Our Favourite Vegetarian Dog Chews

Have you ever wondered how you could reduce the meat intake of your dog whilst keeping them happy and losing absolutely no nutritional value? Well, with The Pets Larder, you won't struggle to find great alternatives to meat treats and chews with our amazing range of vegetarian options for your dog. 

Unlike cats, who need a completely meat-based diet to stay healthy, our canine companions are happy to have a mix of foodstuffs in their daily diets. The healthiest dogs will most often have omnivorous diets that have a finely balanced mix of meats, vegetables and herbs. And, as such, it is easy to introduce some tasty vegetable replacements for your dog’s favourite chews and treats into their daily routines. 

Another great benefit of choosing a plant-based dog chew or dog treat is the cost. Plant-based dog chews are often cheaper, due to the lower cost of raw ingredients and processing. 

As well as all of this, Vegetarian dog treats could help to play a role in reducing our carbon emissions. Some studies have shown that, mainly due to meat intake, a dog can be as damaging to the planet as a family car. So every little thing we can do to reduce this, whilst maintaining a healthy and happy hound, will be helping every living thing on the planet.

In today's post, we will be giving you a lowdown on some of our best-selling vegetarian dog treats, as well as giving you some recommendations on vegetarian dog treat and chew options from our in-house dog-care experts, here at The Pets Larder.
