As pet owners become more conscious of their dogs’ diets, vegan dog treats are rising in popularity. Whether for ethical reasons, food sensitivities, or simply adding variety to your pup’s snack time, plant-based treats can be a fantastic option. But are they healthy? And what are the best options available? Let’s explore why vegan dog treats can be beneficial and highlight some top picks from The Pets Larder’s vegan collection.
Absolutely! While dogs are omnivores, meaning they can digest both plant and animal-based foods, nutritionally balanced vegan treats can offer essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. According to a 2022 study published in PLOS ONE, dogs fed a nutritionally complete vegan diet showed equal or better health outcomes than those on conventional meat-based diets.
Plant-based treats are particularly beneficial for dogs with allergies to common proteins like beef or chicken. They can also support better digestion, improved skin and coat health, and sustainable pet parenting by reducing environmental impact.
If you’re considering adding plant-based treats to your dog’s diet, here are some of the best options available at The Pets Larder:
