Dear Sandy,

Thank you so much for making such a great product as your Human grade Veganpet dry food. I have had my two pups on Veganpet since they were 10 weeks old. They are now thriving happy dogs. Our Vet comments on how healthy they are and what good condition their coat and skin is in. It is great that I do not have to worry that the ingredients are from China, India, or some other place like the other Vegan pet foods that are for sale in Australia. I love the fact you use only Australian grown ingredients and Veganpet is Australian made and is HUMAN grade. So I don't worry keeping the food in our kitchen with our food.

You have a great product Sandy and Kudos to you for doing all that research and testing to meet AAFCO standards. On top of this, my two dogs just love the taste and break into the food as soon as it arrives. Keep up the great work.

Kindest regards,
Crystal

Polly is just over 7 years old. I got her from a cat shelter when she was 18 months. Even though she wasn't a kitten, it was easy to make a gradual transition from feeding her 'normal' cat food to feeding her only Veganpet dry cat food. She never seems to tire of it, but she loves the Veganpet canned cat food too, which I sometimes give her as an extra treat. (The can is quite large so I usually freeze it in an ice cube tray for convenience).

She thrives on it - her eyes are bright, she has a wonderful soft silky coat and regular vet checks show that she's in great shape. I've thought about getting another rescue cat as a companion for her. If I do, I won't hesitate to feed him/her on Veganpet too.

It puzzles me when vegans think they have to feed their cats meat. It’s time for them to question what’s behind that belief and think again. I could understand it if there were no alternative available, but there clearly is – just ask Polly and all the other vegan pets here on this site!

Hi Sandy,

Hope you are well. I checked on the veganpet site and I think it has this same email address for sharing testimonials. Am sharing ours if you can please share on the veganpet site. Also sharing a recent picture of Simba for the testimonial.

"I got in touch with Veganpet even before we got a puppy as we only wanted to give our dog vegetarian food, being vegetarians ourselves. Sandy was amazing! She answered all of my zillion questions so patiently guiding me step by step on how to wean a puppy on Veganpet food and even helping us with wonderful advice on how to look after our new puppy! I am happy to say our puppy 'Simba', is completely on veganpet dry food and he is doing very well on it! Thank you Sandy for all your help and your fantastic dog food! We are happy in knowing that Simba is getting all his nutrition needs met in a completely cruelty-free way! Thanks again, Sandy! ❤

Regards,
Natasha

Hi Sandy,

Would you like another vegan cat testimonial to add to your wonderful collection? I was reading them today and I think they’re a great way to reach out to others to change to a cruelty-free diet for their cat.

“Uma is a rescue cat I acquired a year ago, and has been eating Veganpet dry cat food from the day she arrived. She is now 5 years old and in excellent health. I’ve been vegan 38 years myself, so I don’t have any animal products in my home, and Veganpet cat food is a Godsend! Uma is also called “the pumpkin munchkin” because she also loves steamed pumpkin mixed in with her food.

I researched cat food requirements and discovered the dogs and humans require 9 essential amino acids, whilst cats require an extra two (carnitine and taurine). Whilst these amino acids are naturally occurring in meat, they are usually depleted from meat pet food during the washing and drying cycles. These means they have to be supplemented artificially into meat pet food, the same as they are into vegan pet food. So there is no nutritional gain in having a cat eating meat pet food, when vegan pet food has the same 11 amino acids in it! And the vegan pet food is cruelty-free, so it’s actually a win-win!”

Kindly,
Harry

Hi Sandy!

After making my second order I thought I’d let you know how much my little puppy Penny is enjoying your food.

She’s been finishing off the dry pellets I was given when I adopted her, and I’ve been incorporating more and more of the vegan food each meal and she loves it!

Before switching foods, I ran it by my vet David Stasuik at Cheltenham vet clinic who was not only 100% on board but said he even knew you, so that has made everything a lot easier.

I enjoy adding extra vegetables and things like chia seeds to Penny’s dinner along with the dry food. If you have any thoughts or ideas on other items I could be adding, I would very much appreciate any advice you have.

