Benji is a medical miracle

“I have been vegan for years, and I no longer wanted to contribute to animal suffering through my pets. I am a researcher myself and I first did good research. This showed that it is also very possible for cats to go vegan. Our other cat(s) have also been fed vegan food for years and are doing great on it!

Benji is a somewhat special case. After the castration he did not improve again. The symptoms were very clear: HCM. A progressive heart disease. The prognosis was “very serious” and with good luck she had a maximum of one year to live. But with medication twice a day and the vegan food, it is still doing very well more than 2 years later!

Benji is currently being fed from Ami Cat. "- Boukje Heidstra

Sheila is a diva in the house

Since I started going vegan with my cats, they have only improved! No more unpleasant odors, the coat is shiny and super soft, and they really like to eat it. Sheila gets the kibble from Ami Cat. 

Sheila is truly the diva of the house. She prefers to sleep in her own chair all day. But when she is awake, all the energy comes out at once and I keep wondering whether she leaves the house intact! ” – Boukje Heidstra

Gizmo loves to talk and eat

“I have been vegan for years, and I no longer wanted to contribute to animal suffering through my pets. I am a researcher myself and I first did good research. This showed that it is also very possible for cats to go vegan. Our other cat(s) have also been fed vegan food for years and are doing great on it!

From the start, all our cats love the food Amy Cat Totally awesome. The containers are licked clean up to (and almost including) the bottom. They are always cheerful, extremely energetic and have a good coat. I also have them checked regularly by the vet and he is always very satisfied!

Gizmo is a huge talker. Especially when he's naughty! As soon as you say something about it, he talks back as if he were saying: “But I'm not doing anything!”. He is also a very big eater. As soon as Gizmo realizes that it is dinner time, it is almost impossible for him to stay away from the feeding barrel. He prefers to eat the whole bag (and has tried that once when I forgot to put the bag away right away).”

Robin is enjoying her old age

"Hello! I am Robin, Robin Scheper Woerden-Van Soest. Hehehe. My human friends enjoyed giving me whatever names they thought were appropriate. I am a Malinois lady, now 13 years old. Born close to Rotterdam at the age of 6e little afterthought, in the car on the way home from the vet where my other 5 brothers and sisters were born. Grew up on a ship in the Oosterdok of Amsterdam. I then traveled the world, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, even South Africa. Where my human friend goes, I go. We are always and everywhere together, out together, home together, day in and day out. We really are the best friends ever.

As a puppy I was raised on a raw diet – my human friends all wanted it as natural as possible for me. One of them had been a vegetarian since he was 16e but together they came up with the idea that I would eat animals in the wild so that that would also be okay and best for my health. However, over the years it became clearer and clearer how terribly horrible horribly painful and disastrous the meat industry and all industries (dairy, clothing, cosmetics, entertainment, sports, transport) that involve animals are so 6 years ago my a human friend to live a completely vegan lifestyle.

The idea that so many other animals have to suffer terribly throughout their lives, from birth to the end, made him decide to go completely vegan for me too. And I love it! And I'm doing really well at it! It dry food from Benevo and the wet food from benefit and To me. Sometimes from other brands if it suits you. Vegan cookies from yarrah and chew on it whimzees en Garden bites provide a tasty and healthy snack that is also good for my teeth (the vet is very proud of my teeth!). And of course all kinds of fruit, nuts and seeds.

I'm in great shape at 13e. I'm getting a bit older of course with some wear and tear here and there, some osteoarthritis and cataracts, but my coat is super soft and I'm in a super good mood. My human friend sleeps a lot more peacefully knowing that no unnecessary atrocities have to take place for me. He is an animal lover, and that is not just limited to pets…” - Fred

Sancho has been eating vegan for a long time

"Hi. I am Sancho, Sancho Pança Mateus de Oliveiria Woerden to be precise. Yup – same human friends as Robin, hence the many names, I'm six, a foundling, Portuguese and super picky. I'm a cool cat, I have four different white lightning bolts on my black paws and I'm a cuddle bug at times. I am a super social animal and am always waiting at the door when my human friends come to my house and I like to crawl next to them on the couch or preferably on my lap. I live half in Portugal where I have a lovely garden and half in the Netherlands where we have no outside but do have central heating.

I'm obsessed with cardboard boxes. Put one down and I'll be in it within ten seconds. So my one human friend leaves all the boxes in the house and provides them with holes and hatches to sit in and play with. My other human friend would rather see one or two well-designed and beautifully made boxes than this crude collection in every nook and cranny of the house – but I like it that way! And together with my cat friend Kasper we play happily in and on and around the different boxes. Robin often wants to play along, but we don't understand each other well and it often becomes a lot of hassle.

For dry food, I have been eating vegan chunks for years benefit. I love them and they do great! My fur is incredibly soft like velvet and I am in the prime of my life.

As picky as I am, I turn my nose up at vegan wet food and vegan cat treats. My human friend finds this very difficult because there are good alternatives that other animals do not have to suffer for a lifetime and ultimately pay for with a gruesome death. But no, no, no - there is a lot to choose from for dogs, but for us tomcats, the choice is seriously disappointing and whatever my human friend has served me - I'll give my brand to Fikkie - or rather Robin in this case (Robin is my 13 year old dog housemate who I am sometimes very rude to, but when she is sometimes sick or in pain I immediately lie next to her and do not leave her side - yep, big mouth, small heart, that's me...).

My human friend is still hoping for vegan wet food and cat treats that meet my approval. He keeps searching and trying.” - Fred

Kasper has a very soft coat

“Hey there! I'm Kasper. Kasparov Kornelis Carolo Mateus de Oliveira Woerden – you guessed it – part of the family with Robin and Sancho. I am also a tomcat, also Portuguese, black as night, five years old and therefore the last in the family. I also live in both the Netherlands and Portugal. Portugal is my favorite – I have a garden there and I can lie in front of the window and look out over the street (or from the roof) at what is happening. There we have plants to hide in and trees and all kinds of stumps to climb. Amsterdam is also okay, that central heating. But above all, just having fun together with my people and animal friends.

However, I am much more ignorant than Sancho and Robin and much more wary of others around me. I'm a cuddler, but also at regular times. I'm a go-getter and often challenge Sancho to come run, play and romp. Sometimes things get a bit too rough and we end up biting each other. In the end we always make up and sleep together again somewhere on the couch, on the bed or in one of the many cardboard boxes in the house. I like to play, often at night. My human friends then hear me racing through the house and jumping and climbing all possible objects. Furthermore, I like to imitate what Sancho does, he is the sexy cat and I am the copy cat – hehe. I'm a little smaller and slenderer than Sancho, but be careful! When it comes down to it, I'm the one who saves the house from intruders! Suddenly I'm five times bigger and ultra fast!

