“Anton is an one-and-a-half-year-old wire-haired dachshund. He suffered greatly while searching for the right food, and vegan food has helped him significantly improve his life.

Anton had severe wounds and rashes due to food allergies. After every meal, he would start biting himself, causing pain and itching. Every evening, I saw him chewing his tail, scratching himself, and squealing in pain. We made countless visits to the vet, but unfortunately, they couldn’t really help us. It was only after careful observation that we realized Anton displayed this behavior whenever he ate animal proteins.

After more than six months of research and experimentation, we confirmed that Anton is indeed allergic to animal proteins. We switched him to a plant-based diet, and it truly made a world of difference. Finding plant-based kibble wasn’t too difficult, but finding suitable snacks was quite a challenge, especially since Anton is also sensitive to grains, wheat, and gluten. Fortunately, we discovered VegaVriend, which offers plenty of snack options, and that has truly changed Anton’s life. He now enjoys delicious treats without us worrying about allergic reactions.

His favorite is banana—anything banana. The banana slices from VeggiePet are his favorite, and he even picks out the bananas from his new snack, Garden Bites Fruity Friends. During walks and training, we use the Eco Veggie Berry mix, and the dried papaya from Soopa Chew works really well when we return from a long walk!

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

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