I raised my dog vegan and was feeding her the Wysong Vegan. Further research and I discovered that NOT ALL THE INGREDIENTS IN THIS PRODUCT ARE VEGAN. I forget the specifics, but I think the D3 comes from fish. When I contacted the company, at times I was given the runaround but then, incredulously, I found out that they had patented the name "Vegan" and were not actually claiming that the product was vegan! This is exactly the same as patenting the name "100% Beef Burger" for a burger that is 50% beef and 50% chicken feathers. I found this completely unethical and was able, after some work, to return the multiple bags of product I had purchased.
I use VegeDog powder that you add to your own home-prepared meals for your best friend. Another possible alternative that I use with my dog is Petguard Organic Vegetarian, which is NOT 100% vegan (it contains organic dried eggs) but is 95% organic, which I think is great, as who wants to overload your dog with pesticides? Evolution seemed okay but then I found random pieces of "other" kibble in the bag and was told that they share facilities and can't guarantee there's no other dog food in their product. I've tried Natural Balance Vegetarian Formula but that didn't work too well for her. I just received Halo Vegan Garden Medley and haven't tried it yet. Canned food is much more expensive but my girl really likes Petguard Organics Organic Vegetarian Entree which IS vegan. There was one good vegan canned dog food but it was about $3.29 a can and I wasn't sure I was ready to spend $200 a month on dog food when I can probably prepare it myself cheaper. I question feeding not only our dogs but ourselves GMO foods and corn and soy are the top offenders here. I just ordered a kibble called V-Dog to try that says they are vegan and don't have GMOs, corn or soy.