I have also been eating vegan chunks of it since I arrived as a tiny little tomcat found on the street benefit and I also turn my nose up at the vegan wet food and vegan sweets that have been offered to date. And this is also to the great regret of my human friend who finds this difficult. But he doesn't give up and when he finds something new he always tries it. The choice is much less than with dogs, but he doesn't give up. Furthermore, I am also very healthy. My coat is, if possible, even softer than that of my friend Sancho.”- Fred

Rio eats vegan for his health

”Rio was adopted when he was 4,5 months old. He is from Spain. He is very sweet and can also be very stubborn.. he has different toys, but plays with his favorite string every day.

Rio eats vegan for his health. He has very weak intestines / stomach and had (water) thin stools every day, nauseated every day and in all those years I switched food so often, because after a while he no longer ate that food. Until years ago I switched to the chunks of VegDog. He eats well and his stools have been good for years now. It is rare that his stools are (water) thin. I am very happy that Vegafriend the chunks of VegDog sells.”

Lotche-la knows what she wants and eats vegan

“We live together with a dog, we named her Lotche-la. She now gets vegan food because she likes everything, including vegetables, fruit, beans, herbs, etc. And because of her weight and because we are also vegan, so the whole family is vegan when she also eats vegan. She is currently on chunks of vegan dog food For wild love – those are the favourite. The food is light, smells good and has a good bite for Lotche-la.

Lotche-la is six years old and over the years I have come to realize that she has her own personality with likes and dislikes. She communicates with her eyes, muzzle, tail, posture, barks, sounds, walk, emotions on her face and body language. If she has a goal in mind, has devised a plan to get something done, she is strategically in her favor and uses her communication skills. At the Happy Pack, the shelter she goes to three days a week, they put puppies or frightened dogs with her, because Lotche-la can indicate very clearly how far you can go and if you are afraid, you can safely feel with her. She then seems to put a paw on the frightened dog or puppy. Lotche-la is also quirky. When we go for a walk, we determine together what the direction will be, but if I want to go right and she wants to go left, she will sit on the ground and cannot be moved forward. This is her way of expressing her disagreement. This also happens in other circumstances, Lotche-la can make her own choices in her own way and from her perspective. If she disagrees with something, she protests. But is this learned behavior or her way of influencing a situation? Does she question an existing power relationship between us with this behaviour? She is often willing to negotiate, but in some cases she does not make concessions. No is no! Eventually we walk her way, because I don't feel like dragging her down the street. Lotche-la can clearly indicate in situations what she wants or what she prefers or dislikes. This is because she is an individual.” — Alejandra

Joy is healthy and happy without meat

”Since January 30, 2021 (her adoption day) Joy has been eating vegan. She can perfectly live a healthy and happy life without meat. Moreover, no other animals have to sacrifice their lives.

Joy is from Romania. We adopted her 2 years ago through an organization that places stray dogs. From day 1 that she lived with us, she only received plant-based dog food and that immediately went well. Some things she likes, others less so. Vegavriend has a wide range, enough to try out what your dog likes best. Joy is currently getting Greta dog food en For vegan dog sausage.

”Buddy has been receiving vegan food for 2 years, because this is a food that did not precede animal suffering, such as with meat food. Currently getting Buddy Ami Dog chunks. It took some getting used to for her but now she loves it and I love it because it is animal cruelty free.

When it comes to snacks, Buddy doesn't have a favorite… She likes everything. Budje is a couch potato that is her way of asking for treats and she does that several times a day, very smart aunt.” – Mary Franken

Anton is freed from severe itching

”Anton is a one and a half year old rough-haired dachshund. He suffered a lot in the search for the right food, and vegan food helped him to improve his life considerably.

Anton suffered a lot from wounds and rashes due to food allergies. After every meal he started biting himself, causing pain and itching. Every night all I saw was him chewing his tail, scratching himself and wheezing in pain. We made numerous visits to the vet, but unfortunately they couldn't really help us. It was only after careful observation that we realized that Anton exhibited this behavior once he ate animal protein.

After more than half a year of research and experimentation, we have determined that Anton is indeed allergic to animal proteins. We switched him to a plant-based diet and it really made a world of difference. Finding vegetable chunks wasn't too difficult, but it turned out to be quite a challenge to find suitable snacks, because to top it off, Anton is also sensitive to grain, wheat and gluten. Fortunately, we came across Vega Friend with plenty of choice in snacks and that really changed Anton's life. He now enjoys delicious treats without us having to worry about allergic reactions. 

His favorite is banana, anything banana. The banana slices from VeggiePet his favorite and he prefers to pick only the bananas in his new snack: Garden Bites Fruity Friends. During walking and training we use the Eco Veggie Berry mixbut also the dried papaya from Soopa Chew works really well when we come home from a long walk!

Vega Friend understands the needs of dogs with food intolerances and offer solutions that are not only safe, but also taste great. Vega Friend is also a solution for people who want their dog to eat vegan for other reasons.

We are really grateful that vegan food and suitable snacks exist for Anton. It has made Anton's life and ours so much better.—Kelly

Lobo has been strengthened with vegetable feed

This sweet dog was very skinny when he came to live with me, within 6 weeks he was well on weight with vegetable food, I then added everything like linseed oil.” – Marianne.

Lou is perfectly healthy

"Lou eats Greta chunks and in addition he gets home cooked food for breakfast. His experience with this is very positive, because Lou likes it and is very healthy!

He is a rehomer, and we first gave him the food he was used to: meat. However, he vomited regularly. We ourselves already ate vegan. After consultation with the vet, who indicated that good vegan food is just as nutritious and healthy as products with dairy or meat, and because we like to live as sustainably as possible, we tested whether Lou likes vegan chunks. We tried a few things and found kibble he loves: Greta. In addition, we also cook vegan for him, for breakfast. He also enjoys that. As a snack he likes vegan treats with carrots in it or beets with olive oil.

Lou is a very active Dutch Smoushond who loves playing soccer and racing with dog buddies.” – Cordula

Active Tuck does great on vegan food

”Tuck is on vegan food from puppies on and he is doing great on it. Tuck gets vegan food because we live vegan ourselves and we would therefore find it strange to buy meat when a dog does not necessarily need it. Vegan food is better for the environment and no other animals have suffered for it. In addition, he does very well on it and I see no reason to change food.

We tested several brands to see which Tuck responds best to. Pieces like Greta en VegDog Green Crunch Have preference. Hopefully there will be more brands and options for vegan food soon. At this time, Tuck gets V-Dog crunchy nuggets. We change the type of food every year. His favorite snacks are the VegDog Beevys.

Tuck has an active 'lifestyle'. We do canitrail, canicross and go hiking in the mountains during the holidays.” –Olga

Binky's skin and fur look better

Binky has more energy since going vegan and his skin and coat look better. He also likes everything very much.

”I recently adopted Binky through a rescue foundation, and because I have been a vegan myself for 10 years, I now know that a dog can live a healthy and happy life on vegan food. I have the VeggieAnimals Plus chunks chosen Binky because it seemed to me the best composition. And aIf no one has to suffer for it, food also tastes much better!

Binky likes the most, anyway the kibble, and of it sample pack of VegDog snacks he doesn't like 2 but I gave them away to Rio, another dog. 

