On top of being able to call Noochy Poochy a ‘complete’ dog food we also supplement both amino acids Methionine and Taurine. In addition, we use a special combination of olive oil, rapeseed oil and linseed oil to give Noochy Poochy an Omega 6:3 ratio of 4:1. This is considered optimum for dog health. Noochy Poochy go the extra mile so you don’t have to. Over 99% of their ingredients are sourced from the UK or Europe. Their soybeans are certified responsibly-sourced and their brown rice and rice protein concentrate are organic. The 2kg bag is certified fully recyclable PE4, easy-tear and re-sealable for freshness. The 12kg paper bag is fully recyclable, however is not re-sealable so for maximum enjoyment and crunchiness keep kibble in airtight containers until needed. of our top 5 ingredients are organic and we’re also proud of our wholegrains (naked oats and organic brown rice). If your dog has any sensitivities or suspected allergies, it is always worth consulting with your vet. Some of the best vegan dog food producers below also offer free online vet consultations when you sign up for a subscription, so they can support you too. But they all stressed the importance of educating yourself thoroughly before transitioning a dog to a plant-based diet.
It’s all very well shouting about ‘biological appropriateness ‘ of diets but we would argue that those shouting the loudest maybe haven’t done their research and aren’t looking at the bigger picture. As advances continue to be made in the field, driven by consumer demand for farmed animal welfare and the environment, it is not an unrealistic view of the future to consider a vegan and plant-based diet for dogs to become the new normal. Not only does Noochy Poochy have the highest protein content of any plant-based or vegan dog food on the UK market – but with our choice of specific proteins and supplements – all 10 essential amino acids dogs need to survive and thrive are all plentifully provided – including the amino acids methionine and taurine.Plant-based pet feeding is often presented as a time-consuming challenge, but Thomas insists it’s no more trouble than what she was doing before. She feeds Loki a commercial vegan kibble called Solo Vegetal, made from rice, potato, spinach, apple, carrot and different vegetable proteins. It’s expensive – roughly the same cost as any special diet pet food from a veterinary practice – but no supplements are required. “I have absolute confidence in it,” Thomas says. “And if I didn’t, you know, I would be struggling with my principles and my ethics and probably feeding him something I didn’t want to feed him.” Feast your eyes on our number-two sustainable food startup, THIS™. Its founders Andy Shovel and Pete Sharman had an unconventional entry into the meat-free industry. These days, both of Father Terry’s dogs, Pepe and George – a more recent rescue – eat a plant-based diet. “By the time I’d got George I’d gone vegan, so he was vegan from day one with me, but of course he was six months old when he came to me off the streets of Greece, and I don’t know what he’d been eating before.” We would also advise that the overall protein content of the food is 24% or above to ensure it’s providing the best food for your dog.
The more plants you add into the diet, the healthier the pet will be’: Arielle Griffiths with her pet dog, Ruff. Photograph: Fabio De Paola/The Guardian Here at PlantLabs we are growing our Noochy Poochy range, developed by our vet and nutritionist team, slowly and carefully so that we have the best nutrition for your dog... but also from sustainable and ethical sources.When you choose Noochy Poochy Puppy Food, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are providing your furry companion with the highest quality nutrition. Our commitment to meeting FEDIAF’s guidelines and catering to the needs of puppies, small breeds, and older dogs sets us apart as a trusted choice for discerning pet parents. I wanted a list I would be happy seeing on something I was buying for myself, also wanting organic ingredients.”
So for me, as an environmentally-conscious vegan, this is a great match. And good news too for all pet parents who are either looking to start moving their dogs onto a plant-based diet, or have already done so.
Where Did Dogs Come From? A History Lesson
There are some plant-based companies, sadly, in the UK that don’t follow the proper FEDIAF guidelines,” says Griffiths. “They’ve been around for a long time, they’re not balanced and they haven’t got these valuable additions. They haven’t followed the times.” The only thing that really qualifies as a negative is that you’ll probably find yourself justifying feeding your dog vegan dog food to people who don’t necessarily understand dog nutrition or how they significantly differentiate from wolves. Conclusion? Controversially, we’ve included vegan-dog-food brand, Noochy Poochy as our final startup. But the truth is, our furry friends almost have more choices than us for sustainable eating.
