There have been a lot of request for me to do a review on plant based dog food. The thing is that I don’t feed my dogs plant based foods, not because I don’t like it but because my dogs are doing well on their current food.
Nevertheless, I would be reviewing plant based dog food because people have asked and are expecting me to deliver.
I have friends who feed their dogs plant based foods and their dogs thrive on them, I have also done some research and asked some vets some certain questions to make sure I deliver a good review post.
From what I have gathered a good plant based dog food should be high in protein, it should have a lower amount of fat and fiber, and it should not be too high in carbs.
At the end of this post, you will pick the plant based food that is best for your dog, sit back and enjoy.

Best plant based dog food (wet food)

V- dog also has wet food, I found out when I was researching their dry food on their site. The amount of protein is okay by me, and the amounts of other nutrients are good too.
It does not contain corn, wheat, or soy for those with dogs that might be allergic to it. It is formulated for both puppies and adult dogs.

Just like the previous wet food, this wet food also has a dry food I researched before I discovered it and just like its dry food, it is good too.
It contains a good amount of protein, and the fat, fiber, and other nutrients are in the right amount.
There are three flavors of this wet food; the gourmet extra life with organic ingredients, the gourmet entrée, and the gourmet vegetable stew.
Their foods are for both dogs and cats, so don’t be confused when you go to their site and can’t find “dog” wet food.
Halo holistic plant based wet food recipe
This wet food was also found while I was doing research on their dry food and it is up to standard like its dry food.
This wet plant based food has lower protein compared to the other wet foods but it is fine and it is not too low, I am okay with the amount of the other nutrients in the food.
It is only one flavour I found throughout my research, so I assume that is the only one they have.

Note: you consult your vet while choosing any of these foods because your dog and other dogs are not the same. So results would be different.
Even during my research, some dog parents said V- dog food did go well with their dog but wild earth did and some puppy parents said wild earth did not go well with their dog but evolution and stuff like that.