Binky was rescued from the streets in Romania and probably ate what he could get there. Fortunately, he now eats much healthier. He jumps and wags his tail when he hears the bag crack. And he also looks lively and with good energy.” – Marieke Griffin

Bobje has been refurbished by eating vegan

'My name is Bobje (Bobbie) and I am a dog of almost 12 years young. I am an incredibly sweet guy with strong willpower and love. Unfortunately I have a history of many medical issues including severe epilepsy and several major bladder surgeries and allergies.

Nevertheless, I am full of life! My owner thinks I'm very sweet and says I'm a huge bon vivant! Fortunately, I have had many successful treatments through complementary care, naturopathy and bio-resonance. Despite everything, my owner thinks I'm extremely strong and she thinks I've developed further! I even grew a bit after a few years!

For my owner it was already normal to eat vegan. It is certainly fantastic that this can now be done every day for me! This wasn't such a crazy move at all. Because I've been eating vegetarian and organic fresh food since I was little. Now that I'm grown up, it turned out that when I got completely vegan food, I improved enormously and the allergies also decreased enormously, and even stayed away. Even after all treatment the epilepsy.

And even my eyes improved again!

The beautiful products that you can buy through Vegavriend help and are also handy. A real friend. Because I am not allowed, for example, a number of things such as grain or soy. Besides that you can also cook yourself! That's what boss does. Which I think is fun. See here, for example, the book Dog.Eat.Plant. What she finds super handy, she says, because such a book had never been encountered before, and luckily saw here that this is already happening and being used much more worldwide. It also becomes clear what supplements may be necessary for me, but I was already used to that! J And not only do you help your own friend(s), you help all animals with this! And that is the most beautiful thing!

It is a process that we become more aware of this together. We understand that.

This takes time and a lot of love. This is how we help each other in love. Our dear friends. Animal & Human.

Love and a big leg from Bobje & my Owner'

Naomi is playful and curious

'Naomi is fed vegan food, because we are all vegan. It is nice that it is not necessary to promote the meat industry with the food for our cat. We also fed our cats vegan food for Naomi, so it made sense to feed her that too.

We took Naomi out of a stray animal shelter six months ago. Then we got half a bag of food, so she could get used to our food. But she's an easy eater and she was actually able to make the switch very easily. She eats the chunks of Amy Cat en benevo Please. We couldn't tell a difference when she went vegan. Naomi is playful, energetic and curious. She often goes outside, but she also likes to lie on our lap.' — Noah Eekhout

My dog ​​is doing very well on the food of hownd† He also really likes the kibble and for the first time since I got him he chews on his kibble. He never did that before, not even with an anti-shock box.

I definitely notice a difference in his stools; it is finally continuous. He had to get used to the switch for a while, but now I don't want anything else. I am very satisfied. And Charlie loves the chunk!” † Wilhelmina

Jessy's itch is gone

'Jessy is very social with people and affectionate. Furthermore, he is nervous by nature, does not get along with other dogs and has the 'eye' which means that he keeps the focus on something and we can hardly get him out of it. Indoors and in the garden with play area he is great and loves to work. With border collies, it's important to keep them occupied, in addition to the rest they need. For example, if the weather is bad, you can play thinking games with them. Outside we train, we play and Jessy is also the best frisbee catcher of the two. We use the VeggiePet Sweet Potato training balls when training, he loves it! Furthermore, Jessy loves the Vegusto sausage.

At the end of January this year we started switching our border collies Jessy and Sacha to Vegan Dog Food. After ordering several test bags, the Greta chunks to be no. 1 with both. Sometimes I alternate with To me wet food, the Vegusto sausage and regular extra vegetables and fruit that are healthy and suitable for them.

Both had skin problems for years, Jessy worse than Sacha. That often started in April and lasted until October, terribly scratching and biting the fur, creating hotspots. Because we couldn't figure out where it came from, they were both given medication for the itching.

Since we started with Vegan Dog Food, all complaints have disappeared! No more itching, no more hot spots, no more medication needed. Really beyond expectations and we are so happy! Our vet is also fully behind it and would like to follow it, so she wants to do a blood check on both in September, but we expect that it will be very positive. (Update Oct 2021: The blood results are in order.)

Their coats look healthier, and their stools have never been as good and consistent as they have been since they started eating Vegan. And they love it!

We have a subscription which is very nice, and it is delivered perfectly every month. They also love the training sweets and chews, not too much of course, it was a bit of a search in the beginning for the balance because they gained some weight, but are now back to their ideal weight. 

We are very happy! And also to be able to contribute to the better welfare of all animals now in our family (the dogs are our children).' – Frans and Merlinde Swiers

Nova's coat is much better now

Nova eats vegan because I became a vegan myself 3 years ago. It didn't feel right after that to give meat. Nova has also had a congenital skin defect since she was 1,5 years old. 

We wanted to try and see if vegan food would help with her skin condition. First we switched to chunks, after which we could already abandon antibiotics. It was better, but not gone. For two months she has been eating self-composed food with Vegdog all inclusive velux en Vegeyeast. I now cook the 'complete basic meal' from the book Dog.Eat.Plant for her. Since then, her hair has become much thicker and has less flakes. She also no longer needs to be washed every week with a special shampoo.

Nova was always just a bit too heavy with chunks (also with the vegan chunks). With the fresh food she has a much nicer weight.

When Nova got meat she was a very picky eater, now she rarely leaves anything out. She eats even whole pieces of vegetables or legumes.” – Larisa

Otis has the energy of a young dog

Otis is a minpin mix of over 9 years old. We adopted him when he was 20 months old in February 2013. He was then in a shelter after being taken out of a bad situation with a number of other dogs by the Animal Protection Agency 6 weeks earlier.

Otis primarily eats vegan because we are also vegans ourselves. But also because I believe that a diet without animal suffering is also better for an animal. I first started reading about the vegan feeding of dogs. He's eating now Vegdog Green Crunch (always sliced ​​with a carrot) for breakfast and Senior wet food with extra vegetables and some additional supplements for dinner.

Fun fact about Otis, he only likes soft toys. He is also very careful with that. He has a real hug posse. His first toy he got from us (now 8 years ago), Rataplan the rat, he still has and is his best friend.

Otis is almost 10 years old, but he has the energy of a young dog and the jumping skills of a kangaroo.
He is always happy and very funny. ” -

“I am vegan myself (for the animals) and came into contact with VegaVriend and Lisette Kreischer. When I read and learned more about vegan dog food, this seemed like a logical step to me. Before Nera (a Romanian sweetheart) came to us, I already had the sample package from VegaVriend! We gave our previous Romanian sweetheart 'normal' dog food for 10 years. This is because you 'just' did this without thinking. (She passed away a year ago.) 

At this point, Nera is getting the little chunks of it Greta, her favorite wet food from Pauline and since I booked it Dog.Eat.Plant also have self-compounded food with a supplement.

