Why plant-based for dogs? 🌱🐾
The answer is simpler than you might think.
Dogs don’t require meat, they require nutrients.
Protein, essential amino acids, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals are what truly matter. When those nutrients are thoughtfully balanced, they can come from plant ingredients just as effectively as animal ingredients.
In fact, a growing body of peer-reviewed research has shown that properly formulated plant-based diets can support health outcomes comparable to (and in some studies even better than) traditional meat-based diets, including healthy body condition, bloodwork, gut health, and longevity.
At Petaluma, we believe dog food should be guided by evidence. That’s why every recipe is formulated by veterinary nutritionists to provide complete, balanced nutrition while helping reduce our impact on the planet.
