made from recycled/biodegradable materials.
🌱 Our stock is stored in a well-insulated building with solar panels on the roof and LED lighting.
🌱 Our packing slips are printed on recycled paper.
🌱 We reuse our packaging materials, and all new boxes are made from recycled cardboard.
🌱 We use paper tape instead of plastic.
🌱 We don’t use an office, we work from home! Remote work is sustainable because it reduces CO2 emissions, saves energy, lowers waste production, and improves work-life balance.

Why do you have less cat food in store compared to dog food?
Good question🐱 Every day we search for new product that we can add to our webshop, but there is simply less available when it comes to plant-based cat food.

My pet is allergic to wheat. Some products contain ‘grains’, does it concern wheat?
Wheat is indeed a grain, but not all grains are wheat. If a package indicates that it contains grains, it could be wheat or a combination of grains, such as rye, corn, or rice. That’s why you’ll find all ingredients listed per product in the description, and you can use the filters. Select the ‘wheat-free’ filter in the product category you’re browsing. This way, you’ll see all wheat-free products, and you won’t have to search for them yourself!
My pet probably has an allergy. Do you have products for my pet, if it’s not clear what the allergy is yet?
Ah, that’s a tough one! It’s difficult to give advice if there isn’t a specific allergy known yet. A possibility would be to try products that are made from only one ingrediënt. Like the sweet potato snacks, the Pawfect fruitsnacks Or the Soopa snacks. When in doubt, always consult your vet!
How can I prevent urinary problems for my cat?
Keep an eye on the PH levels of your cat’s urine. The tests can be gradually reduced and are easy to perform. This prevents the urine from becoming alkaline and, eventually, bladder grit. Do you want to know how to do the PH tests? See what Dr. Andrew Knight says about it here.
Do you have special food for my cat with kidney problems?
As far as we know, unfortunately, there is no plant-based food for cats with kidney disease yet.
However, we do offer the Cranimals supplement, which supports kidney health. You can read more about Cranimals and their products here. Always consult your veterinarian regarding food choices when your cat has health issues.
Do you sell hypoallergenic kibble for cats?
Yes, we do! The kibble from Ami Cat is hypoallergenic. Shop here.
How can I be sure that the products do not contain animal ingredients?
VegaVriend does not sell products with animal ingredients! We always make sure a product is plantbased, before we add it to our webshop. If we have the tiniest bit of doubt, we always double check with the producers of the product. That’s how we can guarantee that all products in our webshop are 100% plantbased!
What food do you recommend for my pet?
Advice about nutrition depends on a number of factors, like: age, size, exercise and allergies. And, just like people, all furry friends are different. Use our nutrition guide for some quick suggestions, and contact us ([email protected]) if you need a more indepth advice!
Where do I find the ingredients, nutritional value and dietary guidelines of a product?
You can find all this information per product in the description. We try to list everything in as much detail as possible. But if a question remains, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]! We will be happy to help you.
Why would I let my dog or cat transition to a plant-based diet?
Woof! We could write a book about it! Rick actually already did 😉
But if you want a short anwer: Plantbased food is healthy, durable, tasty and without animal cruelty!
What other reasons do you need?
In case you prefer the long answer: read it here.
Is plantbased petfood healthy and nutritional?
All the dry food we sell is complete food. This means it contains all the necessary nutrients. So yes, it is just as nutritious and healthy as regular kibble. For instance, taurine (a very important ingredient for cats to stay healthy) is always added to the cat food, and all the dog food is carefully formulated as well. If you have any concerns about your pet’s health, always consult your veterinarian.
How can I start with a plant-based diet for my cat or dog?
There are several ways to do this, and we’ve outlined them for you in this blog!
What is most important when you are feeding your cat or dog vegan food?
Make sure your pet receives complete nutrition. This means the food contains all the nutrients your pet needs for a long and healthy life. All the dry food we sell is complete, making shopping easy!
You could also prepare homemade meals, supplemented with an appropriate addition. You can find more information about this in the book Dog. Eat. Plant!