Nera was not 'such an eater' it was said when we got her. I think she has always had to wait for her food, in the pack where she stayed at a shelter in Romania and before that too, when she spent an indefinite period of time chained on someone's land.

In the beginning I was happy when she ate something. I tried everything. But when I started giving her vegetable wet food, her appetite changed! We tried out all the cans and Pauline's wet food turned out to be her favorite!

I was looking forward to the Dog.Eat.Plant book with great heart. I couldn't wait to start cooking for her myself. This with the necessary substantiated knowledge of course! I made sure I had the supplements at home. The first meal I made for her was a great success! She almost licked the bottom of her tank!

Now, when I am cooking in the evening, Nera gets all restless with joy because she is now eating with us!

A home prepared meal or an occasional can. And in between she still likes to eat her kibble! Because now she's a happy eater!

As a supplement:
I never thought that giving your pet animal-free, plant-based food, could bring you so much joy! Knowing that no other animals have suffered for this, knowing that it is super healthy and balanced nutrition, invented and made by people who have the good for all animals in their minds. It gives you a feeling of gratitude! And this has deepened my bond with Nera even deeper. This because I am really aware of what I give her, and because I really choose or make this with love for her (and all other animals).

Deli loves carrot

”Deli has been living with us since mid-November and I switched her to vegan food from that moment on. I soon noticed that she really likes to eat vegetables, because she always likes to eat carrots and she also likes to eat cucumber and broccoli. She likes to eat kibble much less. I've given her all kinds of vegan kibble for small dogs, but she doesn't like to take them as much as vegetables. So I went to see if she likes it when I try a recipe from the book Dog.Eat.Plant make for her. It contains a recipe that contains her favorite vegetables: Rani's Lentil and Seitan stew. Deli loves it! She licks the bowl completely empty every time. Sometimes she also gets wet food To me of benevo when I'm not cooking myself. She also likes to eat that, especially benevo she likes it.

I enjoy cooking vegan for her. That way I know exactly what she's ingesting and I know no other animals have suffered for it. With the added supplement (V-Complete) it also has a nice smell. She really enjoys it, so a win win for everyone!'- Melissa

Wolfje's stomach problems are almost gone

'Wolfje had recurring stomach problems with all meats; fresh, processed, or processed into chunks. He now eats vegan and he is doing well on that. I like that he is doing well because I thought that would not be good for my dog. I usually eat vegan myself.

Wolf now mainly receives self-composed food, with the occasional few water-soaked chunks of Lukullus veggie. 

Wolfje has a very sensitive gastrointestinal system and ultimately does not tolerate any animal protein. Now that he is fed vegan food, the pain and pain have largely disappeared. It's not completely gone yet; CBD oil from De Groene Os also gives him relief. And I'm still looking for an even more pleasant life.

About composing yourself; 
- nice that there are good ones supplements 
-I prefer not to give him soy products as a protein source. I prefer to use red lentils or split peas, or other pureed varieties.
- In the book Verrot Lekker by Christian Weij and in Fermenteren, step by step by Adam Eland I found recipes to (partly) ferment them; they are easier to digest and the nutritional value is greater! A must for humans and animals! ' -

Pixel has been eating vegan for over 8 years

'My animals have always had a balanced vegetarian diet and since we learned that the dairy industry is just as big (or even worse) for the animals there and eating dairy and eggs is just as unhealthy as meat, it was normal for us. that we also let our own dogs evolve with it.   

I vary a lot and mix the dry food together, but the favorites are the canned food Ami Dog (the yellow one) , the chunks of Greta (wheat-free corn and soy-free) and the chunks of Forza10 bio (I also take these on long walks as sweets). - Chantal

Tyson's coat has become so much more beautiful

Tyson is now almost 12 years old and still a happy, energetic dog. I think this is largely due to his diet, which has improved a lot since he started eating plant-based. Tyson is fed vegan for ethical reasons. He is currently getting food from the brand yarrah

Tyson used to suffer from a coat with hard, wiry hair and now his coat shines and feels soft. He also no longer has stomach problems and no diarrhea since he does not receive 'meat' with by-products. Now that I also know what's in animal dog food, I am only happy that it responds well to vegan food. Tyson loves vegetables and I regularly give him fresh vegetables and herbs with his meal. I would never have dared to hope this 8 years ago.  

Tyson's coat has become so much more beautiful, but he also no longer vomits at every exhaust round and he stays off grass. According to me and according to the vet he is a lot healthier now. ” -  Natascha

Modest prefers to eat vegan food

'Modest eats vegan, because I eat plant-based food and I wanted to try to get our dogs to eat plant-based food as well. I had heard quite a few pros and cons until I did some research on it myself. This week I had their first blood test and everything was fine.

Modest is now eating V-dog Flakes. He really loves it! I let the vegetable chunks soak in warm water for a while and he loves it. This way he also gets some extra water, because in general he drinks very little water during the day.

In terms of energy level, he is still just as playful and fit as before. I do notice that Basile and Modest prefer these chunks much more than their chunks with meat. I had to stand next to the chunks with meat so that they neatly emptied their bowl. I don't have to do that anymore, because when their own bowl is empty they go together to see if there is any leftovers in it. - Melanie Schaekers

Bo's coat has become more shiny

“Bo comes from Spain and as a 2-year-old street dog ended up in a shelter there, where he remained for about five years. We adopted him via Moving Animals in March 2020. 

Bo gets vegan food, because we follow a vegan lifestyle as much as possible. He is currently getting VegDog Green Crunch. We started with one starter pack to see what he likes, but he ate everything without any problems. His coat has started to shine and look better. ' - Winnie Baker

Pili is fit and playful

Pili is named after Pilar, a Spanish woman's name meaning “pillar of strength”. Pili has been tied to a stake for a year by people who used to bully her, but her character is stronger. She was eventually taken from there by a friend of mine who couldn't handle her, and that's how she ended up with me. 

Pili is fed vegan because I adopted her to save her from a hopeless situation and I couldn't accept that other animals now have to “live” and die for her in hopeless situations. She currently gets twice a day V-Dog Flakes en Ami Dog chunks and in between I give a lot of varied food, such as beans, vegetables and fruit. The dogs like to eat just about anything, and because the four of us live vegan mainly on discarded fruit and vegetables and a minimal budget, they eat very varied and fresh daily. Their breath never stinks, their excrement composts very quickly.

I live with the dogs (Pili, Lente and Wodan) in a forest so they have a lot of exercise, good air, always fresh groundwater from the well in a bath, and have had to stop hunting. They are lean, but quite muscular and have a lot of energy. They are very fit and playful, and very large and quirky. They have all flowered very well here, with a lot of patience and some scars here and there. ' - Samuel Coppens

Spring is full of energy

“I adopted Spring and Wodan 2,5 years ago and they have been fed vegan food ever since. Spring is named after the season, because her bright, hopeful look made my winter depression disappear the second time I saw her at the shelter. In the meantime, it has revived more people. She is very lively, but also very gentle in handling.