Also, thank you for the note and all the info that was sent along with my order. It made purchasing online personal and enjoyable.

Regards,
Steph

Dear Sandy,

Thank you so much for the lovely note and treats you kindly enclosed with my order of your dog kibble which I received today. My dogs absolutely love it! I have only just put them on a vegan diet in the last few weeks, and after quite a bit of research, I have decided to feed them half of my home-cooked dog food and half of your kibble. The plan is to give them all of their nutrients from your kibble and to bulk it up with my homemade food. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I must say it’s quite daunting!

I cook up a large pot of 1 cup brown rice, 1 cup green lentils, 1/2 cup mixed quinoa and 2 medium sweet potatoes. I cook it till very soft then puree it a bit. I have been adding nutritional yeast for B12, blackstrap molasses, flax oil, L-Carnitine, and Taurine. Should the ratio of wet to dry food be half and half and do I still need to add the supplements? I hope you don’t mind me throwing all these questions at you!

I have two King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, Charlie (Blenheim) who is 12, and Harley (tri-color) who is 2. They are my babies and I want them to be healthy. My whole family is vegan so it just seemed the right thing to do with the dogs.

Now that I know the dogs love your food I am going to put in an order for the 15kg bag.

BTW, the dogs devoured the treats in seconds!

Thank you so much again and I’m sure my babies are going to be healthy, happy vegans with the help of your wonderful food!

Hi Sandy,

My name is Eve and I ordered some Veganpet dog food from you and my partner has been ordering it from you since.

I just wanted to write and let you know that I think that your product is just fabulous. It really helps us to have something nutritious to feed the dogs if we are in a rush for work, and just for our peace of mind really. I am a vegan and my partner is a vegetarian and it is important to us that we feed and raise our dogs in a vegan, compassionate manner.

I am attaching two photos of our dogs – they are Staffordshire Bullterriers. They might be a little old, but I’m having trouble locating them in this computer! If you would like to post them on your website I don’t mind. I enjoy the look of amazement on so many people’s faces when I tell them that the dogs are veg – they don’t expect the dogs to be so strong, active, and healthy I guess.

The male brindle-colored dog is Seth. He is very strong and energetic. He also has a very noble quality about him. He loves affection, going for walks, and gets a bit worried if he can see that I am unhappy or down about something.

The brown dog is an old female called Venus. She was raised on a standard meat diet for dogs before I got her from a friend. She is now also vegan, and her energy levels and health have improved so much that it has made me more determined to continue with veganism.

So, again, thank you Sandy, for all your hard work, and providing a product that reflects love and compassion. Keep up the excellent work!

Hi Sandy,

This is Tamara, I ordered Veganpet dry food for Flynn and you asked me to let you know how it was going. Well, so far so good, Flynn has been eating it all up mixed with pumpkin, squash, carrot, and apple.

Flynn loves eating and gets very excited when he sees the food, he’s also put on a healthy amount of weight.

I hope it is not too much trouble to let me know if you think it’s safe for Flynn to continue on Veganpet.

Kind regards,
Tamara

I’m a vegan and for the same reasons that I chose to be vegan, I have also decided that I want my Family (so far just my Kitten Flynn) vegan as well. I actually stumbled across your food and read up on it before going ahead with the Vegan Pet Food. So far, I’m happy, Flynn’s happy – it is great food. Flynn my cat is a male, 11 months old, and has a black medium length coat. He is healthy, the only concern is a small, minor cataract on part of his eye that I’ve been told is a result of him being on death's door as a kitten. It does not bother him, affect his sight and it’s not that noticeable. He is a regular, happy, playful kitten.

I just wanted to say thank you very much for your wonderful product. For the last year, my cat, Monty, has been on a vegan diet; made possible because of your cat food. He looks very well and his health is better than when he was eating a meat-based diet. He also seems very content with his new diet; he also enjoys soya mince, soy ‘meat’ products, avocados, and nutritional yeast. Thanks again for enabling me to share my life with a beautiful cat without having to compromise my ethics.
