How do I transition my dog to a plant-based diet and will they like it?

Your dog will love the foods that we stock. We have various delicious brands of dry food as well as very tasty tinned foods full of natural plant powered goodness.

Transition your dog to the new food to get their gut microbiome used to the healthy increase in natural fibre by decreasing the amount of their previous food and increasing the amount of their new food over about 10 days - 2 weeks. Little and often if your dog has a very sensitive digestion.

Many dogs do adapt to the food straight away without any transition needed at all! Simply choose from our range of dry foods if your dog is used to dry and from our range of wet foods if your dog is used to tins...and we even offer recipes and supplements to cook wholefood meals for your dog!

FAQ's for Plant Powered Cats!

Aren't cats obligate carnivores that need meat in their diet to be healthy?

Cats are indeed obligate carnivores and voracious hunters that will kill and eat their prey (but usually leave the spleen and stomach of the mouse on your doorstep or bedroom floor!) Cats require a set of nutrients (not ingredients) and the right level of amino acids in their diets to remain active and healthy.

There are certain guidelines set out by FEDIAF that state exactly how much of each ingredient cats need in their diet and whether these amino acids or vitamins or minerals come from a pig's kidney, or a fish, or a chicken's liver, or a pea protein powder makes no difference once it reaches the stomach of the cat. We MUCH prefer pure proteins from plants and Omega 3's from microalgae for your cat!

Can cats digest plant proteins?

Interestingly, studies have shown that the more plant protein that was added to a cat's food, the higher the protein digestibility of the food! See the study here

Do cats like foods that contain plant-based ingredients with no fish or animals?

We appreciate that all cats are very discerning in their choices. Sometimes they will eat the food offered (whatever flavour or ingredient it is), and other times, they turn their noses up at the pouches or just lick the gravy.

For this reason, we have sourced the tastiest dry food with the highest protein level - Ami cat, and we offer tasty topper recipes for you to make for your cat to offer them every sort of variety that they may enjoy -
5 recipes are offered as cats have such varying likes and dislikes – some prefer chunks, some prefer gravy, some prefer pâté and some prefer jelly so which ever one your cat likes, we have them all covered to excite your cat’s taste buds with plant power!

These recipes are made to be as authentic as possible with the addition of our unique supplement - Vegan Salmon Oil - full of pure nutrients to enhance the health of your cat!

Do you have a cat that suffers from urinary tract issues?

We have it sorted with our Cranberry Care Supplement to sooth painful bladders and prevent the build-up of struvite crystals.