Wotan lives in the forest

“I adopted Wodan and Lente 2,5 years ago and they have been fed vegan food ever since. Wotan is named after the god of wisdom and struggle: Odin. He would most likely have been sentenced to death in the shelter for “unrepentant biting”, but I was allowed to approach him, and although it left me with some scars during the first few months, I immediately had a tremendous amount of awe for him.

Jos shines when he walks in the sun

Jos is an adopted dog from Bulgaria and together with Léonie makes our lives so much richer. Already with his super sweet and
very dedicated foster family he got vegan dog food. Despite his background, he is a super soft cuddly ass who loves lounging on the couch as much as he likes long walks in the woods or on the beach, then he seems tireless.
He also likes to stay with his “bomma” and bompa ”where he is pampered with Léonie. Joske is a sweetheart.

Joske eats vegan, because we ourselves have been convinced vegan for 5 years and had a very difficult time with the animal nutrition of our 6 cats and 2 dogs. It didn't make sense. We switched the dogs first and later the cats. The cats were mainly fed fish-based food, but with the knowledge of the animal suffering that was no longer an option. Rick Scholtes' expertise helped us make the decision. 

Jos now gets Ami Dog chunks en Amy Dog wet food Red and Yellow. Occasionally Benevo Duo wet food which is slightly moistened with water.

We first gave the test bags for the dry kibble and there was the most enthusiastic response to Ami Dog. Amidog wet food is also a big favorite with both of our dogs. They still go crazy at every measure when I bring out the kibble and cans. I usually mix a small portion of kibble with a small portion of wet food, 3 times a day. For a change, I sometimes soak the chunks in boiled water with a very small amount of unsalted vegetable stock, with or without boiled vegetables, and then let it cool down. Jos's coat showed chapped and bald spots, but these have now disappeared. He shines when he walks in the sun. In terms of weight, he gained a lot of weight, but that was not so bad in the beginning. Now we make sure that he does not exceed the recommended amounts and his weight remains stable. Joske is a happy, healthy and energetic vegan dog. ” - Inez

The only noticeable difference was a little weight loss but that has stabilized. Furthermore, all cats are in good condition, with a healthy coat and enough energy. ” - Inez

Hansi was adopted together with Trudi but they are not from the same litter. Hansi is a handsome, large, slender tomcat, but of a timid nature. He does not like visitors and hustle and bustle in the house. His permanent hiding place is under the kitchen cupboards and he even removes the cupboard plinth for that… His great idol is our other tomcat Knäuli. Hansi mainly eats dry chunks of Ami Cat. He is the only one of our 6 cats who often misses the wet food. He is a healthy vegan handsome.

Léonie is an adopted French Bulldog, very sweet but with instructions for use. Together with Joske she brings love and pleasure into our lives. She really likes to eat her vegan food and you notice that in her funny joyful dances which she herself accompanies with singing, as soon as she realizes that I am preparing everything ... And woe to the cats that come near ... Léonieke is a crazy, sweet, sometimes naughty but happy and healthy vegan cuddly dog. Most of all, she likes to take beach walks. Léonieke is a sweetheart.

Food allergies are a major problem for many French bulls. We don't notice any of this at Léonie. If she has problems with her intestines or stomach, it is always due to something that she has secretly eaten somewhere (such as cat poop, for example…). Her skin and coat are in good condition, just like she is. ” - Inez

Sapphire eats vegan because I think it's healthier. There are no growth hormones and antibiotics in the kibble and there is no animal suffering behind vegan food.

Saar, the young vegan

Saar is our first dog. I myself eat vegan and I also strive for an existence as vegan as possible. The choice whether or not to get a dog was a long question…. In the end we went for our Saar. Then you come across information about nutrition. Dogs are descended from wolves, and wolves eat meat. Feeding meat didn't feel okay to me. If it really should for Saar; okay, but i continued looking. I follow Lisette Kreischer via Instagram and Facebook and I also met her personally and I thought: 'I will ask her'. She had sent me a nice story that made me stronger in my choice. I also made contact with VegaVriend and they also had a good and beautiful story about vegan dog food. With this information and by following my heart I dared to. In addition to the Benevo puppy kibble she currently also receives the reward cookies from Baby Latta Mix. A party for Saar and for me too! No smelly meat hands, but a nice vanilla scent. She now gets a lot of reward cookies, but we usually break the cookies into 5 pieces. So we use it for a long time.

From my environment I regularly get the comment: "It must be expensive!" Yes and no. If you get food in a cheap supermarket… Yes, we will lose more. When you buy a more expensive type of chunks, the price is not more expensive. You want your dog to be strong and healthy, don't you? The reward cookies are also inexpensive. 900 grams for 4,75 euros. Just go to a pet store and buy a tray of treat cookies there. A jar of 300 grams costs 3,55 euros! Then vegan is not more expensive!

Extra addition:
At VegaVriend I have noticed that you can always email. They think along and give advice where necessary. The orders we have placed are neatly shipped and have always received a snack as a gift. For example, we introduced Saar to the vegan pig ear and chew sticks. Everything we order (which of course is new for us and for Saar) is eaten with great pleasure. Although my environment does not advise raising the dog vegan, I am happy with VegaVriend and I do not want to switch to meat…. ” -

Quinty wants vegan food, not meat food

“Quinty gets vegan food, because we also eat and live vegan ourselves. As a result, we could no longer afford to feed our dogs dead animals, which often come from the livestock industry that we are so opposed to.

Quinty ate first V-Dog Crunchy Nuggets, but that turned on something. Or we gave too much. Now we have her on Amì Dog and that works very well. 

She has always been a very headstrong eater. It took a long time to find a (meat) food that she wanted to eat. She does not have this 'problem' with the vegan food and that is very surprising. We use trial bags they do as trainers and there is no species they do not like. ” - Cindy Pitstra

At the moment he gets a mixture of Amy Catbenevo and Evolution Gourmet Fondue. Dobby only gets the kibble, the wet food is not his thing. He is very fond of the kibble. The first time I gave him some to taste, they couldn't run out fast enough. 

He now eats more, as it is getting colder, but he is super energetic with that food! Before that, because that is its nature, but digestion is smoother. ”  - Birgit

Spock, a picky eater

Spock eats vegan because our family is vegan and we don't want to support the terrible animal industry through the cat food.

Spock came to us as a kitten more than three years ago at the same time as his “half sister” Chopin from another litter. He is very affectionate, a sloth and loves to eat and sleep. From the beginning he was very picky with his food and he did not like homemade vegan wet food and the other brands of vegan wet food were also not appreciated. However, he is always very fond of dry food Amì Cat of benevo held and therefore gained too much weight. Fortunately, we have now discovered Evolution wet food, which he loves. By planning meals better and by exercising more, he now has a top weight again. But every morning he is still standing next to our bed shouting if he wants food or just attention. Like Chopin, he has a beautiful shiny coat and is very healthy. ”

Chopin's coat is shiny and soft

Chopin eats vegan, because our family is vegan, so we didn't want to support the terrible animal industry through the cat food. Chopin has been part of our family for over three years. She came to us as a kitten, together with her “half brother” Spock, who came from another litter. At that time our old male Acda was still alive, who had been getting the kibble for several years Ami Cat and homemade vegan wet food. For example, the “normal” kitten food quickly became less interesting and it was easy to switch.

Today Chopin eats Benevo chunks, Evolution Gourmet Fondue Cat Kibble and Evolution wet food. We tested several brands before we found the ideal food that really appealed to us. Finding tasty kibble was not that difficult, wet food was. Because Benevo duet en vegetarian food weren't favorites. Homemade wet food with eg chickpeas and rice and the necessary supplements was the solution for a while, but now the Evolution wet food is the winner. Too bad there are so few vegan snacks for cats! 

Chopin is a real cuddly cat. She likes to crawl in everything and also sleeps under the covers in our bed at night. She is also very active and especially likes to catch "dangerous" spiders, mosquitoes and other insects. She loves being brushed and her coat is also wonderfully shiny and soft. 

Our cats are both perfectly healthy and have a nice shiny coat. We regularly receive compliments from visitors and also the vet. We are very happy! ”

Gaston now has a good bowel movement

“Gaston is fed vegan food, because I am a vegan myself and after a lot of research and comparing food, I have discovered that vegan dog food can be a complete food that contains everything dogs need. Healthy pets without having to let other animals suffer as well as a smaller ecological footprint make it logical for me to make the decision.

Gaston was adopted 8 months ago. He was very thin because he had experienced a lot of stress in the past and is therefore very anxious and nervous. He often suffered from diarrhea. Once Gaston joined the pack, we gradually transitioned him to vegetable chunks. He immediately ate them with full flavor. His coat shines beautifully, his bowel movements are regular and regular and his weight no longer fluctuates. A happy dog ​​in his new vegan family.

My dogs are currently being fed dry food from Yarrah and Green Petfood. My experience with the vegetable food is a beautiful shiny coat, dogs that maintain their weight, energetic, less intestinal complaints (not even diarrhea at menopause). 

In terms of price, I certainly don't pay more than if I bought animal chunks and snacks. I am very satisfied with my choice and hope that in the future there will be even more awareness about veganism in dogs and that it is certainly not unhealthy. At the moment there is still too much the idea that dogs are pure carnivores and that they would be short of anything on vegan food. My four-legged friends are living proof that this is certainly not the case. ” - Lindsey van den Eynde

Frits also maintains his weight nicely with these chunks, even after his castration last year.

Joe is doing well on V-dog

"I am vegan myself. What convinced me about vegan dog food are experts on social media, such as Instagram and Youtube. What makes me permanent with vegan dog food is that she does it so well; she has a shiny coat and is perfectly weighted and has a fresh breath. The faeces can be cleaned up well. Joe gets chunks of it V-Dog. She visibly enjoys her food and I also notice that she eats it differently. She used to be very shocked before she ate vegan, but now she tastes more and takes longer to eat it.- Eve

Toby is very sporty

Toby is fed vegan food for ethical reasons. Toby also got diarrhea easily with animal food, the vet thought it was not a bad idea and so the choice was quickly made. He is getting at the moment Greta chunks and Ami Dog wet food (all four flavors). 

Toby is doing very well on his diet, he is an energetic dog and that is why we run a lot together. While running, he wears a special pull harness that is attached to my hip belt with an elastic line. Running in this way with your dog is also called Canicross / Canitrail, the dog may also pull. We run an average of 20-40km a week and our longest trail so far was 17km. We walk a lot less in the summer, of course, because it is often too hot for him. But we are already looking forward to the start of the season in September! ” - Marcella

Bowie loves Amì

“Bowie gets vegan food because I can't afford to buy meat, because I think meat or animal food with meat stinks and because I don't want to contribute in any way to the meat industry. You have influence when you spend money. When the industry does not receive funding in any way, they are forced to change direction. So I feed Bowie vegan food for emotional, rational and practical reasons. 

Bowie has both Amì Cat as a benevo had. But mainly Amì Cat. She loves it! She always comes to ask when it's dinner time. It does her good too. When I got her she was still overweight but Amì put her on a healthy weight. Her coat also looks healthy, full and shiny. She has little to no hairballs or hair loss. Recently I also tried some canned food. She got very excited about it Benevo duet. ” - Sabine Zwanink

Mara has been eating vegan for over 8 years

Mara has been eating vegan for over 8 years. Eight years ago she came to the Netherlands from Spain. I immediately switched her to vegan food (Yarrah en Amy Dog). That went well immediately. I don't know what kind of food she had at the shelter in Spain, but I noticed from the start that everything tasted and she's doing fine on it. I never felt like anything was missing.

I myself have been a vegan for 16 years, so it was obvious to me that no animal has to suffer for human needs. When I started taking care of Mara, I naturally studied the possibilities of giving animal-free - vegan - food. It was possible. I also knew others who did this and had good experiences. Why would you have animals killed for the food of an animal you provide if it is not necessary? In short; it just makes sense to give vegan food. Reactions about vegan feeding of 'pets' often say that it is not natural, but what is 'natural' at all about a well-bred dog that is physiologically very different from its ancestor, the wolf. For every animal it is about nutrients. And with vegan food you can get the nutritional fulfill the needs of the dog and not cooperate with the industry that exploits animals structurally. Then why wouldn't you? 

Currently Mara is a fan of V dog crunchy nuggets. I often order it in combination with Greta, which she also likes very much. I used to teach Yarrah and Ami Dog. Sometimes she still gets it. Wet food gets it from Yarrah or Amidog. Mara is not that picky;) ”- Alex Roman

Esmée shines in her skin

Esmeetje has been with us for over a month now and she came from a home where she got raw meat. We really did not like that, but to continue with her dry granules did not really seem appropriate to convince her of a vegan lifestyle :-). So now all three (including Charlot and Momo) get a can of wet food on top of the Yarrah dry food. benevo or in VegDog (Esmée loves that). From day two, Esmée was already sold and she really eats it with taste. 

A few days ago, the people who took care of her relocation came by and they couldn't believe how Esmée's coat had changed. They kept petting her because she had become so soft. They said she 'shined in her skin' 🙂

That made us very proud and we secretly hope again that this is partly due to her nutrition… ” - Vanessa and Heiko

Momo likes all snacks

“We have only noticed the benefits of vegan food so far. With every dog ​​(see also Charlotje and Esmee) we switched to the Yarrah kibble immediately after the adoption and they tolerate it well, the bowel movements are normal. They do have a little more stool. They love to eat the vegan food, especially in combination with wet food, soy yogurt and nutritional yeast flakes.

Momo had a stomach problem and reflux when he got to us. Was very bad in the beginning but after a few weeks Yarrah we can say that we have this under control and he feels a lot better.

