When she originally adopted Jessy, her coat was thin and dull. Karrie knew she wanted to switch Jessy to a plant-based kibble and she soon found Wild Earth. Jessy's coat is absolutely gorgeous now, and we are glad to see our Wild Earth Performance formula supports her active lifestyle of frolicking down the beach with her hair blowing in the wind.

Good health starts in the bowl, and our pets rely on us to provide them with a diet that is complete and balanced in order to optimize their long term health and prevent disease. Historically, pet parents have reached for meat-based kibble because they believe that dogs need meat, but the reality is that dogs are not carnivores, they are omnivores, and what they need is nutrients - protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals - all which they can get from non-animal sources. For example, the main protein source in our dog food, dried yeast, contains 49% protein by weight compared to the 24% in beef. A vegan diet for dogs can be balanced and nutritious, help dogs live healthier and longer lives, and be a diet that dogs love! At Wild Earth, every ingredient in each one of our products is responsibly sourced and expertly selected to make certain we produce only the highest quality products.

Wild Earth Performance Formula contains 31.1% protein, and this protein comes primarily from dried yeast and potato protein. Unlike many other plant-based dog foods, we do not incorporate legumes in our performance or core formulas. For fat, the AAFCO minimum is 5.5% for adult maintenance. Wild Earth Performance Formula contains 12.2% fat on a dry matter basis, and plant sources of fat include flaxseed, marine microalgae, and sunflower oil to name a few. At Wild Earth, we go one step further to guarantee amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids to make sure dogs are getting the good fat they need to maintain a healthy immune system. Both starches and fiber are classified as carbohydrates. They provide energy and help maintain a healthy digestive system respectively. A few carbohydrate sources for our performance formula are oats, sweet potatoes, and barley. While AAFCO does not have a set requirement for carbohydrates, they do require maximum fiber to be printed on the bag. Lastly, for vitamins and minerals, we use a combination of plant-based and synthetic vitamins and minerals, similar to many commercially available pet foods. As you can see from looking at our bag, our dog food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO dog food nutrient profiles for maintenance. This means that our food meets and in reality actually exceeds the nutrient level recommendations set forth by AAFCO.

The answer is simple- improved health. Three new studies were published in 2022 that suggest that a vegan diet may be healthier for some dogs than conventional diets, and promote longevity for our best friends. The first of these found that dogs who were fed plant-based diets reported fewer health disorders, and increased longevity, with purely plant-based dogs reportedly living 1.5 years longer than dogs fed meat. Another study found that for dogs who were fed a vegan dog food, clear improvements after 3-12 months were reported in coat glossiness, dandruff, skin inflammation, itchiness, external ear canal crusting, fecal consistency, defecation frequency, flatus frequency, antisocial smell, anxiety, aggressive behavior and stool consumption. And finally, the third study and the largest to date revealed that dogs who eat a well-balanced plant-based diet require less medication, visit the vet less frequently, and show fewer signs of poor health compared to dogs who eat conventional meat-based dog food, suggesting that a vegan diet may be healthier for dogs.

Yep! Beef, chicken and dairy products are the main culprits that cause allergies in dogs. Symptoms of allergies that pet parents may see are constant scratching, paw licking, red itchy skin, and recurrent ear infections to name a few. Some dogs may even have vomiting and diarrhea. Wild Earth is the solution for these pups as it is devoid of the top food allergens for dogs!
