Canine nutritionists and vets are increasingly endorsing a complete plant-based diet for dogs.
Like us, dogs are biological omnivores, which means they can get all their essential nutrients from a carefully formulated meatless diet. The Vet Times reported that plant-based dogs could live longer, as shown in a study by the University of Guelph in Canada. [Ref]
The most extensive study of its kind found that plant-based dogs visit the vet less often. It hailed plant-based as the “healthiest and least hazardous dietary choice for dogs”. [Ref]
Herbie Wilde has 39 natural ingredients chosen for their health & wellness. Supporting a robust immune system, energy levels, a happy gut, a glossy coat… the list goes on!
Dogs have nutrient requirements, not ingredient requirements. In fact, meat proteins are the number one cause of food intolerances in dogs. All the protein they need can be obtained from natural plant sources, and they’re easier on the tum!
Herbie Wilde has a wholesome blend of high-quality and easily digestible plant proteins and is entirely free-from dairy, soya and grains, with no artificial preservatives.

The largest study of its kind found that plant-based pet foods were enjoyed as much as meat-based ones. [Ref]