Momo gets vegan food, among other things, because we had a good experience with our former English bulldog: Ebony. When Ebony was nine years old (and didn't eat vegan yet), she was gone. She had a lot of joint problems and little energy. We then switched to the vegan kibble from Yarrah and we got a new dog! She felt very good and went everywhere again. Ebony turned 12 and has remained active to the last. We are therefore very satisfied with a vegan diet for the dog. ” - Vanessa and Heiko

Charlotje has been strengthened with vegetarian food

Charlotje was adopted by us in 2018 and since she has been with us, she has been eating vegan. We are also vegan ourselves and do not think you can save one animal and then kill another animal to feed your own 'rescued' animal. That's why Charlotje now gets the dry food from Yarrah in combination with canned food, usually Benevo Duo en Ami Dog green. She also receives Alpro soy mild & creamy and nutritional yeast flakes.

When Charlotje first came to us, she was very thin. We immediately gave her the vegetarian chunks and in the meantime she has already gained a few kilos. She is very active and running is really in her blood. She is very cheerful and really pulls the other two (Momo and Esmée) along to be more active.

What we also noticed, when she first came to us, is that she had a growth under her armpit and her teeth showed a lot of plaque. We went to the vet for that and he suggested to anesthetize her to clean her teeth and use the anesthetic to remove the tumor. What seems? Since she's been with us, her teeth have become much whiter and cleaner and believe it or not, the growth has completely disappeared! We can only attribute this to her diet? The vet has no explanation but I am really convinced that nutrition has played a role.

She is very grateful when she gets a little extra and can really enjoy the chew sticks from soopa, these with banana and peanut butter are her favorite. Unlike Momo, this is really pure chewing pleasure for her and she lasts a long time with the stick. Nice to see!'' - Vanessa and Heiko

Yena, switched at a late age

“Yena is currently receiving the Ultra Sensitive chunks from Yarrah, because I have the belief that I want to contribute as little as possible to animal suffering.

Yena used to always receive 'normal' animal feed (ie dry chunks and fresh meat). However, I myself have been a vegetarian for over 12 years and since the summer of 2018 also vegan, on principle because I do not support the animal suffering caused by the bio-industry and not through financial support, by buying animal products, in wish to hold out. The switch to vegan was partly due to a relationship with a convinced vegan and she also provided me with the necessary information about the dog as an omnivore. That perspective made me decide to switch to vegan feed for Yena as well, simply because this also means less animal suffering in the world. The switch went without problems, she likes to eat the food and it is also good for her. Healthy shiny coat, still vital, in short: a happy healthy doggy. Even in their old age, dogs clearly appreciate healthy and ethically responsible food! ” - Erwin de Ryke

Pooh eats home-cooked meals

Currently Pooh Eet eats homemade vegan organic food, including homemade cookies + addition of V-completeVegeyeast and while traveling Evolution (wet food).

"mr. Pooh.

We've been through so much together. It's been around since my 2nd book (and shines in almost all ;-)). When we enter a place, people often first look at him and then look up. He gets all the attention and my heart sings when that happens.

He is about 12,5 years old. We don't really know for sure. Nobody knew where he came from or what he had been through. About 10 years ago I entered a room where he was staying. There were many dogs, but no Pooh. We had to find him. In the end he was hidden behind the pot stove. I saw a little frightened creature with some scratches here and there. He looked up at me with his big brown eyes and there it was, that feeling that I knew that we would continue our life's path side by side, that I would take care of him and love him.

Since I had been vegan for many years, I decided to feed Pooh with vegan food. Purely intuitive. I hadn't done any research at the time. I gave him organic Yarrah vegan chunks. Because that's what I could find then. But Pooh's shivering got worse and over the years I tried to relax him with herbs, tried everything, visited various vets (with no results) until after about 7 years I ended up with a naturopath. He told me Pooh needed raw meat. I was so insecure and afraid that Pooh would fall short that I decided to take his advice. Maybe it wasn't so natural to feed a dog vegan, I thought. Pooh loved the meat, my heart cried. At one point Pooh developed all sorts of skin conditions and his bowel movements turned into a frequent bout of diarrhea. It didn't sit well with me. I did another round of vets, but no one could find anything. Until at one point I read a story about a sanctuary that had just saved a number of goats from slaughter. Beautiful, soulful goats that would probably end up as dog food. Pooh's food. That was that. I cried, looked at Pooh and told him we would explore together, find the best vegan food for him, and that would nourish and heal him properly. I dived into the books, the research and guess what; the years had caught up with me. Vegan food for dogs was good and not only that, it also seemed to be medicine for many. I didn't need more. I went into the kitchen and started developing recipes. A number of wonderfully balanced organic compositions came out that he has been enjoying for a long time now. His ailments disappeared like snow in the sun, as did his shivers. Was it the intention all along that I would just cook for him? It makes sense. I am deeply sorry that I fed Pooh raw meat for 1,5 years. I have learned from it, will never do it again and my confidence and belief in plants as food and medicine for humans and dogs has grown even deeper thanks to this school. ” - Lisette Kreischer

Tinka, the beautiful curly hair

Tinka, my curly hair, eats Greta chunks and does very well on it. She is very sweet, very healthy and looks beautiful. When I first visited this website, I was amazed at the vegan dog food on offer. 

Both Tinka and Fico like almost everything and prefer to eat their snack outside on the grass. I recently brought the dogs to the vet for a dental check-up and it all looked fine, very little tartar. I also get a good message from the groomer: She still thinks my dogs coat is the same.

Vegan food works wonders for Fico

“Fico eats vegan, because I myself (after having first eaten vegetarian for 30 years) have been eating vegan for 18 years now and I increasingly opposed feeding meat to the dogs. 

Our previous dogs were vegetarian, but Fico remained skinny with everything we fed. At the time, I eventually started feeding Fico fresh meat that brought him to a normal weight. However, I had more and more trouble with all that meat. When I heard about vegan dog food, I went to Rick Scholtes' lecture and that gave me the final push. I then brought all kinds of test bags to see if Fico and Tinka liked it. They both liked everything. With my vet (who is very much in favor of feeding fresh meat, but who understood my aversion to it), I looked at the food on this website and she said, "It's all in there, fine." The changeover went smoothly. 

Fico is currently eating the chunks of it Greta, wet food from To me en yarrah, fresh vegetables and all kinds of vegan nibbles.

Fico had osteoarthritis in his front leg at a very young age. He regularly got trauma or Chinese herbs for this when he was very limping again. Then the question was always: "Can he go for a walk?"

The vegan diet works wonders. Since he gets that, I've only given him trauma once and he could always go for a walk. When he gets out of his basket, he sometimes limps a little bit, but much less than a year and a half ago, before he started eating vegan.

Fico keeps his weight nicely, given the past I was afraid that he would become skinny again. Tinka is also doing very well on the Greta chunks. We often get compliments for both dogs for looking so good.

I can feed my dogs guilt-free and with pleasure again!

My joint pain also disappeared when I started eating vegan 18 years ago, but to see such a huge improvement in my dog ​​now is really fantastic. ”- Helen Jonker

Written on 25/3/2019

Update 2-10-2019:
“Fico is doing so well, he will turn 12 in a month! He will never limp again, even if he has walked or been lying for a while! Amazing when you consider how young he already had severe osteoarthritis in his front leg and how often he suffered from it. Until he started eating vegan 2 years ago!

