Wrap Up

There’s a lot of information out there regarding the best diet for your pup. It’s important to keep in mind that dogs have a different digestive system than we do. The perfect vegan diet regimen for you doesn’t meet the same nutritional needs as a vegan diet for dogs; however, it’s completely doable. You simply need to do your research.

AAFCO sets nutritional standards for pet food in the United States, and recommends a minimum of 18% protein in a dog’s diet. This is a minimum, and a vegan diet for dogs should include a large variety of alternate proteins especially for puppies and active dogs. Some types of alternative proteins include soy, rice, oats, peanut butter, quinoa, and wheat germ.
