SOYA FREE | CORN FREE | NON-GMO | ANIMAL PROTEIN & CRUELTY FREE
SOLO VEGETAL IS THE ONLY SOYA FREE PLANT-BASED DOG FOOD RECOMMENDED BY VETS IN THE UK
WHY SOLO VEGETAL?
The Italians have given us everything we love – pasta, pizzas, lasagne, gelati…..and now SOLO VEGETAL for our dogs! It is a wholesome and delicious complete food for adult dogs with a perfect balance of vital nutrients, and it is THE ONLY PLANT-BASED FOOD THAT IS RECOMMENDED BY DERMATOLOGISTS AND VETS IN THE UK, most notably promoted by Dr Sue Paterson the UK’s top veterinary dermatologist. Some very forward thinking vet practices already stock it for its premium content, but our aim is for vets up and down the country to sell it as this could be a gamechanger for plant-based feeding in dogs in the UK!
As a family of vets, we wanted the best for our own dog Ruff and he just loves the taste of the SOLO VEGETAL small round biscuits, so we felt that we had to share it with all your dogs too!
It contains a unique blend of healthy plant-based ingredients that combine to offer your dog a complete dry food with all the necessary protein, vitamins, minerals and nutrients they need to be healthy and happy (as it is very tasty).
NO SOYA | NO CORN | NON-GMO | ANIMAL PROTEIN AND CRUELTY FREE!
Dear little Rolo LOVES his Solo Vegetal food!
“He absolutely loves the food, by the way. His relationship with food has completely changed (there’s a lot more begging for food now, which we’ve never really known!), he’s rarely sick and the shuddering which suggested some GI discomfort has completely stopped. He maintains his weight well now and looks in great condition, so thank you. Looking forward to our next delivery of Solo Vegetal.”
“My dog Trixie CAN NOT eat meat. Even hydrolysed protein food contains ingredients that she cannot eat.
If she does, we have more expensive vet bills!
Solo Vegetal dry and tinned has been amazing for her and she loves it.”
“My boy loves the Solo wet and dry. His irritated skin cleared up virtually overnight.. and so did his watery eyes.. He’d only been eating it for 3 or 4 days when I noticed he was completely free of both!”
“I just want Minnie to live forever, and since transitioning her onto Solo vegetal (which she loves by the way), I have to say that Minnie’s fur has become so soft. It’s all very promising. I’m so glad I found you.”
“Just to let you know Cooper has put on half a kilo since being on Solo Vegetal and his coat is so shiny and thick and he seems so much happier and the vet is astounded with his improvement as he is obviously now retaining all the nutrients he needs (and a bonus is that he loves the food!).”
“My dog Ivy is so sensitive and allergic to so much but plant based food makes her better. The vet actually told me that she’s the best she’s ever looked, and she just LOVES her Solo Vegetal food !
Thank you again and thank you for the fastest turn out.”

SIZE
The individual pellets are round and marble-sized. The food can be mixed in with homemade plant-based food to provide a delicious balanced crunch for larger dogs, or they can be added to Kongs or activity mats to encourage foraging – ideal mental stimulation for your pet. They make perfect training treats as they are non-greasy and can be kept safely in your pocket on walks with no concern of catching meat-based infections!
Please note that the large bags of Solo Vegetal state that the biscuits are for dog weight 8kgs+ They are nutritionally fine and balanced for smaller dogs too if they can handle the size of the biscuit. They can be mixed with water and softened if the size of the biscuit is an issue with small dogs. Another option for small dogs wanting soya free balanced delicious biscuits, is to try Green Crunch or Greta Mini that we stock.

STORAGE
Store in a cool, dark place. For best before date, see date on package. Can be stored in the bag or in a container.
TRANSITION
The transition to SOLO-VEGETAL should happen over a period of two-three weeks. You should gradually reduce the amount of your usual dog food and replace the amount slowly with the SOLO-VEGETAL food to allow your dog’s gut microbiome to adapt to the plant-proteins. If your dog suffers from intolerances, they can be transitioned slightly quicker.
FURTHER DETAILS
There are no GMO ingredients and although the ingredients do mention wheat (known to be an allergen in dogs); buckwheat is in fact a seed and it contains many beneficial nutrients. Einkorn wheat is chosen for its antioxidant properties as well as being loaded with the essential nutrients EFA’s, higher protein levels, zinc, iron, potassium, riboflavin, and vitamins B6 and A. All very important for heart health. Einkorn wheat is a form of wheat chosen as it is highly digestible and is less likely to trigger reactions in people with wheat allergy as it has a different ration of gluten forming proteins to traditional wheats so is a good choice for people who may be gluten intolerant. The same can be applied to dogs.
Solo Vegetal dry also contains added valuable methionine and taurine for heart health; and the Vit D3 component comes from a pure plant-based source.