I am so happy that we switched. Now I can feed them without feeling guilty. And they love everything. ”

Poet loves Vegusto

My cat likes vegan food from the start. He scraps his food away and he likes wet food even better. When I first gave him chunks of fish, Poet was very thin, his faeces turned orange and I was not happy with all the chemical junk he ingested. When I switched to vegan kibble, Poet became a lot healthier; his poo had returned to its normal color, his fur softened and began to shine and he gained a kilo. He gets a mix of it Ami Cat en benevo chunks.

Months later, he is still doing very well! Never again have animals to be slaughtered for my boy. 

I recommend everyone who is interested in vegan pet food and / or wants to start feeding their pet vegan to do their own research first. Make sure you know what food you have to give your animal to get the right substances and do not just experiment. Talk to other people who have vegan pets and see how they do (the Facebook group “Vegan Pets” is a good place for this.) ”- Elisa Werthenbach

Savannah chews her kibble well

Savannah lived the first period of her life on the streets in Southern Europe, just like many other cats and dogs there. Life there is anything but pleasant for stray animals. The same goes for the animals in the livestock industry. I want Savannah to have a better life and I want that to all animals.

The young lady now gets a mix of Ami Cat and Benevo cat food, which she eats with taste. Madam loves to eat, but when she has had enough she stops and starts lounging or playing. Savannah ate the same kibble mix before she came to me, so I cannot compare that with other food. My previous cats did not eat vegan kibble and I did notice that they had less appetite from time to time or were sometimes too greedy and then outbreaked the excess. They preferred to swallow the kibble whole when given the chance. At Savannah I notice more rest during the meal and she chews it well, even though the kibble is small.

She is a happy and content cat and often, as now, she comes to sit or lie down with me. Visitors love her without exception. Savannah loves to lounge around, but also likes to be active. Everything that rustles or moves has her interest and then she runs and jumps that it is sweet pleasure. Her favorite toy? The laces of my vegetarian boots! ” - Annemieke

Crosby in excellent condition with Yarrah vega

Crosby has been on vegan food for about a year now. The owner of Lulu drew my attention to it. Our Crosby actually eats all the food we serve him, he is an easy eater. We had him neutered a year and a half ago and our concern was: 'Would he not get too fat and his coat would not suffer after a castration?'. Indeed, he did gain weight and his fur began to tangle. Now, after a year yarrah he has lost 4 kilos, his coat is beautiful and shiny again and his condition is excellent. ” - Yontie Helders

“For us it was a logical step to feed Pepper vegan, because I started living a vegan lifestyle myself. When we started with vegan kibble, Pepper fell off. That was nice in the beginning, a few kilos less, but she quickly became thinner very quickly. She then got Yarrah vega (the old chunk) and after advice via Facebook we switched to Edgar (now Greta). It went much better on this food and she also gained a nice healthy and stable weight. We are very satisfied and Pepper likes her kibble very much! ” - Miranda de Velde Harsenhorst

Snoopy has been eating vegan for over 13 years

“Vegan food was already available 13 years ago, but much less available than today. I had thought to slowly switch from the food that we received from the shelter to the vegan food. However, Snoopy liked the vegan food much better, so we switched to the vegan food immediately after 1 day. She hasn't eaten anything else since. Currently she is getting a mix of Amy CatBenevo cat and Evolution (chunks). Every now and then she gets some wet food vegetarian food or Evolution.

My vet does an annual age check nowadays. For this, some blood is always taken and the urine is examined. For the time being she is doing well. We are starting to notice that she is getting older. In her case that means that she has become a bit cozier (wants more attention from us) and she hardly goes outside in the winter. Instead, she is lying on our bed enjoying the sun or sitting with her boss who often works at home. ”  - Rick Scholtes

Teddy loves the Vegusto sausage!

Teddy is from Spain. He didn't have such a nice start there, but nowadays he enjoys life to the full. He likes nothing better than to run: next to the bike, through the woods or on the beach. He's also a big believer in cuddling: after a long walk, he loves to lie on the couch together and be petted.

Teddy was already fed vegan kibble before he came to us. He is a fairly picky eater: he does not eat 'people food', but likes most of the kibble (such as the chunks of Amì Dog small size of Greta small size). As a snack he prefers the Vegusto Vegi-Dog maxi sausage, but he likes the pawtato mace also very tasty. ” - Rick Scholtes

Rani likes many types of food, such as the chunks of Benevo (both original as a biological), Greta en yarrah. She is especially fond of wet food, such as Benevo duet en Yarrah canned food.

She had some 'start-up problems' in the beginning that upset her stomach. After some special food from the vet it all worked out and she was always fed vegan food.

She gets vegan food, because I don't want other animals to suffer for her. At the moment she gets a mix of it Amy CatBenevo cat en Evolution (chunks). Every now and then she gets some wet food vegetarian food or Evolution.

My vet now performs an annual age check. For this, some blood is always taken and the urine is examined. So far the results of these studies have been excellent. Hannah is doing fine and she eats her tasty treats every day. ” - Rick Scholtes

Vegan food is a godsend for Jip

Jip is getting VeggieDog at the moment. Previously he had Fitness Trainer 3 but he started vomiting if there was too long between meals, especially at night. The chunks of Fit pressed he gets as a snack. 

Since Jip is 6 months old, he has a lot of allergy complaints. It was quite a quest to find out what for. He appears to have an allergy to dust mites and brok mites, but also food allergies. After elimination with different animal species, it turned out that he reacts allergic to any animal protein if he is given it for a longer period of time. It went reasonably well on vet chunks, but I still wanted to try vegetarian chunks. We also eat vegetarian food, so we also liked the idea. I discussed with our super nice vet whether this was a good idea and whether he would not be short of anything. She checked the ingredients and thought it was a good idea. Jip is doing great and has far fewer complaints. The vet is so enthusiastic that she has recommended it to more dogs with allergies.

The nice thing is that Jip also seems to love fruit and vegetables. He thinks the chunks are super tasty and all the vegetarian snacks too. In fact, he doesn't seem to have any interest in meat at all. Where he used to fish a carcass in nature, he now comes with banana peels.

I see a lot of other dogs for my work and they also like the veggie chunks and snacks. ” - Willemien

Lulu is no longer itchy

“Lulu comes from the shelter and had problems with her skin when we got her, she scratched herself a lot and also had bald spots. The vet warned that this probably wouldn't go away. I once read that yarrah has been making vegetable chunks for animals that suffer from their skin for a long time, so we tried that. It's fine, Lulu no longer has itching and a good coat. 

Lulu likes to eat varied, so we often add some of our own meal to the kibble so that she has something different every day.

When we have dogs visiting, we always enjoy eating. I have not yet met a dog that is not enthusiastic. Several acquaintances from the park have switched to vegetable chunks because they know Lulu ”- jacqueline
