Can my dog eat 100% plant-based?

Plant-based dog foods are becoming increasingly popular, but there are still many questions about the health of dogs on a plant-based diet. At PAWR we have developed complete plant-based dog foods that contain all the nutrients a dog needs. In this blog we discuss one of the most frequently asked questions: Can a dog eat 100% plant-based?

Plant-based dog food: healthy and hypoallergenic

As a veterinarian and nutritionist with 15 years of experience, we know that plant-based dog food is nothing new. It has been used for years as a hypoallergenic food with positive results by experts. The vegetable proteins make the food allergy-friendly and easy to digest. Many dogs must therefore be fed a plant-based diet in order to feel healthy and happy and not experience any discomfort.

Nutrients are more important than ingredients

Making good food is about the nutrients, not the ingredients. Plant-based ingredients can provide all the nutrients a dog needs. All our foods are carefully composed by veterinarians and nutritionists according to the guidelines of the European FEDIAF.

The reason why dogs can get all their nutrients from a plant-based diet is because they have been living with humans for decades. During thisFor thousands of years, dogs have come to eat plant-based foods, as they were originally fed leftovers from the pot. The digestive system has been adapted as a result of which honden have produced enzymes in the body that ensure that plant ingredients are properly absorbed and that they receive all the nutrients they need.

Plant-based nutrition as a solution for food allergies and sensitive intestines

Plant food is also often given advice for dogs with food allergies or sensitive intestines, because vegetable proteins are easier to digest than animal proteins. At PAWR we know which ingredients are good for the health of the dog and we develop recipes that put the health of the dog first.

in short, our complete plant-based dog foods are healthy, comply with European FEDIAF guidelines, are hypoallergenic and better for the environment. If you are considering feeding your dog a plant-based diet, our food could be a great option!
