Dora is a Newfypoo (a wonderful cross between a Poodle and a Newfoundland), and she holds the best of both these breeds with her pure joy of life, her family and her love of her vegan dog food that fills us all with such hope. Adorable Dora the Newfypoo was transitioned onto a plant-based diet quite a few years ago
In her Mum Zoe’s words –
It took about three months because I was using up what raw I had left. Started with about 1/4 raw and gradually built up. not difficult. Was giving her all homemade initially but because she’s big now do half kibble half homemade.
Improvements since transitioning from raw?
Better poops I felt she strained a bit when eating raw
Would you ever go back to raw?
No
Don’t want any animal to suffer
Better for the planet but is definitely worth it.
Do you find it expensive to feed your dog on a plant-based diet?
A little but worth it
How did you cope with the reaction from friends and family about changing diet?
I don’t shout about it but tell people if asked directly. People are interested not sure they completely agree. But Dora’s health vitality and temperament are a good advert.

“Yes I undoubtedly would recommend this food. The food along with the recipes are so easy to make . My dog loves it. I feel very confident she is getting all that she needs to thrive. This vet is so helpful and knowledgeable I feel very safe in her hands. I wish I had had her advice when I was first transitioning my 30kg dog as it’s quite scary and you only want the best for them. My dog is thriving I’m so glad I came across this wonderful website! Just be kind to your dog other animals and the planet”
April just loves Give A Dog A Bean!
I have never seen such a manic reaction from two lazy dogs, they scoffed Give A Dog A Bean as if this was the first meal they’ve had in a long time
Beautiful Loki the Vizsla loves Give A Dog A Bean
He’s on Solo Vegetal, as I’ve always been a dry food feeder for convenience, but he goes absolutely nuts for your Give A Dog A Bean!
I had previously tried him with Yumove tablets and saw no difference!
I recently trialled the Gold Dust along with the Algae oil with a 9 year old 40 kg English Bulldog that I look after who was struggling to lift his back legs to pee and go up and down the stairs
