From Specialist Dermatologists to Practice Owners……Vets in the UK are choosing VEGAN DIETS TO FEED THEIR OWN DOGS!
Dr David Bentley – Dermatology Specialist
Treatment of skin and ear disease in dogs and cats has been David’s passion for most of his professional career, obtaining his RCVS Certificate in Small Animal Dermatology in 1994, after qualifying from Liverpool Vet School in 1982.
He has a waiting list of 10 weeks for referral cases seen as his dermatology services are in such high demand with the growing number of itchy and allergic dogs.
David by his own admission, feeds his own Border Collie with Solo Vegetal as he knows of the benefits of feeding a nutritionally sound plant-based diet to benefit the skin and overall health of his own dog.
Prof Clare Knottenbelt – Veterinary Oncologist Specialist
Prof Clare Knottenbelt is one of the UK’s top veterinary oncologists who lectured at Glasgow Vet School for many years and now she runs her own veterinary oncology business.
She recommends natural plant-based diets to many of her patients as she’s seen such a remarkable change in her own Labrador Jumble. Listen to her at the London Vet Show speaking about transitioning Jumble in the video. Jumble eats Solo Vegetal dry food and Green Crunch.
Dr Nuala Summerfield – Cardiology Vet Specialist – Virtual Veterinary Specialists
Dr Nuala is such an inspiration as not only is she vegan, but she also feeds her 2 rescues on Solo Vegetal dry food and tinned food which she recently introduced as they liked it so much. Read below why she has chosen plant-based for Arthur and Elsie.
“I have been feeding my two rescue dogs Arthur and Elsie on Solo Vegetal complete dry food for the past 2 years.
Both were in poor physical health when we took them on. Solo Vegetal has been so beneficial for both dogs and has really helped their gastrointestinal and skin issues. It seems to be extremely palatable (they love it!), they remain at an ideal body weight and both dog’s coats are thick and lustrous.
As a cardiology specialist I am very aware of the importance of feeding a balanced diet to ensuring cardiac health. Arthur and Elsie’s hearts are regularly scanned in the cardiac ultrasound CPD courses that I teach, so I know that their hearts are in great shape and their exercise tolerance is phenomenal!”
Dr Peter Martin – Director and Practice Owner Jurassic Vets
Dr Peter is an inspiring vet who runs 2 very popular and busy veterinary practices in Dorset on the south coast.
As a veterinary team, they aim to “We are determined to be the friendliest and most helpful vets in Sidmouth and Colyton. We are staffed by a welcoming and knowledgeable team of veterinary surgeons, registered veterinary nurses and animal care assistants who are dedicated to animal welfare.”
This carries through to how he treats his own animals as he has a loyal rescue dog Stitch – a whippet x Jack Russell who is fed on Solo Vegetal.
Peter also promotes a sustainable way of feeding dogs in his own practice and they have a page on their website dedicated to promoting it –

“As a vet, I believe in a kinder, healthier way to feed our pets that does no damage to our environment, harms no animals and uses fresh, healthy plant-based ingredients for a balanced and delicious diet”
